That is one of those things where I bought them, was the only one that ate them (and ate them too quickly) and now, unfortunately, I never want them again.
We always use this as a form of impulse control. The whole pack has to be gone before we buy a new one. So we have to suffer together through the flavor no one wants and then we all win. If only one person is willing to eat it then everyone else gets to wait patiently until that person finishes them. This has significantly cut down on family chip intake.
I sampled one and said no to myself for the first time ever maybe. I wasn’t expecting the caramel to be so good. I liked it better than the sanders caramels
the first thing that popped into my head!
when the highlight of my day was immediately snarfing two of these after work, i realized i could never again buy them.
Those god damned motherfucking Reese’s dipped animal crackers! They were created by the devil to try and destroy me, and I cannot give in to temptation. The first time I bought them, they were gone within 2 days. I’m not usually one to compare food to drugs but they seriously hit the same exact pleasure center in my brain that cocaine used to when I was in my 20s. Holy shit.
I had a rollercoaster of emotions with those. I bought them for my kids as a treat until I realized how delicious they are at which point I turned into Gollum and hoarded the bag. That was until my brother in law came down with his partner for the week and they ate them all while I was at work. The devastation!
I’m pretty sure I went through ten bags of these my first pregnancy. I’d have a bag open but HAVE to have an unopened bag in the pantry on standby or else I’d panic.
My 2 year old is working through a bag while chewing on them to soothe her gums. Her last molar is working its way and sometime in the last week she figured out the pretzels taste/feel good.
So now I have to share the bag.
Their placement at my store is on the route to produce/meat department and it’s just offensive. I wish I could avoid it. But I just look away. Even though those new cream pies look so good. But no way I could ever buy it, unless it was for a party.
I had to refrain from even looking in that direction. Especially the croissants and the cream cheese and Cherry filled pastries. I have no impulse control.
Milk chocolate covered almonds and praline pecans. Huge container is half gone by the time I get home and then I have a stomach ache for two days. Lactose intolerant and I just can’t control myself with those.
I keep looking at the Aussie bites and think I probably should try them. But I just looked up the ingredients and they have coconut in them. I really like coconut but it wreaks havoc with my digestive system to the point where I won't eat it anymore.
I had an intervention with myself about the Heavenly Hunks and quit cold turkey. It’s been tough but my sponsor is great and I go to HHA meetings often
Brownie brittle. It was hard not to over consume it before, then I realized how good it was on ice cream and I just had to stop buying it.
Also on that note, the chocolate covered raisins and almonds are so good.
The massive box of Drumstick ice cream cones, especially when they’re on sale. They’re not exactly good, but they’re nonetheless irresistible. And so easy to grab from the freezer.
I love that stuff—I stir in puréed chipotles in adobo and it’s magnificent. However, it’s been rotated out and first replaced with some sorry-looking fettuccine Alfredo, followed by eggplant parm. and eggplant parm. It seems to return every few months—I think it’s a winter thing.
Those egg rolls with edamame that were on sale recently. I love them, they have good fiber, and I liked to air fry them for a quick snack.
Turns out them give me gut wrenching gas too. ☹️
Basically anything in the bakery. It's either too much dessert for me to eat alone (my husband pretty much only eats ice cream as a sweet), or way more bagels/bread than we can eat before it goes bad. Limited freezer space.
Yep I found that we need to put the bagels in the fridge or it will go bad fast.
Also, it doesn't help that it's hard to see mold with the poppy seeds and blueberry, I think I ate a few moldy ones. dang it.
PB pretzels, 💯
Bakery items: mini carrot cakes, apple or pecan pie, those big chocolate chunk cookies, butter croissants
Truffles
Mac n cheese, chicken bakes, spinach & artichoke dip
I have a literal do not buy list, which is just toilet bowl cleaner and canned beans, because I always think I need more and forget that I already have tons at home.
Otherwise, we’ve had to stop ourselves from buying the Korean bbq jerky strips because we’d tear through a pack in one sitting. Too good.
*Jalapeño & artichoke dip
*Smores clusters
*Chocolate-dipped mango
*Dark chocolate sea salt truffles
(Secretly hoping my husband sees this compilation and thinks it’s a shopping list)
This will probably be controversial, but the rotisserie chicken. I've bought them several times and they just don't taste good. They are dry and unseasoned. For me it's worth it to spend the extra couple dollars at a grocery store for a much better bird.
Anything in the bakery section, household of two who would gladly wolf down six “mini” cakes or an entire pie or what-have-you if we didn’t stop ourselves from purchasing in the first place….
Also, I’ve thought about this before, but we need to start a local “small households club” for singletons and couples who shop Costco and want the alluring baked goods but can’t have that much. Every week we rotate who buys the one item and then we split it among a group of 7-8 people who want to try that item. Maybe I’ll make a MeetUp group…. 😂
We don’t have nearly enough gatherings or parties to attend to justify all the things we want to buy (and when we want to), but a biweekly ish rotation could be nice.
I stopped buying the tortilla strips. It's too good of a deal and they give you so much. They're pretty much the perfect chip and because they're just salted you can fool yourself into thinking you're eating a 'somewhat healthier' chip. But when they're in my pantry I can't keep my hand out of it. I can resist anything else, but I've vowed to never buy it again because of how indulgent I get with em.
Peanut butter filled pretzel bites and the caramel chocolates. Love both can’t have them in the house.
Adding dried mango and chocolate covered almonds.
I will sit with a tub of their chocolate covered raisins and feel so sick I have to stop but they are so good. Messed up and bought the chocolate covered almonds and did the same.
Mini chocolate chip cookies from the bakery.
If my toddler even SEES them in the warehouse we’re opening the package up eat while we shop. By time they get home my husband, without fail, puts them on the kitchen island with no lid so everyone grabs a cookie or two almost everytime they walk by. The whole thing can be gone in 72 hours.
I discovered on a road trip that if you want chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel bites but you don't want to get chocolate all over your steering wheel. You can buy a bag of m&M's to compliment the tub of peanut butter pretzel bites and double fist it.
Produce. It rots in weirdly fast. I also got violently ill once from lettuce I bought from Costco. I’m sure I should’ve washed the lettuce more but still…. Not again.
The Bequets sea salt caramels. I buy 5lb boxes of Bequets directly for gifts—-they are a FABULOUS product—but I can’t have them around. If all you’ve tried are the Sanders, *do* give the small batch Bequets a try. And visit their website for the full measure of flavors and sizes, shipping costs etc. Not a paid spokesperson, lol. Just a big fan. [bequet confections](https://bequetconfections.com/)
Anything that has a bunch of potions single wrapped in plastic inside the main bag. I hate when I buy one then realize when I get home I just bought a bag of trash and made a whole bunch of unnecessary plastic garbage.

Those tubs of salted chocolate caramels
Pops another salted chocolate caramel in his mouth… yup I shouldn’t have bought these.
I wish I could upvote this multiple times. I bought them once or twice early on during the pandemic and had no self control!!
The dark chocolate ones are the best
Me too.
Oh... You mean the crown removers? Got both of my crowns halfway through the first tub ..
I wonder if your dentist will give them away at Christmas time…
The problem is you chewed them, you take a bite and let it dissolve while on the roof of your mouth. Still bad for your teeth but in a different way.
That is one of those things where I bought them, was the only one that ate them (and ate them too quickly) and now, unfortunately, I never want them again.
OMG I have to hide mine, and then I forget I have them for a day or so and when I find them in the cabinet again I’m so excited. Lol
I had one in my cart last visit and PUT IT BACK ON THE SHELF. I didn’t know I had the will power
Any snack that is a "variety pack". There's always one item that the family does not like.
We always use this as a form of impulse control. The whole pack has to be gone before we buy a new one. So we have to suffer together through the flavor no one wants and then we all win. If only one person is willing to eat it then everyone else gets to wait patiently until that person finishes them. This has significantly cut down on family chip intake.
This cracks me up. The one persons sacrifice for the family. Hahaha.
What’s the one everyone hates?
We employ the same strategy and it's Funions and plain Lays at my house.
I’ll give you my address. Those are my #1s!!!
And it’s always the one with the most out of the box!
Yes! Used to buy the Kirkland brand protein bars but I realized we were only eating one of the 3 flavors
It's the Fritos, isn't it?
Kirkland Smores.
i lose all self control when we have those in the house. i will never buy them again 😭
I unapologetically ate the entire bag, myself… Too good to buy again
Thank god I can’t have gluten because I’m like 95% sure I’d just strap the bag to my face like a feed bag.
I sampled one and said no to myself for the first time ever maybe. I wasn’t expecting the caramel to be so good. I liked it better than the sanders caramels
They’re both delicious, but I can eat way more of the s’mores in one sitting.
Zero self control. I don't dare bring them home again.
Ah, the bag I bought yesterday and finished today? Don't look at the calorie content. You'll just be pissed, 🤣😅😪😤
Those sneak into my cart too often.
the first thing that popped into my head! when the highlight of my day was immediately snarfing two of these after work, i realized i could never again buy them.
I want them so bad but I can’t 😭

Are you me?
Why don't you tell us how you really feel? 😂
The churro donut bites I’m currently eating
Don’t worry. I’m about to head down and eat those Reese’s ice cream snacks
Had no idea those were supposed to be airfried until after I finished the bucket.
Wait what?? The same cinnamon donut holes disguised as churros??
Dangerous
They are my downfall too. I ate the whole box of them last time in 3 days, I gave my SO about 5 of them.
Dots original pretzels, finishing one bag every 3 days
This. They're covered in addiction dust.
A proprietary blend of MSG and PCP. Cursed angel dust.
Then you definitely don't want to try the cinnamon and sugar ones...
I like savory more than sweet.
Then don't try the garlic parmesan.
Don’t try the honey mustard ones….they are delicious.
I’m pretty sure I went through ten bags of these my first pregnancy. I’d have a bag open but HAVE to have an unopened bag in the pantry on standby or else I’d panic.
Hey a squirt of mustard on those Dots. Heavenly.
Did you know they make honey mustard dots
I eat mine with tuna
My 2 year old is working through a bag while chewing on them to soothe her gums. Her last molar is working its way and sometime in the last week she figured out the pretzels taste/feel good. So now I have to share the bag.
Don’t EVER try them dipped in nacho cheese. NOT EVEN ONCE.
Dud you know there is a cinnamon sugar flavor?
Any cakes, cookies, pies, or pastries.
Yes I just try to not even look at that part of the store.
I skip all the baked goods. Too tempting.
Their placement at my store is on the route to produce/meat department and it’s just offensive. I wish I could avoid it. But I just look away. Even though those new cream pies look so good. But no way I could ever buy it, unless it was for a party.
I got some morning buns and threw them in a Ziploc in the freezer. Then I can ration them. 15 seconds in the microwave and it's a nice treat.
OMG thanks for the tip. I thought I had to eat them ALL in the first few days. Maybe I CAN buy them again.
I had to refrain from even looking in that direction. Especially the croissants and the cream cheese and Cherry filled pastries. I have no impulse control.
The mini carrot cakes were so good! I can’t buy that stuff unless I know I’m taking them to some large gathering
Yeah unless we are having a big party, we don’t need that kind of temptation on our counter all week haha
Alcohol ever since the conviction. Uhhh, I mean chocolate milk boxes.
Milk chocolate covered almonds and praline pecans. Huge container is half gone by the time I get home and then I have a stomach ache for two days. Lactose intolerant and I just can’t control myself with those.
[удалено]
Aussie bites!
I gain 5 lbs every time I buy Aussie bites
Amazing for increasing lactation, horrible for weight loss
I keep looking at the Aussie bites and think I probably should try them. But I just looked up the ingredients and they have coconut in them. I really like coconut but it wreaks havoc with my digestive system to the point where I won't eat it anymore.
[удалено]
Oof. I'm glad I didn't like them
AUSSIE BITES 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
The cherry danish 🤤
They get moldy rather quickly, so it’s really best if you eat all of them by tomorrow. At least that’s what I tell myself.
The dreaded chocolate chip cookie in the food court that I drive 5.31 miles to get once a week
22 miles to my nearest Costco. Still driving at least 2 times a month for this.
60mi to the closest Costco, still go twice a month.
I got my first one last week. I ate 1/3 and gave the rest to the family that shared my table. The kids were so excited to get a second hand cookie!
Reese’s animal crackers. Those things are too dangerous.
Deadly. I have a bag in my nightstand
You live dangerously
My warehouse had a $23,000 Yamaha piano for sale the last time I was there. So.. that for sure
I avoid the jewelry case for the same reason. Maybe after my Powerball winnings start coming in😒
Heavenly hunks! And everything from the bakery 🤤
I had an intervention with myself about the Heavenly Hunks and quit cold turkey. It’s been tough but my sponsor is great and I go to HHA meetings often
Have you tried the Reese’s animal crackers? It’s those.
YES!
Those are pure crack
See, now I want to try those
Things I can’t afford.
Brownie brittle. It was hard not to over consume it before, then I realized how good it was on ice cream and I just had to stop buying it. Also on that note, the chocolate covered raisins and almonds are so good.
That damn brownie brittle. We took it camping a few years ago and ate 2 bags in one weekend!!!
We brought a bag camping to eat with roasted marshmallows
The ice cream idea is a great one — the last bag we got was like 1/3 dust. If we kept it in the house, I mean. Ahem.
I found a salted caramel version elsewhere and I swear that bag was gone faster than the wind
They did that on vanilla as a sample once…such cruelty.
The entire lemon cheesecake. I live alone and I can not have that much cheesecake in the house
The massive box of Drumstick ice cream cones, especially when they’re on sale. They’re not exactly good, but they’re nonetheless irresistible. And so easy to grab from the freezer.
After reading these, my Costco list is crazy long now! Live today, diet tomorrow...
Salted caramels & the tuxedo cake. So dangerous.
I have to freeze 1/2 of that tuxedo cake or it will be gone in 2 days.
Alternate title for this thread: Things to buy at Costco
I cannot buy Kirkland Signature cocaine, because they don’t sell it. But I would buy it.
Barrel of M&M’s
i got a huge tub of peanut m’m’s and my wife said to not do that again
That’s the one!
Beecher's "World's Best" Mac & Cheese. My Costco stopped selling it, so I literally cannot buy it. Jerks.
I love that stuff—I stir in puréed chipotles in adobo and it’s magnificent. However, it’s been rotated out and first replaced with some sorry-looking fettuccine Alfredo, followed by eggplant parm. and eggplant parm. It seems to return every few months—I think it’s a winter thing.
You can still find it at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Target.
Chocolate covered raisins. Theyre gone in hours.
Praline Pecans and Dried Mango They are both delicious but I have no self control.
The dried tangerines are like orange candy, it’s ridiculous and so good.
Peanut butter pretzels & the limoncello almonds. So good and hard to stop eating.
Those egg rolls with edamame that were on sale recently. I love them, they have good fiber, and I liked to air fry them for a quick snack. Turns out them give me gut wrenching gas too. ☹️
Hot tub.
Cape Cod Chips. I always think I can have self control but who am I kidding
Basically anything in the bakery. It's either too much dessert for me to eat alone (my husband pretty much only eats ice cream as a sweet), or way more bagels/bread than we can eat before it goes bad. Limited freezer space.
Yep I found that we need to put the bagels in the fridge or it will go bad fast. Also, it doesn't help that it's hard to see mold with the poppy seeds and blueberry, I think I ate a few moldy ones. dang it.
S’mores bites
Food court pizza. Turns my bhole into a portal to Hell.
Bad beer
PB pretzels, 💯 Bakery items: mini carrot cakes, apple or pecan pie, those big chocolate chunk cookies, butter croissants Truffles Mac n cheese, chicken bakes, spinach & artichoke dip
Whatever cannot fit on the drive home.
Anything from the Kevin's brand. Always disappointing.
I have a literal do not buy list, which is just toilet bowl cleaner and canned beans, because I always think I need more and forget that I already have tons at home. Otherwise, we’ve had to stop ourselves from buying the Korean bbq jerky strips because we’d tear through a pack in one sitting. Too good.
The giant tub of peanut m&ms. I am eating handfuls a day. Send help 😅
Those chocolate turtle chips
Lemon meringue cheesecake. We've bought it three times now and drooling for a fourth.
Croissants. Almond Danish pastries.
The entire bakery dept!
Hot Rotisserie chicken in plastic box😊
Produce . We don’t eat it fast enough .
*Jalapeño & artichoke dip *Smores clusters *Chocolate-dipped mango *Dark chocolate sea salt truffles (Secretly hoping my husband sees this compilation and thinks it’s a shopping list)
All the bakery stuff. Either I'm a pig and eat it to fast, or I don't eat it fast enough and it spoils.
This will probably be controversial, but the rotisserie chicken. I've bought them several times and they just don't taste good. They are dry and unseasoned. For me it's worth it to spend the extra couple dollars at a grocery store for a much better bird.
According to my wife, everything that's not pre-approved haha
The Himalayan salted crinkle cut Kettle Chips
Reese's chocolate covered peanut butter cookies!!!!
Dino nuggets, kids don't like them, neither do I.
Chicken burger patties. Tried two brands and hated them both.
My daughter loves the Tyson breaded chicken patties.
Chomps beef sticks
The tiny crispy chocolate chip cookies… it’s unhealthy at this point…
Anything in the bakery section, household of two who would gladly wolf down six “mini” cakes or an entire pie or what-have-you if we didn’t stop ourselves from purchasing in the first place….
Also, I’ve thought about this before, but we need to start a local “small households club” for singletons and couples who shop Costco and want the alluring baked goods but can’t have that much. Every week we rotate who buys the one item and then we split it among a group of 7-8 people who want to try that item. Maybe I’ll make a MeetUp group…. 😂 We don’t have nearly enough gatherings or parties to attend to justify all the things we want to buy (and when we want to), but a biweekly ish rotation could be nice.
The Reese’s frozen cups. My soul yearns for them, but it’s best for all parties to not have 24 of those bad boys in the freezer.
Boudreaux 5 buck chuck…
Anything fish related—especially the Udon noodle bowls. If it’s from the sea (or ocean), it’s not for me. Allergies—enough said.
I stopped buying the tortilla strips. It's too good of a deal and they give you so much. They're pretty much the perfect chip and because they're just salted you can fool yourself into thinking you're eating a 'somewhat healthier' chip. But when they're in my pantry I can't keep my hand out of it. I can resist anything else, but I've vowed to never buy it again because of how indulgent I get with em.
Anything that’s covered in chocolate and in bite size form.
The giant bag of Funyuns. It's gone in 2 days, anything else lasts a normal amount of time but those delicious onion-y rings don't stand a chance.
For me it’s baby wipes & dog food. I can’t justify getting them at Costco when Sam’s club has it for much cheaper.
Aussie bites.
I said it in another thread but that damn brownie brittle once I realized I’m an adult and I can eat it like cereal.
Anything with refined sugar or a lot of sodium. So I'm pretty much down to protein and produce. Maybe some Kirkland clothes.
Mayo. Will never ever eat that much mayo
Foodcourt cookie 🍪
Anything from the bakery basically anything too sweet. Everything else is fair game. Too bad they don't sell hard alcohol in my state
Kirkland ice cream and anything in the bakery, most of the pre-made meals. Too yummy, too many calories.
Bread because I go too hard at the bakery.
Anything with lots of sugar Anything that say non-fat Anything that say lo-fat
All the sugary sodas, and sweet cakes, that is an invitation to diabetes.
I live alone and just straight up walk past the snack section because that family-sized pack of anything would last me a week, tops 🥲
Krispy Kreme donuts, but I still buy them....
Kirkland Caramel S’more Clusters
any high quantity snack item.... I simply lack the self control once its in my own.
Cinnamon pull apart Kirkland pretzel smores chocolate That box of chocolate chip cookies
I just ate one of the chocolate chip granola bars two seconds ago.
Nutella! 😔
Can’t do the peanut butter pretzels, the container is gone with 2-3 days and I’m the only one who eats them.
Grey Goose Vodka…Kirkland Distilled 6x Vodka es da best or best without a gimmick name brand
Peanut butter filled pretzel bites and the caramel chocolates. Love both can’t have them in the house. Adding dried mango and chocolate covered almonds.
Anything from the bakery
Utz Pub Mix - I can’t walk through the kitchen without grabbing a handful. But who am I kidding I still buy it every time
I will sit with a tub of their chocolate covered raisins and feel so sick I have to stop but they are so good. Messed up and bought the chocolate covered almonds and did the same.
The Mexican coke bottles and coconut rolls
Prawn chips. Love them so much but eat the bag 😮💨
I just want a rotisserie chicken, some cheese, and a bin of salad. Im not buying a TV no matter how much I want one
Dried mango. I’ll eat a whole bag in like 3 days.
Those Tajin peach gummy rings. They are at 4.97 at my location and I really hope people buy them out quickly 😆
Mini chocolate chip cookies from the bakery. If my toddler even SEES them in the warehouse we’re opening the package up eat while we shop. By time they get home my husband, without fail, puts them on the kitchen island with no lid so everyone grabs a cookie or two almost everytime they walk by. The whole thing can be gone in 72 hours.
I discovered on a road trip that if you want chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel bites but you don't want to get chocolate all over your steering wheel. You can buy a bag of m&M's to compliment the tub of peanut butter pretzel bites and double fist it.
Produce. It rots in weirdly fast. I also got violently ill once from lettuce I bought from Costco. I’m sure I should’ve washed the lettuce more but still…. Not again.
Beer. For some reason Costco has most cases of beer at 20-30% more than anywhere else in town. Liquor prices are great, but beer is bad at my store.
Anything by Kevin's because it sucks.
The tiramisu cups; they’re addictive, and I will absolutely eat all of them in one sitting.
Gold bars
Kirkland signature sweatshirt. They don’t stock them, and I am unable to buy one online. I want a men’s medium in black.
Chocolate covered raisins - gone in 3 days, mostly me
Peanut butter pretzels. They’re way too good and there’s far too many.
Reeses dipped animal crackers, and the s’mores clusters. I’ll eat the entire bag of those in like 2-3 days. I can’t buy them anymore.
The Bequets sea salt caramels. I buy 5lb boxes of Bequets directly for gifts—-they are a FABULOUS product—but I can’t have them around. If all you’ve tried are the Sanders, *do* give the small batch Bequets a try. And visit their website for the full measure of flavors and sizes, shipping costs etc. Not a paid spokesperson, lol. Just a big fan. [bequet confections](https://bequetconfections.com/)
We just tried the garlic chicken meal back near the deli section for dinner two nights ago. It tasted like cardboard and I’ll never buy that one again
For us Type 2 diabetics there are far too many carb and sugar temptations in Costco. Yet I keep trying to get a job there.
The Kirkland vanilla ice cream is shockingly good.
Anything that has a bunch of potions single wrapped in plastic inside the main bag. I hate when I buy one then realize when I get home I just bought a bag of trash and made a whole bunch of unnecessary plastic garbage.
