A guide to what's worth it. #2: Costco Finds
Sharing three favorites that I find worth every penny.
They say you’re either a Costco girlie or a Sam’s girlie but rarely are you both (see the poll below to see where you land). We’re definitely Costco fans in our house but I do occasionally hit up Sam’s Club for school snacks. They seem to have a much larger selection of individually bagged cookies, crackers and chips than Costco does. Nonetheless, I find the quality of goods much superior at Costco.
I’ve got THREE great items to share with you today. One is new to us and will definitely become a repeat purchase. The other two items are often not on our “list” but somehow land in our carts. Oops!
Let me know if you’ve tried any of these or if you have a recent favorite Costco purchase that you’d like to share.
SimplyProtein Crispy Bars **New to us**
We’re always on the hunt for protein bars that are low in sugar and calories. Costco brings in quite a few brands and sadly they don’t always stick around. My suggestion is to stock up if you find something you like. I hope these are still in stock when I go back.
Price: $17.99 for 15 -1.41oz bars. Our Dallas area Costco had a coupon for $5.40 off and now I wish I had grabbed two boxes.
Each bar is 15g Protien, 1g Sugar and 150 Calories. I was a bit worried these would taste a bit dried out but I found both the flavor and texture to be delightful! I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed all three flavors.
The SimplyProtein Story:
“Our original founder, Cathy, wanted something very simple: A delicious snack with satisfying protein, clean ingredients and a mindful approach to calories and sugar. One that would taste great without artificial flavors and tons of ingredients.
When she couldn’t find one, she made her own.
Now they’re here for you too. Incredibly delicious snacks with a simple promise. And a simple name.”
Kirkland Signature Caramel S’mores Clusters **A trusted fave**
Warning: These are highly addictive!! I dare you to just have one. Although these clusters are pretty darn big and satisfying so perhaps you can restrain yourselves.
I like to call this a balanced diet. *wink wink*
Price: $8.99 for 26.3oz bag
Organic Everything Bagel Chips **A trusted fave**
Price: $7.99 for 15oz
Organic and Non-GMO these bagel chips are EVERYTHING. I love these with dips or even on their own. Some people say they’re super garlicky so I guess just make sure you consume them around loved ones?
Grab a container of these and then hit up the dip aisle and you’ve got yourself the perfect snack for book club!
Are you drooling yet? I hope I enticed you to make a trip to Costco soon.
Enjoy your day, friends.

Love the smores clusters and the everything bagel crisps. They're so buttery and delish.
I have been addicted to the Kirkland S’mores! They are amazing- so decadent. I also tried the bagel crisps and love them as a snack with some cheese.
