There’s only one place where you can shamelessly buy food in bulk, all at a fraction of the normal cost. Yes, we are talking about Costco. But while this holy haven is revered for its endless amount of options, weeding through the store can often be an overwhelming experience—that is, if you go unprepared.

To save your frazzled nerves and help you get the most bang for your buck, we’ve rounded up the most affordable and best quality goods that Costco has to offer. So, consider your next shopping list complete!

Frozen wild Alaskan salmon

While fish is usually the priciest meat to splurge on at the grocery store, Costco offers an inexpensive option for all seafood lovers. For just $14 per pound, you can enjoy a succulent cut of salmon without making a dent in your wallet.

Rotisserie chicken

At only $5, an entire rotisserie chicken is even cheaper than its frozen alternative. It’s ready-to-eat and makes a quick and easy meal for the whole family. Plus, you can shred it or slice it for lunch the next day to put in savory sandwiches or tacos.

Pizza

Most shoppers will argue that Costco pizza is takeout quality without the takeout price point. From classic cheese to more decadent flavors like chicken alfredo, you can find nearly any type you desire for as little as $10.

Dave’s Killer Bread

They don’t call it “killer” for nothing. You can get two for the price of one at your local Costco, making it easy to enjoy one now and freeze one for later.

Olive oil

A cooking staple, olive oil is sold at the food mecca for only $18 a bottle.

Crumbled feta

If you love cheese as much as we do, this next item is for you. From gouda to feta and all that’s in between, Costco’s selection of cheeses will leave any shopper satisfied.

La Terra Fina Chunky Artichoke & Jalapeño Dip

This savory dip is the perfect appetizer for your next gathering, making party planning a breeze. It tastes great heated up and paired with pita chips, spread on a sandwich, or even slathered on a bagel in lieu of cream cheese!

Coconut oil

Since you already use it for everything, why not stock up on it? Costco’s $15 option is great for all your cooking and baking needs; plus, it’s a total lifesaver if you want to rejuvenate hair and soothe dry skin.

Wine

There’s no doubt we all love cheap—but good!—wine. Say hello to Costco’s Kirkland brand wines, which retail for only $20 a bottle. While this may seem a little steep compared to your average Two-Buck Chuck, your taste buds will definitely thank you later for the slight upgrade.

Fresh blueberries

Although offered in relatively small-sized packages, this favorite fruit is offered for lower prices than at your local grocery store during off-seasons.
