Dairy & Eggs
Five dozen eggs sounds absurd until you realize how fast they disappear.
Costco dairy is where bulk buying truly shines. Eggs by the 60-count, butter by the four-pound box, cheese in quantities that would make a deli counter blush. The Kirkland Parmigiano Reggiano alone is worth the membership — it's the real deal, imported from Italy, at a fraction of what you'd pay at a specialty shop. And that cage-free egg flat? Once you go 5-dozen, you never go back.
