The regular items we like are...
Toilet paper KS (Kirkland Signature)
Paper towels KS
Starbucks houseblend KS - 2 lbs for $10...wow!
Razor blades - Mach 3
Dial Soap
Books
Diapers KS
Wipes KS
Other items we have found we like are...
Spinach and mozzarella ravioli
Lasagna KS
Juices
Sushi - new and improved now
I could go on but I'll wait to see what other people enjoy buying. They also have great deals on seasonal products.
I noticed they are selling makeup and was wondering if anyone has tried it. What did you think?

Cute kiddie clothes sometimes
Beef Jerky
Flats of applesauce
Big boxes of fish crackers
The berry or mocha freezes at the snack bar
Organic bean and cheese burritos
Dinosaur chicken nuggets
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I could think of for now......

Sheet Protectors ~ I use these for the packets I put together for my clients. A box of 200 at Costco is $8.99; two boxes of 100 at Office Depot (IF I buy a minimum of three to get the lowest rate) costs $14.58.
Large Cans of Tomatoes/Portabella Mushrooms/Italian Sausages ~ for making pasta sauce.
Kirkland Balsamic Vinegar ~ Actually quite good. I don't care for the Kirkland Olive Oil, so I still buy Bertoli elsewhere.
Romaine Lettuce/Spinach Salad/Broccoli Flowerettes~ Can't beat the deals.
Aidelle's Sausages ~ These chicken-based sausages (chicken & mango, chicken & sundried tomato, etc.) are great. My only, and continued, disappointment is that Costco doesn't carry Aidelle's Andouille sausage, so I have to buy it elsewhere at regular store prices.
Cheese, Yogurt, Butter, Eggs ~ Again, unbelievable deals.
Ciabatta Bread ~ MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Besides the fact that I swear I got pantry moths from buying boxed food at Costco, the only problem is that Costco has such cool stuff that I always end up blowing my "money saved" on things I never knew I couldn't live without.

I love the large tubs of hummus and the tubs of feta cheese. Chicken tamales. Coffee, too, but only if you plow through it like I do before it gets too stale. Large boxes of veggie burgers are quite a deal. Wine! Also the best place to go when you need to stock up for a big party.

Have you ever made your own Hummus? If not and you want to try it, check out my recipe: http://www.tomatopag...topic=7586&st=0
I have to say I'm pretty good about not buying things at Costco I don't really need. I tend to stay away from the aisles containing things not on my list unless I'm in the market for a gift or something.
Oh, another great buy: picture frames. Costco always has some nice ones; they make great gifts.

I make my own hummus often, but love the convienence of the big tub, esp. handy when I'm having people over.
You have a much stronger resolve than I do!

Na, I just haven't tasted a hummus I like as much as mine. It's really not difficult-- takes no more than five minutes to whip up.
Batteries! More than you'll ever need in one simple package!
Yep, batteries! Great deal.

Yes, she's quite nice. I think she was sampling the lemon cake today. We went because I wanted to show my husband the tools and see if he wanted any and they had quite the samples today. They had all the manly food-steak, meat balls, sushi (lots), nuts, jelly beans, lemon cake, drink mix...gosh, so much.
They also had very small samples of the makeup. It was just a sheet with a peel-off and a minimal amount under but it was nice to see what they had.
Gas!!!!! Batteries!!!! How did I forget those.
