So I LOVE Costco, but I don't buy a lot of prepared stuff even though they have a great selection to choose from. If I did, I'd be all over the offerings there.
Mostly, we buy meat, cheeses, cream, bagels, vegetables and fruit if I know I can use them up in time, wine, sparkling water, deluxe mixed nuts, fig bars, granola bars, tortilla chips, paper towels, toilet paper, parchment paper, plastic wrap, garbage bags, batteries, tires.
A few years ago, I was making dinner once a week for 150+ people. I would be at Costco when they opened the door in the morning and push a flatbed cart around and get all my ingredients. I also found a local grocery store that would special order me in any item I needed and then give me a discount for the volume. Those were good times
We had a turkey breast, dressing and scalloped potatoes for Thanksgiving. Liked it all so much I went back and bought two of everything so we can repeat it.
That turkey breast was outstanding and I am no meat-eater.
I Love Costco's Ravioli Lasagna, Chicken Alfredo (both of these are prepared in the store). Some good Giovanni pasta with chicken meal and Chicken Parmesan, which I rarely eat but like their version a lot.
We do their fruit and veggies but frequent Sam's club more often and get these staples there.
I think my absolute favorite is a sprouted grain bread (low carb) from a local Vietnamese/French bakery, and it is the one thing that is causing me angst about our move....
I'll eat it plain, toasted... you name it, I'll eat it.
In general everything at CostCo I usually like, they have great buyers.
My neighbor turned me on to their Kirkland wine, pretty good, great price. DH did not have the same review of their store tequila.

We no longer shop at either and never really bought any products with a brand name when we did. We went to TJ's once and were not impressed.
