I shop at Costco for myself and my parents. Here are 7 items I swear by.

I like to keep my breakfast simple, light, and nutritious.

When I'm not in a rush, my favorite meal to have is avocado toast on whole-wheat bread.

When I shop at Costco, I know I'm getting high-quality produce at a great price.

I like to meal prep for the week ahead, and House Foods organic tofu is one of my go-to ingredients for creating a nutrient-dense meal.

Many recipes incorporate tofu as an alternative to meat, especially for lunch.

I like to make tofu with garbanzo beans and season it with plenty of spices. I usually eat it as a salad alongside other vegetables.

When I take a trip to Costco, I always purchase the Kirkland Signature wild sockeye-salmon filet.

It's the perfect meal for dinner, and I like to use the leftovers to make a salmon bowl for lunch.

After a long day at work, I sometimes don't feel like making a big, complicated meal for dinner.

Instead, I'll whip out a package of the Kirkland Signature organic spinach-and-cheese ravioli and make a quick sauce to go along with it.

I'm also a big cheese lover, so ravioli is the perfect way to satisfy my cravings.

Rather than spending money on egg bites from Starbucks, I've started buying the Veggies Made Great spinach-and-egg-white frittatas at Costco.

The egg-white bites are easy to make in the microwave or air fryer.

The frittatas also include tomato, red bell pepper, onion, and a hint of cheese for flavor.

Ghee, or clarified butter, is an important staple in South Asian dishes.

Typically, we had to buy small bottles of ghee at the local South Asian grocery store. However, I've made the switch to Costco since they've started carrying Ancient Organics ghee.

Ghee is an important element in dishes like biryani, and its distinct flavor and smell always transport me back to my childhood.

At the end of a long day, I typically crave something sweet. One of my go-to snacks has always been Pocky.

These cream-coated biscuit sticks are light, satisfying, and perfect for when you're out and about or unwinding after a busy day.

I've been a fan of the classic chocolate-cream Pocky since I was younger, but am also obsessed with the cookies-and-cream and strawberry-cream flavors.
