8 Costco Items Your Home Should Never Be Without
There are many types of consumers shopping at Costco. Among them: Parents with large families, bulk deal seekers, doomsday stock shoppers and people who just want a $1.50 hot dog combo.
No matter where you fall on this spectrum, few can argue the $60 annual membership isn’t worth the cost. Beyond just deals on food and household items, you benefit with car and travel perks, pharmacy discounts and even more economical gas.

While some may only shop at Costco once a month (all those bulk goods may not run out before then), there are some that go weekly. Either way, here are several items at the warehouse you might want to keep stocked at all times.
Toilet Paper
Price: $24.99
As we found out during the pandemic, good old-fashioned toilet paper is a huge commodity you never want to run out of, in good times or bad. If you have a big family, you know how quick those rolls can go. Costco has great deals on TP, as well as Kleenex and other bathroom essentials. Stock up with house brand Kirkland’s 30-roll mega pack of 2-ply sheets for $24.99.
Hint Bottled Water
Price: $16.99
Drinking the recommended eight glasses a day of water is so much more enjoyable when you do it with Hint. The lightly-flavored bottled water quenches thirst and keeps you hydrated every day with added great taste. A 15-count variety pack from Costco includes watermelon, blackberry and pineapple flavors.
Protein Bars
Price: $49.99
Whether you’re starting off the New Year with more resolutions to work out and need some fuel — or just want to prevent hunger attacks in your house — protein bars are a great food to keep on hand at all times. Costco sells a 24-count variety box of G2G bars in peanut butter, chocolate and coconut flavors for $49.99.
Olive Oil
Price: $20.99
Olive oil is the duct tape of household cooking. It’s great for sauteeing vegetables, drizzling over bread and salads, lining pans and even has beauty uses — so you won’t want to run out of it. Keep a healthy supply with 2-liter bottles of Kirkland Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Baguettes
Costco bakery goods are a real slice of heaven. There are full TikTok accounts devoted to these treasures that are loved for their high quality, great taste and length of freshness. For a baked good, you might want to stock up on, go for their extra long French baguettes: great for sandwiches, toast, breakfast treats like French toast and so much more.
Cat Litter
Price: $20.69
There’s never too much cat litter in a house with one feline or five. When it comes to pet essentials, this is one of the big ones you really don’t want to run out of. Stock up at Costco with a 42-pound box of Scoop Away Scented Litter for about $20.
Pickles
Price: $11.99
Crisp and crunchy, pickles are great with a sandwich, salad or just as a snack. Costco helps you keep them on hand for every occasion with this cold and frozen box of individually wrapped Dilly Bites. Each bag is freshly packed without messy brine and has several bites-worth to enjoy.
Heinz Ketchup
Price: $13.99
If you have kids at home, you know they want ketchup on nearly everything: chicken nuggets, fries — perhaps even pasta. Rather than judge, you may want to oblige to keep the peace with this 3-pack from Heinz.
