If you’re after cost-effective, convenient meal options, there is pretty much no better place to find them than Costco. When it comes to breakfast, shoppers have tons of reliable items that they buy every time to make mornings easier and breakfast more affordable. Here are some favorites we rounded up. Let us know in the comments if we left your favorites off the list!
Croissants
This is a no-brainer since Costco’s croissants have one of the biggest cult-like followings in the bakery. If you don’t have a big family, though, they might go bad before you’re able to eat your way through them, so Redditors suggest popping some in the freezer as soon as you get them home.
Ciabatta Bread
Everyone’s always celebrating croissants, but ciabatta bread is a sleeper hit. Redditors swear by them as the vessel for the perfect breakfast sandwich.
Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese
When we’re talking about bread, meat, egg, and cheese, things can get expensive quickly, but one Redditor suggests using Kirkland Signature’s Coastal Cheddar cheese; since it’s flavor is so strong, you don’t need to use as much. Of course, it’s important to remember that these ingredients can be used to meal prep a big batch of sandwiches that you can freeze for later, so you truly are stretching your money further.
Kirkland Signature Organic Greek Yogurt
Whether you’re making your own overnight oats, putting together a parfait, or adding it to a different breakfast recipe, Greek yogurt is a staple ingredient that you’ll want in your breakfast rotation. Costco’s is a reliable and affordable option.
Thomas English Muffins
Try them with peanut butter and jelly (or honey and banana!), with butter, or use them to make a breakfast sandwich. Redditors agree: The English muffins at Costco are a great deal.
