[@kakarco5676]

I am always buying toilet paper at Costco and now maybe baby formula lol Since watching your last video I can't stop looking at the prices and comparing whether it's a good deal or not.. but I guess that's a good thing :)

[@coolchicks1907]

The Melea Show I like to buy Kirkland organic hummus , and kirkland organic honey.

[@graceburby]

The Melea Show Ling Ling dumplings. Our favorite Sunday lunch. 😋part 3 please.

I think you should do a seasonal Costco video. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. There are different items in the store during these times of year and I am more than sure you could provide great information about saving money. I am curious about all of these money saving tips you provide. It takes time to map out and coordinate coupons, sales in different stores, drive to the location and haul all of your items home. I would be interested to find out if it's actually cheaper to have your groceries delivered to your home via a new delivery services vs. going to do traditional grocery shopping. Have you ever done a price comparison video like that?

[@sanoethe2658]

Thanks for taking the time to educate folks on what to buy and what not to buy at Costco. I’ve watched part 1 & 2 and learned a lot, thank you!

[@marjorieyoung6391]

Please do a part three video - these are so helpful! I love Costco's cheese, organic milk, bread and the quality of their beach towels.

[@cindys1641]

Marjorie Young YES! The beach towels!!!!

[@edhopper596]

I like how you present Costco to the public. it's refreshing. I've been shopping there for years and enjoy their offerings here in the palm beach gardens area. so many good things that make people happy in all their aisles. good day . ed.

[@EmaleeHolland]

I love getting the giant tub of coconut oil! It can be used for every thing and it's basically a lifetime supply

[@jesseb5112]

Emalee Holland I am a soapmaker. I bought it because I was out and it lasted a month or so.

[@eelised7805]

Emalee Holland me too...I put that stuff on everything.

[@freedominabudget]

Me too!! Such a great deal!!

[@rachealvenegas2132]

How many oz?

[@aubreymerton3085]

I love the broccoli kale salad kit; and also whatever happens to be on sale - Pull-Ups, laundry detergent, k-cups. We go through these items quickly it seems, so it's nice to have a large quantity on hand.

[@sharynelliott9167]

I used to worked for Costco and the reason their fresh meat is more is the grade of the meat Costco usually only carries CHOICE grade which is not usually an option at all regular stores most stores carry SELECT. So if better quality meat is important to you Costco is awesome.

[@phillk6751]

They also sell prime which is hard to find...most chain grocery stores dont except for the yuppie ones like Sprouts/whole foods

Sharyn Elliott do you think it’s good for a single person ?

[@nicoleboily-keuscher4049]

My favorite thing to buy at Costco is home items. We got outdoor hanging lights, and our beautiful laminate flooring when it went on sale last fall!

[@karennadherny7615]

Thank you for this video! I would love a video on your knowledge about when the sales are during the year at regular grocery stores. I had no idea that they had specific times when things were a better deal!

[@TheMeleaShow]

Great Idea!

[@lisajustin4359]

I've never been to Costco before but where I live they will be building a Costco starting this summer! I am so so excited! Thank you so much for your tips on how to shop at Costco I will put them to use as soon as the store is finished!

[@ballisonfargo]

Glad to hear your first comment. In many cases, the quality at Costco is far superior to the offerings at the local grocery store. Meat is a good example of this.

[@aprilepperson9885]

Love your Costco Videos, I definitely pick up a lot when at Costco, But the big pack of Corn Tortillas are a must. I love that they separate them in too 2 inner packs to keep them fresh.

[@jessicah9311]

Had a plumber with twenty years of experience tell me Kirkland brand toilet paper was the best for your plumbing. Said he uses it at home and even insists his tenants use it in his rentals. Something to consider.

[@lyndsaythom]

My favorite thing to buy at Costco is dishwashing detergent packs. We run our dishwasher every day so it's nice to have a 3-4 month supply on hand.

[@thebells4229]

I love Costco's Kirkland brand diapers! They are such great quality for the price point! I would love to see a part 3!

[@UnitedPebbles]

Adult diapers and tampons are hot stock items!??? Won't expired, guys.

[@eelised7805]

I love getting the grapefruit cups, tubs of Taziki, flat pretzel chips, bags chopped salad and rotisserie chicken.

[@reeveb1104]

I LOVE THE FRUIT SNACKS! I tend to also buy the gum but I always feel like I'm getting ripped off. Yes! please, do another Costco video! They are seriously so helpful

[@kimmc3055]

when the gum goes on sale, it is a great deal. I wait for the sale and stock up then.

[@sandiemom8888]

I just recently joined Costco, as we didn't have one before. I buy the water as its a really great deal. My son and I can only drink bottled water so it's important to get the best deal. TY for doing these 2 videos as its a great help to know what to buy. Being a busy mom to 8 and my youngest being disabled. My time is limited to spend on comparison shopping.

[@BRBallin1]

Buy the Kirkland detergent. It's cheap and eco-friendly (supposedly)

[@kingdavid7571]

Every brand that I've tried other than Tide or Cheer messes up colors after a while. I'm low income, and I still buy those two.

[@thehornfamily1]

Yes part 3 Costco trip please! Home remodeling items faucets at costco worth it? Meat? Milk? Fruit? Salad? Bulk sugar? etc.

[@monikosorio4396]

Love love love these Costco videos! This is how I found you in the first place! I send this link to all my sisters and mom, some friends and family that are into great deals and KZbin ha! I loved hearing about the detergent being such a great price and how much you should pay for it. Thanks for always taking the time to break prices down. Makes shopping a little more pocket friendly. By far favorite thing to buy at Costco is rice rollers from the kids and myself. Not sure if it's a good price but it is something we like to pick up from there 😍

[@rickadawn92]

I love their ice cream, chicken salad and their cakes!!! BEST things ever to get from Costco!! I live over 30 minutes away from the nearest Costco and it is so worth the drive just for those three things.

[@PhilipAnderson]

You didn't even mention the 5% credit on the Citibank Visa card on gas purchases at Costco gas stations (up to $7,000 per year) that now is your membership card as well. Last year I paid $130 for the top membership and got $270 back at the end of my membership year. Take that check to Costco, and they pay you off in CASH!!! On top of that, Costco consistently has the lowest gas prices anywhere around!

[@lisam8009]

Great video! I always like buying sliced bread I think it's a great value and it always seems to be fresher than the grocery stores.

[@janaehanvey396]

Fruit snacks, applesauce pouches, and fruit leather. My kids are obsessed with all of those!

[@cathyjackson8337]

Love your Costco wisdom. I shop for my husband an myself. Plz show us how to store such large amounts of food. Can you freeze cheese etc.

[@nicoledwg1]

Ocean Girl you can definitely freeze shredded cheese.

[@tonyapauls151]

Ocean Girl l

[@kathyb3606]

Yes, cheese can be frozen. However use within a 6 month to 1 year time frame. Also be advised that the freezing will cause the cheese to crumble when you try to cut it.

[@teresepowell9361]

Awesome tips! Thank you! Having a family over 4 members makes Costco more ideal for things like *milk and fruit* (depending on the season), which also happen to be a couple of our favorite things to buy... *tortillas, cheese, and bread* are up there as well. Hope you're having a great week!

[@lisalisa4316]

I think butter is an excellent buy

[@sshelle]

I enjoy the pretzel rolls, the Normande Lighting LED Desk Lamp W/ 2.0A USB Port, and the Urban Star Men's Relaxed Fit Jean.

[@CelinaAnderson1227]

[@sarahwalker9665]

I have so many favorites to buy at Costco! We love the life jackets too, such great quality for the price. Diapers, dishwasher detergent, fruit snacks, frozen berries, the Kirkland baby wipes, all are on my list every trip. And the flowers at Costco can't be beat! Such great quality for the price over my Smith's store.

[@NessaSarry]

My favorite thing to buy is frozen fruit for smoothies. :)

[@okmaxwello]

I love your what to buy and what not to buy videos!!! Keep doing them!! Your knowledge of when case lot sales happen is amazing! I'd love to know how you keep track of that!!

[@jmgauvre]

I ALWAYS buy Costco TP and Detergent... QTIPS And ZIPLOC bags go on sale at least twice a year. WIPER BLADES while on sale!!

[@bdtyler4545]

I love Kirkland diapers and wipes. They may be slightly more expensive at times but their quality (especially the wipes) make it worth it to me. I also love buying the tortillas you cook yourself and of course the hot dog!!

[@juditbalogh21]

Why buy fruit snacks when you can buy fruit? Those things by the end of the processing usually don't contain any vitamins just sugar. Also with the soup..It's not that hard to cook, you never know what's in those cans.

[@TammyTravelsTheWorld]

AGREE! So much processed crap in these stores!

[@UnitedPebbles]

Mexican mercado usually have the best raw (dirty, dirty) organic(her backyard)fruits. Could be good for smoothies when matured?

[@tinajespersen7311]

The Kirkland dog food and cat food is great. The Kirkland microwave popcorn is good also. Avocados, cheese, water, Kirkland toilet tissue, clothing are just a few things I buy there. Thanks for the videos!

[@alyssaleonard514]

We do Sams Club instead of Costco (mostly because it's closer) would love to hear what you think of the differences between the two! I love to buy cheese at Sams and their gas is always the cheapest in town by at least 10 cents per gallon!

[@0925kerri]

john smith I agree. My Costco is staffed by employees generally over the age of 25. My sams is staffed by teenagers.

[@healing1000]

I work at costco as a cashier assistant and this is true. The management and supervisors are super nice as well. If I move on at some point I will always be a member.

[@5150TomG]

I can not and will not shop at Walmart or Sams. Their health insurance package is paid for by my tax dollars. I refuse to pay the high cost for the low price.

[@latintrader]

Alyssa Leonard sams club does not pay their employees a living wage nor do they provide healthcare

[@henryperez606]

Alyssa Leonard I have a membership at both You get a little bit more for your money at Costco on everything For instance the toilet paper may be exactly the same price but at Costco it’s a quarter of an inch wider Costco is always cleaner and they do pay their employees much better All the frozen vegetables at Costco are organic but they’re the same price as at Sam’s Club There are many examples like this

[@mtzv41]

I love Costco I shop there once a month and what I always get that's a must are kirkland baby wipes, green tea, eggs, ham, Dave's bread , and of course the chips in the blue box you mentioned in the video. Btw I love your videos they're very helpful, being a mom of two I definitely need tips on great deals.

[@mallory.fustos]

My favorite thing to get is gum but the hotdog at the food court

[@alidahoneybee]

I love buying rotisserie chicken and snacks but always leave with the more than I came to get. I'm one of those that get caught up with OMG we need that and that.. now we have two. But with your how to shop at Costco I will be on the details and know what to buy and what not to buy alert. Thank you very helpful

I love it when fruit snacks have a manufacturers rebate. Super good deal. Also popcorn and of course diapers when there is a rebate. 😊

[@leapintothewild]

I like to buy meat at Costco! NOTE: Please, please don't buy all those individual water bottles! All that plastic! Just invest in some good filter bottles instead. The only reason to buy all that plastic is when you're carting drinks for a soccer team or other outing. Just no excuse for all that plastic waste. :-(

[@fabarnett428]

Or if you live in a place that has terrible water quality and even a filter can't make it drinkable.

[@bryongliege8090]

Louisiana residents, this "NOTE" is not for you! Please continue to buy all they plastic bottles you need, even when there is no boil-ban. The risk of a brain eating ameba is not worth it. I told my mom, "we have water in the fridge." She thought I was saying just in case you don't want the tap water. WRONG!

[@anileaatje]

That doesn't mean you have to buy the small bottle. Least you can do IF you buy bottled water, is to buy the large ones with a few liters in them so that you are wasting less plastic...

[@chelseymorrow2819]

Or people can buy what they prefer.

[@LemonySnicket-EUC]

Recycle if you do

[@docbarium174]

First of all, we use a coupon book that comes almost every month with great deals. Raw almonds, pumpkin seeds and walnuts, dry cranberries, fresh baby spinach, cherry tomatoes (always look at the date) are less expensive there to buy, as well as bananas 🍌 organic or not, almond milk, European chocolate especially before Christmas, pastry for church etc. We like to buy tasty frozen fish patties (easy meal) and cooked chicken patties (for RV) and they are not fatty. Vegetable lasagna there is tasty and small enough for the RVs oven. Smb can make separate videos on the RV food, party food, food for lunches that is tasty yet saves you a lot of money. They like to change things around and if you want to save time and need smth in particular, just ask a manager and he/she will assist you.

Toilet paper (kirkland brand) and the pre-made mac&cheese!!!

My favorite thing about Costco is how much we get in a package I love big quality of foods for such as meal prepping 😊

I like to buy Trash bags lol such an adult item.

[@jenalee27]

I buy Olay body wash (When on coupon) eggs, bread, milk, eater bottles, cheese, laundry soap and usually a treat like Kirkland sea salt carmel macadamia chocolate thingys ! They are sooo good!

[@harveysandhu6262]

Costco price for brown sugar and soups and regular sugars are always the same and for most of the grocery prices are same I don't know about other people's but I really don't have that much time to do research that which grocery store is gonna have twice a year sale on sugar. So I find it very convenient to buy my stuff at Costco

[@BlondeReaganite]

Harvey Sandhu agreed!

[@TattiCatt]

This is super helpful! Please do a part 3 soon!! Also, i would love love love a video with different price points for items! I'm going back to take notes :D I usually just grab and go items that we like, but knowing the price points would be a great money saver!

[@spacecase8791]

I ALWAYS buy my meat from Costco. I think their chicken breasts are a great deal and I love the quality and convenience. I go at the beginning of the month and buy enough to cook throughout. Awesome video btw. I'm a Costco-aholic lol

[@amandaolivetti5482]

Casey Thompson yes! I love how the chicken breasts are individually wrapped and if I want to defrost just one or two I don't have to worry about having to separate them from other chicken breasts. I love Costco so much!

[@amberbarker8396]

Love these videos!! And I had no idea that grocery stores had regular/specific times of the year for sales on baking items and what not. Your knowledge is so incredible! Thanks for always sharing!! You're the best!! I love buying cheese, milk, diapers and wipes(when they go on sale) and gas from Costco!

My favorite thing to buy at Costco is the fruit snacks. They are my son's favorite and he could eat them all the time. So they are definitely the best price and biggest box for them!

[@lisaterreberry3739]

I understand what she is trying to go but it totally misses the boat becuase there is no mention of quality. Yes I will spend 20 cents more to buy something at Costco becuase the quality is so much better. Also, comparing organic to non organic items isn't a fair comparison for me. If your bottom line is money, you have tons of extra time to work as she does to save a few bucks, go for it. I didn't see anything here that would save more then $5 per week for me after I take out the items that don't account for quality differences.

[@Tammy-cu3nk]

Yes, compare apples to apples not apples to oranges for a more accurate account.

[@gluegunroses520]

TFS. My favorite thing to buy at Costco is actually from their concession area, hotdog and a soft drink are a great deal and yummy.

I love to buy rotisserie chicken and cheese at Costco!

[@susanbredehoft2308]

My three favorite things to buy at Costco is cheese (especially cheddar and mozzarella), milk and rotisserie chicken. Rotisserie chicken is the base to many of my easy q weeknight meals.

[@staciemj74]

I love Costco for my family of 5. I usually go every 2 weeks. Sorry, I can't possibly pick one favorite from there! 😜 My staples are Kirkland toilet paper, paper towels, waters, trash bags, dog food, Kerry gold butter, cheeses, spices, tortillas, milk, eggs, half & half, laundry & dish detergent, rotisserie chicken, frozen chicken breasts, big baking potatoes, sweet onions, avocados, bell peppers, blueberries...etc. I find their produce is always fresh & seems to last a while.

[@meganhrh]

What do we think of the executive membership? And how do I know if membership is worth it?

[@darkaqua88]

Megan Rasmussen I have executive membership. This will be my second year. After the first year we got back 55 bucks, which is half of the executive membership payment.... If you buy over a certain amount each year (I think about 3k to 4k a year, I don't recall my calculations), then you can essentially have the membership for free (I used my cash back check to pay for my membership).

[@kimmc3055]

We do the same thing. With three small kids, we were spending loads of money on diapers and wipes.(plus other essentials) The executive membership paid for itself! Plus, their Pekkle brand sleepers and jammies are great value for $.

[@smileytow1925]

Megan Rasmussen it really depends on how much you spend there. We have had the executive membership since they've been offering it. And we have always gotten more then the membership costs us.

[@untoldhistory89]

Essentially you pay an extra 60 bucks to be an executive member. If your rebate cheque you get back is over 60 bucks then it's worth it cause you made your money back and more. You need to spend 3000 a year to get 60 even. It also comes with a ton of other services like better rates on travel, vehicle rentals, discounts in mailer coupons, travel insurance, life and health insurance, express shipping from their online warehouse, and a bunch of other services. While Goldstar members also can use these extra services, executives will have a higher rate of savings, typically 5% or more depending on the services. Ultimately if you are saving more on these services then the extra 60 you are paying then again, its probably worth it. Some people may only receive a rebate of 45 dollars but saved 25 dollars or more through executive member exclusive coupons, and discounts on other services. Just ask your local warehouses membership desk about the full range of services as I imagine it varies from country to country and even place to place. At the end of the day Costco employees don't actually make commission off anything so they wont try to mislead you in any way, there wouldn't really be a point. Another great thing is that if you ever are executive and your rebate cheque is less than 60 dollars, they will refund the difference between whatever you got on your rebate and the 60 they guarantee...i.e. you get a cheque for 32.40 they will cash that cheque out for you (if you haven't used it) and give you 27.60. Meaning you get your full 60 dollars back (a portion from your rebate, and a portion returned at the time of downgrading). The only thing you need to watch out for, is they will only refund the difference IF the card has not expired or run out. So the easiest way to get the refund is to go in as soon as you receive your cheque. Keep in mind if you do ask for the refund, the account will be downgraded from an executive to the gold star so you will no longer receive any cashback, coupons, discounts on travel, or any of the perks with their additional services. And if you've read this far and haven't guessed, yes I'm a Costco employee haha I've worked in their membership department for three years at my local warehouse. Hope this answers your question!

[@jasonhannsz]

You only buy the executive membership once. If you only get $7 back you can take it in and they’ll make it half of the executive membership automatically. But once you get in the groove of stocking up and buying tires etc me and my wife in a small apartment (so we don’t have a lot of place for bulk) manage to almost pay our membership year after year.

[@erikaontiveros7876]

Hi Melea, thank you for the money Saving tips. Dog food is a really good deal and windshield wipers.

I would love another video! Paper towels are tricky. I'm brand loyal to bounty. I googled a picture that showed how the various sizes compare. It helps with decision making, but I usually prefer Target even when price per roll is pennies more because I don't have to pay as much up front.

She shows an 80 pack of 8 oz water bottles for a steal at $6.99. They have 16.9 oz 40 packs for $2.99 at all time. You do the math.

The best deal on water is to NOT buy it in a bottle.

We love buying the bags of spinach at. Costco. We freeze it and use it in our smoothies. One bag lasts all month for us.

Instead of paper towels use rags such as old t shirts and towels.

Laura Mroz - Dollar General has a 15 pack $10. Combine it with their Saturday coupon to save even more.

I use very little paper towel. I use face clothes on our table for napkins. It's only myself and hubby. We each has a color to use. I also have a hand towel which I put a loop on to hang by the sink. Dish cloth to wipe up spills, changed daily. You have to do a wash so throw them in with your towels. I find paper towels and bottle water a waste of money.

Amy fave at Costco is the 11.5 oz. V-8 juice & OTC vitamins & supplements. Love heir paper towels which I fold in quarters & use as napkins.

Bottled water= what a waste.

I love the long pork loin roast. I cut it and get 2 roasts out of the end sections and slice the middle section into pork chops.
