Best Items to Snag at Costco—9 Top Picks From an Insider

It's a given that Costco has become a very popular big-box membership warehouse club, offering discounts on brand-name merchandise in bulk and non-bulk sizes. Costco opened 1976 under the Price Club name, and in 1983, the first Costco warehouse location opened in Seattle. The concept took off, and Costco became the first company to grow from zero to $3 billion in sales in under six years.

Today, Costco is actually the third-largest retailer in the world, only behind Walmart and Amazon, and is a Fortune 500 company. "With hundreds of locations worldwide, Costco provides a wide selection of merchandise, plus the convenience of specialty departments and exclusive member services, all designed to make your shopping experience a pleasurable one," the company says.

So, with all of the many items at Costco, how do you go about knowing what's the best thing to buy? Now, a veteran employee is giving the scoop to Southern Living and dishing on the best Costco items to snag.

"Watch the items in the sale flyer to get the biggest bang for your buck," the employee told Southern Living in a June 13 feature. "Especially for items you would already normally buy."

The employee pinpointed nine specific items that are especially worth getting: rotisserie chicken; chicken noodle soup; half-and-half; Kirkland grass-fed butter; Fairlife protein drinks; Kirkland travel pants; pre-made deli items; wine, beer and spirits; and a case of Kirkland bottled water.

The employee especially raved about the rotisserie chicken, stating, "You can't beat it for $4.99," the Costco employee stated. "It's always fresh and so versatile and an extremely economical meal for a family. If you wanted, you could even boil or roast the bones for broth."

Also for a tip on the chicken noodle soup, the employee said that "it's seasonal, so it isn't usually available in the summer," but you can repackage it "into smaller containers and frozen for later use."

Some other items you might not realize you can buy at Costco are gold, music (think vinyl) and jewelry. Who would have known?
