10 Costco Foods I Stock Up On for Winter (And 5 I Never Touch)

Your Costco cart probably has the wrong things in it for winter. The biggest package isn't always the best deal, and a three-liter bottle of olive oil that goes stale by spring is no bargain. In this video, Catherine shares the 10 Costco foods she stocks up on every fall: sugar, jasmine rice, flour, canned chicken, frozen vegetables, frozen berries, nuts, chicken breasts, coffee and butter. For each one you'll hear the 2026 price range, how it compares with the national average, how long it really keeps, and the storage mistake that wastes the bulk size. Plus the 5 Costco foods she never stocks up on: the giant olive oil, big spice tubs, oversized fresh produce, the pre-portioned ground beef five-pack and the five-dozen flat of eggs. Prices vary by warehouse and change often. Always check the unit price on the shelf tag.
