Sweet Potatoes: $3.79
Sweet potatoes are on almost every nutritionist’s must-eat list.
The fibrous-root veggies can last up to three months if stored in the fridge.
Ella Moss Cardigan: $5
Costco is a great place to shop for bargain clothes.

I was surprised to find this Ella Moss cardigan for just $5 in the clothing section.
1.5 pounds for $4.39.
For two pounds of precooked chicken, that is a total steal.

Just one baguette is about $5 at most bakeries.
At Costco, you get two for $4.99.
Insider tip: Many Costo shoppers slice these up and freeze them so they can be enjoyed later.

Right now, 24 ounces of white mushrooms costs $3.59.
We also saw Baby Bella mushrooms for under $5.
Six lettuce heads for just $4.39?

Who can pass up a produce buy like that?
This one-pound container costs $4.29 and can be used for salads, sauteeing, and smoothie making.
Kirkland Water: $3.99
Another must-buy item at Costco I saw in almost everyone’s cart?
Leah Groth
40 bottles of Kirkland Signature purified water for $3.99.
If you do the math, that is just 0.10 cents a bottle.
However, you could stock up for $4.94 a gallon at Costco.

While Costco milk usually lasts long, my mom always buys and freezes a few.
These can also be frozen and eaten as frozen yogurt or thawed later.
Bananas: $1.49
If you are a smoothie drinker, head to Costco weekly for bananas.
Leah Groth
Like Air Organic Cinnamon Bun Puffcorn, currently $3.99 for 14 ounces.
