7 Things I Always Buy at Costco

True confession: I love peeking into other people’s shopping carts. I’m fascinated by the reasons someone might stock up on a particular product.

There’s no better place for such spying than the membership-only warehouse chain Costco.

I once saw two women in Costco loading up a pair of carts with humongous bags of Skinny Pop popcorn. My imagination went wild. Were they teachers planning a school movie night? Or did they just really, really love the stuff?

That inspired me to let you, dear reader, peek into my own Costco shopping cart. I’m a veteran of more than two decades of shopping there, after all.

Below are some of my favorite items to buy at Costco. Where possible, I’ve included links to the products. Take note, though: Prices online can differ from Costco’s in-store charge for the same item.
