The ultimate Costco Grocery List showing the healthiest products to add to your shopping cart! Printable Shopping List included!

I go back and forth deciding if a membership to Costco Wholesale is worth the $60/year fee. For now, it seems to be worth it. You can’t beat the convenience of buying certain items in bulk, while hopefully saving a little money. However, be careful shopping at Costco because the prices can add up fast and cause major “sticker shock” at the checkout! Plus, having “too much” food in the house can also add up fast around your waistline!
Over the years I have learned to shop cautiously at Costco, steering clear of the bakery, and focusing on buying products that are mostly healthy and beneficial to my family. For a family of 4, I have also learned not to buy too much fresh produce or large quantities of perishable food that could go bad before we have a chance to eat it.

To help make my trips to Costco easier, I’ve created a list of over 70 (mostly) healthy products that I like to purchase again and again, for one reason or another (price, quality, convenience). I shop at Costco about once a month and focus on the

Nuts & Dried Fruit
Keep in mind that nuts contain natural oils that can cause them to go rancid over time. Always store them in an airtight container. If you’re not able to eat a bulk-size bag of nuts within 2-3 months, consider storing them in the fridge or freezer to prolong their quality (up to 6 months to 1 year respectively).

Snacks
I try to stick to “healthier” options of snack-size chips and bars. Pretzel Crisps are great on a veggie tray with hummus. The only ingredient in Bare Apple Chips is apples. I always have some type of cracker in the pantry.
