Ann Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Double stuffed jalapeno garlic olives! YUM!! V-8 (although I've learned that I need to be careful with V-8 because it might be displacing some of the veggies on my plate) Organic whole chicken, organic ground beef Organic extra virgin olive oil, and organic coconut oil (Nutiva) Lots of great produce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebe_J Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 My Costco has very good meat, though not necessarily grass fed, organic. Kirkland brand Marinara sauce is compliant and better than I can make from scratch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted January 8, 2015 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2015 Rebe_J, I completely agree on the Kirkland marinara! I would never make my own when that one is so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmdchuckles Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Wilson organic hard boiled eggs, come packaged in 2 and prepeeled. I nearly threw a tantrum when they were missing from our costco during our pre whole 30 stock up. Let me tell you, peeling eggs for 4 sucks.

tulipgirl6 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 thanks I never realized the kirkland marinara doesn't have sugar in it; even pre-whole 30 I don't buy products with sugar added, so I'll take a look next time; and I'll look for the olives too! anybody notice any good pickles???

GFChris Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 anybody notice any good pickles??? Bubbies pickles are popular with W30 folks. If your grocer carries them, you'll find them in the refrigerated section of the store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFChris Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Does anyone know if BJ's has the same things? I'm a BJ's member, and I get my tub of coconut oil there, as well as a huge bottle of Bertucci light olive oil for making homemade mayo. I will sometimes get grass fed ground beef there as well. The produce looks great, but it comes in such large bags and there's only two of us in my household, it doesn't make sense for me to buy produce in bulk. Haven't checked out the poultry. For the same type of eggs I can get cheaper at my local grocery store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulipgirl6 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Is there any compliant smoked salmon at costco??? TY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 tulipgirl unfortunately even if a fellow board member found a compliant smoked salmon at their local Costco, it wouldn't necessarily mean that same item would be available at your local Costco, or even if it was that it'd have the same ingredient list. It's one of those "see for yourself" kind of things. Like we see in the recent thread about Thai Kitchen curry paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 The only compliant smoked salmon I have found is in foil packs at my grocery store near the canned tuna. And it's not nearly as tasty as the stuff in the refrigerated section. (But I haven't spent a whole lot of time searching for it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlennR Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Some of my CostCo staples: Organic ground beef Ground bison Lamb loin chops Lean cuts of beef (for some reason, grass-fed is rarely available in my local store) Frozen wild salmon Organic chicken EVOO Avocado oil Coconut oil Canned wild pink salmon (essential for salmon cakes) Canned sardines Mac nuts Coffee Sea salt I rarely buy fruits and veggies since the packages are usually too large for one person.

Munkers Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Kerrygold butter coconut oil avocado oil raw almonds and pecans Compliant, ready to eat sausages La Croix seltzer Kombucha 6-pack (may be a seasonal thing) Raspberries Apples Sweet potatoes (also seasonal) Dates, on occasion Broccoli and cauliflower Mushrooms Cubed butternut squash Asparagus Frozen shrimp Various other frozen fish filets Canned diced tomatoes Tomato paste Whole artichokes in water (not the marinated. Those have canola) Mateo's brand salsa Balsamic vinegar Canned tuna canned salmon We bought frozen burger patties once, but I don't recommend them. We don't mind fatty meat, but these were greasy and flavorless. We can get better stuff at Sprouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NooraniS Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Has anyone tried the MOREY's brand, vacuum sealed MARINATED WILD SALMON. I love this stuff!!! and all the ingredients seem compliant (they do list olive oil and canola oil-- which I know we should avoid as much as possible). Highly, highly recommend it.

Hi Noorani, Unfortunately canola oil is not compliant for much beyond a restaurant meal where there is nothing else available. It wouldn't be appropriate to purchase products for home use that have this as an ingredient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennysara11 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wilson organic hard boiled eggs, come packaged in 2 and prepeeled. I nearly threw a tantrum when they were missing from our costco during our pre whole 30 stock up. Let me tell you, peeling eggs for 4 sucks. I buy these too! It seemed silly to me at first, but the eggs I get locally are too fresh and are a nightmare to peel! I still buy them, but I eat them in other ways. On busy mornings, I usually just grab a 2 pack of HB eggs, some fruit, and I have breakfast on the go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinSpin Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 With hard boiled eggs--I discovered that steaming them works best and I can peel fresh eggs! I steam them in a steamer basket over about an inch of boiling water. I load up the steamer, clap the lid on and let it steam for 9 minutes. I put them in cold water and then into the fridge they go. The white is fully cooked and the yolk is still a bit soft. if you want them more well done, cook for 10 minutes. Soft boiled--really yummy at 6 minutes, 30 seconds.

Rebe_J Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I did my Costco run today, and came home disappointed. My Costco has discontinued the Kirkland Marinara Sauce. I found a (nearly) suitable substitute that is W30 compliant. I wrote to Costco to express my disappointment and I got a speedy reply that my comments would be forwarded to the appropriate person.
