How many of you shop at Costco? how many of you absolutely love their products (especially food). I DO I DO!

so I recently discovered their salmon burgers. I highly recommend getting it if you havent tried it. It's packed with omega 3's and is loaded with protein and tastes awesome when grilled. Just throw it on the grill (or fry pan) and it's done in as little as 6 minz. Filling (in a sandwich), tastes great, and healthy! what more can you ask for?

I also recommend buying their california rolls, jalepeno hummus, and their shrimp tempuras.

so costco lovers (and I know you are out there)....what products do you guys recommend?

Maroush, Costco is a chain of retail stores where you buy an annual membership and purchase products at discounted prices and huge sizes (mostly). So if you come from a large family, you can save some serious $$.

yea you could and for people that dont have large families some items are still worth getting....especially the items that dont spoil....paper towels, toothpaste, napkins...etc etc.


maroush...basically they sell in bulk which is some cases are cost effective.

checkout lines are enormous. Im gonna be in line forever today

if you go on a weekend...it's like a zoo. Go when they open...10am on saturday or on a weekday (preferably) @10am if you can. You wont have those scary long lines.

are those salmon burgers from wild caught salmon or farmed salmon?

there might not be much omega-3s in farmed salmon; worse, it could have a ton of saturated fats, and red dye.

salmon in itself is an acquired taste. not many like the strong salmon taste.

i know...costco is suppose to help cut costs...instead you end up going crazy buying stuff you dont need.

ooo which reminds me...their baklava and biscotti's are really good 2.
