I save money by sharing a Costco membership with my dad.
Christina Schillizzi
I frequently shop at Costco and share a membership with my dad.
My boyfriend and I like to split grocery items like the Skippy creamy peanut butter.
When I need an easy breakfast, I reach for the Kodiak Power Cakes flapjack-and-waffle mix.
Many people say Costco is best for shoppers with big families. However, I think it's a great place for anyone to stretch a dollar and maximize a shopping trip — which is why I convinced my dad to get a Costco membership for us to share.
Years later, I still don't pay for the membership, and I visit the store with my boyfriend almost weekly. We don't live together, so we love finding new Costco items to stock up on, freeze, or share.
The Kirkland Signature artichoke hearts are delicious by themselves or in a dip.The Kirkland Signature artichoke hearts make a great snack.
Christina Schillizzi
I love warm, creamy artichoke dip, and these marinated hearts are perfect for the job. They're also amazing on their own, in a salad, or served with a sprinkle of salt for a low-calorie snack.
The Kirkland Signature artichoke hearts come in a set of two large jars, so they're perfect for splitting between households.
The Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken lives up to the hype.I like to eat the Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken plain or use it in a meal.
Christina Schillizzi
The Kirkland Signature rotisserie chicken is one of the store's most famous items, and for good reason. It's well-seasoned and can feed one person for a week or serve as a meal for a family of four.
I like to pinch off a chunk of leg meat with skin and dip it into the juice at the bottom of the bag for a quick snack. I also make a delicious chicken salad with the meat and use the bones for broth.
If I can't finish a whole bird, I cut it up and freeze it for later.
I use the Kodiak Power Cakes flapjack-and-waffle mix to make a tasty breakfast.I like that the Kodiak Power Cakes flapjack-and-waffle mix has lots of protein.
Christina Schillizzi
When I want a flavorful pancake without added calories from butter and syrup, I reach for the Kodiak Power Cakes flapjack-and-waffle mix.
This mix has a whopping 14 grams of protein per serving and is made with 100% whole grains, so it's nutritious and tastes good. I also love adding vanilla extract and oat milk for an extra punch of flavor.
The mix is packaged into three easy-to-store bags, so I distribute them among the family.
The Kirkland Signature salted grass-fed butter feels high-quality.I use the Kirkland Signature salted grass-fed butter in cookies and other recipes.
Christina Schillizzi
The Kirkland Signature salted grass-fed butter is made with just two ingredients: cream and salt.
I find it has a creamier consistency and tastes saltier than other versions I've had, so I use less butter than I normally would when I cook. I enjoy it on fresh, crusty bread or in brown-butter chocolate-chip cookies.
If you're looking for a delicious cheese, check out the Kirkland Signature Parmigiano-Reggiano.The Kirkland Signature Parmigiano-Reggiano is perfect on a charcuterie board or by itself.
Christina Schillizzi
The Kirkland Signature Parmigiano-Reggiano is both delicious and versatile. I like to grate some on top of pasta or add it to a charcuterie board with fig or apricot jam and green or kalamata olives.
I absolutely love the Kirkland Signature organic 1% low-fat milk.The Kirkland Signature organic 1% low-fat milk comes with three cartons.
Christina Schillizzi
One of my greatest challenges is finding milk that lasts beyond a week once it's opened and tastes good — to me, some brands are a little too watery.
The best part about the Kirkland Signature organic milk is that its expiration date exceeds that of other dairy products I've tried. For example, the milk I bought at the beginning of November didn't expire until the start of January.
The Kirkland Signature super-premium vanilla ice cream is rich and creamy.I drizzle the Kirkland Signature super-premium vanilla ice cream with either chocolate syrup or balsamic vinegar.
Christina Schillizzi
There's nothing like good-quality vanilla ice cream, and the Kirkland Signature brand is my favorite store-bought version.
This dessert is creamy, full of vanilla flavor, and doesn't have those weird crunchy ice crystals that some brands tend to have. I usually enjoy it with chocolate syrup, though I occasionally go rogue and drizzle balsamic vinegar on top.
The Kirkland Signature ice cream comes in a two-pack, making it necessary but difficult to hand a carton off to a family member or friend.
I recently started buying Annie's organic mac and cheese variety pack.Each flavor in Annie's organic mac and cheese variety pack tastes delicious.
Christina Schillizzi
I don't typically seek out organic products, so I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked up the Annie's mac and cheese variety pack. However, this is hands down the creamiest, cheesiest boxed brand I've tried.
Each 12-pack comes with three flavors, including classic-, white-, and aged-cheddar variations. I make this mac and cheese with Kerrygold butter and Kirkland Signature milk to ensure maximum sauce creaminess.
I like to add the Kirkland Signature smoked salmon to my morning bagels.The Kirkland Signature smoked salmon is delicious with lemon, capers, and other bagel toppings.
Christina Schillizzi
I used to get a bagel and schmear with salmon every Sunday morning, but with this Kirkland Signature smoked fish, I can throw a sandwich together whenever I want.
It takes just a few minutes to prepare — I squeeze lemon on the salmon and then stack capers, red onion, a boiled egg, and tomato on a bagel with cream cheese.
This salmon comes in a two-pack, so I can keep one portion in the fridge and freeze the other for later.
The Skippy creamy peanut-butter twin pack is the unsung hero of my pantry.I keep one jar of Skippy creamy peanut butter and give the other to my boyfriend.
Christina Schillizzi
These huge jars of Skippy peanut butter — weighing 3 pounds each — seem to last forever.
I pair it with a healthy scoop of grape jelly and spread it on plain white bread. I've also mastered a peanut-butter-and-jelly smoothie, and I love to swirl a spoonful of the spread with yogurt and fruit for breakfast.
One jar goes a long way, so I like to send the other container home with my boyfriend.
