Costco Staples and Money Saving Tips by a Telugite in America

I am SO excited to finally share this comprehensive list of my favorite items from COSTCO!!! I have been getting a ton of questions on @usaloteluguammayi (My Instagram Page) asking me to share my costco haul and pantry staples since i posted costco video on youtube with all money saving tips. I’ve been going to COSTCO since I moved to the US & I have to say that its my absolute fav store to buy groceries and home related stuff. I go to Indian store only to get the things that costco doesn't sell(Indian vegetables & certain masala powders).

The list I’m sharing today are personal family favorites. Also, I’m always wanting to know about YOUR personal faves so if you have an item you swear by, please leave it in the comments for everyone else to see too!
