Shopping at Costco for two people is a breeze with this handy shopping list! There are plenty of items at Costco that are perfect for small households and this shopping list has over fifty items that will make your membership worthwhile.
You won’t need to buy all of these items on every trip as some purchases will last you for a month or more.
Let’s jump in and get your shopping list ready!
Things to Avoid
- Fresh produce
- Fresh meat
- Dairy and Eggs
- Large bags of chips
- Bulk grains
I usually skip the fresh produce, dairy, eggs and chips as the container sizes are too large for us to use before the products go bad. If you have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer, and some extra freezer space, then the fresh meats can be a good deal.
