Shopping list for a Costco food run, suggestions?

[teddy12b]

In my normal food rotations it's time to restock and I thought it'd be a good mental exercise to play here with everyone. We could pick a $$ value, but I'd rather see the list the people would think of if they were going to run to Costco to stock up on food and supplies. I'm not trying to start the whole picture of guns, ammo, survival gear etc, but focusing on what would be on your list at Costco if you weren't in a rush and had time to go pick up a solid food supply.

Food:
*Flour
*Canned Veggies
*Canned Fruit
*Canned meats
*Veggie Oil
*Sugar
*Salt
*Bag of beans (which ones?)
*Bag of rice
*Peanut butter

Hygiene:
*Lady stuff
*Toothepaste
*Bar soap
*Dish Soap

I'm just curious what everyone else would add to this as my list is pretty basic.

I just returned from Costco.

My list was very specific and consisted of:


Eggs
Panko Shrimp
Mixed Nuts


These will last us until our next trip.
We're on that new diet... Poverty.

Actually, they've been out of a couple items we usually pick up.
They constantly rotate their inventory, so when they have something, be sure to get a lot.

I did a search using the words “prepper, costco, list” and got a lot of art and videos on this topic. Usually a good one most do not think of on each link.

Go hungry and eat at the Cafe before you shop.

If the price is good on eggs, I'd buy a bunch. Eggs last a long time in the fridge.

I freeze dry mine. Will last about 25 years that way. 2 Tbl of powder egg and 2 Tbl of water makes 1 egg. We have about 300 eggs put back this way. Purchase your honey local to you, better health benefits that way. Stock up on you spices, no reason to have to eat bland food.

This is always good advice but it is probably better for the budget to stock both.

I have a cheap LED shop light and it is ruining all my spices ? Zapping the color out of them strange.

And tampons are a nice thing until they run out cannot possibly stock enough of them. So while the getting is good they make reusable pads and also a cup. Both would take some changes to the routine but I’d imagine better than nothing. And changes / sacrifices would be made anyhow in shtf type scenario.

I can only store so many cigars……. My problem is I smoke them when I get them.

Costco we just buy what we use once a month. + a little extra when money allows.

I pick up TP and papertowels everytime I go, no matter how much I have at home. I usually grab a couple cases of Diet Pepsi, bacon, a cooked chicken or two and salted cashews as well.

Their white queso back in the cooler section is also a must have at our house.
