      All things keto... almond butter, almond flour, birchwood keto pancake mix, monkfruit sweetner, frozen grassfed beef patties, avocado mayonnaise, avocado oil, sardines, tuna fish... so many keto (and can be used for paleo) diet options that are tremendously cheaper at costco. Their baking supplies... especially now that the holidays are around the corner. Cleaning supplies (esp when on sale), Kirkland brand of laundry detergent.... for me.... I have chronic pain, their ibuprofen and acetaminophen is so much cheaper... dont forget one can get the printer ink cartridge refilled there very cheap.

      That’s important to me as a shopper, too. It makes a difference to whether or how often I’ll shop some place. I’m willing to pay a bit more knowing employees will benefit. The one exception is Amazon - I’ve heard they do NOT treat employees well, but they’re simply too hard to give up. Especially with things as they are now.

I've been working at Costco for 4yrs & a few of my colleagues started after graduating high school & have spent their entire careers (some for 20+ yrs) with the company. It's very hard to get hired there because of low turnover. I wish you all the best there. :)

    Costco had me return a mattress we had used for about 2.5 years and gave us full purchase price for it. I called their customer service to find out where/how to get warranty service on it as it was really sagging and not comfortable.

    After watching a few of your videos about Costco shopping, one that stood out was their liquor offerings. I live in MD, which does not allow liquor sales, but the DC one does. So by taking a little road trip,, was well worth it. For example, bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon there. At my local liquor store, a standard 750ml bottle is $37, at DC Costco, a huge 1.75 l bottle is $37. A 23 year old single malt scotch by Kirkland, highly rated by whiskey reviewers, was $78. On average, a 20+ year single malt from any of the major distilleries is priced in the several hundred dollar range. For future purchasing, will resist the urge to shop for any frozen items from trips to this particular Costco, since the commute is prone to traffic delays, even if going mid-afternoon on a Tuesday.

And beauty products generally don’t expire and are used everyday.

    I have heard somewhere that Costco actually loses money on those chickens, but they want to keep them at that price, because they are such a strong draw for bringing customers much more frequently into the stores, where they will purchase other items while there, so it actually turns into a considerable profit for them.

    If you're into the rotisserie chicken, they also sell the meat de-boned and packaged (you can find it with the ready made meals in refrigerated area).

    My husband and I love to watch your videos…you’re not just offering us price savings, that we wouldn’t already know, but we really enjoy your personality, humor, and honesty. There quite a few items that you named today that we totally agree with: eggs, cheeses, rotisserie chicken ( and already cooked chicken wings, (yum!). I always look at any of clothes items because the deals are just ridiculous..in a great way…name brand items are amazing, one of which you didn’t mention but I can attest to are jeans. The only jeans I ever buy are GV Amanda jeans which Costco typically sells for under $15 ( usually from $9.99 to $12.99). I’m looking for them now and hope they come in soon. Other clothing stores sell them starting at $24.99 and up, (even with their 30% off coupons). BTW, hopefully you’ve seen a recent article that discussed gas quality comparisons between Costco and the other big store. I was surprised to see how Costco gas is a better quality that is much better for your autos.
    The day is too short for us to continue but I do know that you’ve convinced my husband and myself to continually look at your videos for write-ups on Costco and other stores, not just for ideas and item reviews but also because you aren’t boring, but as a treat you make us laugh!
    Keep it up, take care and ‘we love you’ too.

    Great list Matt! One point of correction...oils CAN go bad-they can go rancid-and that can cause body aches. Way to tell? Your nose knows-there is a definite off-smell to rancid oils. I've never gotten a rancid oil from Costco, but it is something to consider if the oil is older or has been stored incorrectly. Thanks for the great content!!

    I would add a caveat for the olive oil. Real extra virgin olive oil might have a 2 to 3 week shelf life once it’s been unsealed and will start to go rancid. Someone might not notice it as much if they’re using olive oil to fry something instead of as a salad dressing or light sautéing oil, but unless the EVOO is in a sealed pouch which keeps the air out, you should be using a lot of it to go through a Costco size before it loses it’s health benefits and flavor.

    The problem with olive oil is that it's been recently exposed that many are being cut with cheaper vegetable oils that are loaded with inflamatory Omega 6s. Same with avacado oils. Costco carries Marianna's avacado oil that is pure. I usually buy the organic olive oil there, so I should be safe. If your olive oil doesn't have a peppery taste, then it's probably not real olive oil.

All organic, if you care for that, but very strong, non scented, my baby who is fairly sensitive - it has been great. Best of all when I’m pulling to get them out, I only get one wipe, I don’t have a whole bunch strangling with the one I’m pulling. Oh and it was $2 cheaper than the “Kirkland” Costco brand, I believe that’s the everyday price, lastly it also has the same 900 wipes.

    Tip for non members - You can accompany a member to the store and shop with them. Fill your own cart. When you go to check out, tell the cashier the orders are separate but on the same card. They will sub total each order. The member has to pay the grand total, but because the two orders are separate you can pay the member the part you owe them.
    Don't forget to give them a little extra as appreciation for their kindness.
    For those who think this is just being a cheapskate, we do this to save money while shopping for a non profit organization that only needs supplies a couple times a year.

    I don't how I got lucky enough to get your video in my feed and now I'm hooked! I must've seen about 5 back to back! Love your enthusiasm and candidness! Your hand gestures add to your presentation and charm. Thank you

    Regarding the trash bags, I usually buy a smaller trash can that fits with the grocery plastic bags (free from grocery). That way you're taking out the trash often and it leads to little to no smell :)

    The best baby wipes EVER are by WaterWipes. They are almost as moist as a wet washcloth. They are chemical-free and made in Ireland. My local Costco doesn't carry them (yet) so I find them at Target and Wal-Mart. I hope Costco carries them one day soon.
