Facts are facts: Everybody loves Costco. But what about Costco do we all love? Is it the booze? Is it the cleaning products? Is it the food court?
Thanks to a survey by CouponBirds, now we know just what each state loves the most. Though Costco is available in 49 states, the survey didn’t have data available for Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. No matter.
Here’s what the rest of our country is loyal to when shopping at Costco.
1. Goodles Cheddy Mac White Cheddar Shells
Georgia
Mississippi
New York
Ohio
Goodles, which is co-founded by Gal Gadot, makes killer mac and cheese. I myself have tried most of the flavors, and while Cheddy Mac wasn’t my favorite of the bunch, I can see why it’s so popular.
2. Trident Fish Sticks
Washington
Massachusetts
Virginia
Hopefully tartar sauce is also flying off the shelf. Or maybe we’re doing some DIY shortcut fish tacos? Either way, it’s hard to go wrong with many of the options in Costco’s freezer section.
3. General Mills Morning Summit Cereal
Missouri
Pennsylvania
Texas
This is a cereal I’ve never even heard of. This is probably because it looks to be a lot less loaded with sugar.
4. Kirkland Prosecco
California
Arizona
Illinois
No surprise on California since it’s such a huge wine producer, but Arizona and Illinois? I love your style.
5. Reese’s Dipped Animal Crackers
Kentucky
Montana
Nebraska
When Reese’s introduces something crunchy into the game, he rarely misses. Animal crackers seem like no exception.

6. Woozoo Globe Fan
Connecticut
Hawaii
This thing oscillates like a maniac. In a good way. Its spherical structure can hit all angles of the room, so it’s easy to see why it’s so popular.
7. Kirkland Three Berry Blend
Florida
Maryland
Florida and Maryland are big smoothie-drinkers, it seems. Or they prefer their berries nice and crunchy.
8. Kirkland Premium Paper Towels
Alabama
Alaska
Looks like we’ve got some messy eaters in Alabama and Alaska.

9. Costco Fresh Berries
New Hampshire
Vermont
They eat a lot of pancakes up there, so I get the berry love. Though, it feels like this might have to do more with the produce available in those beautiful, magical wooded states than Costco’s ability to source berries.
10. Sutton Place Cooling Throw
Wisconsin
Minnesota
I’m not fully sure why you’d want a blanket that cools you down, or even how a blanket could cool you down, but the folks up there in the Great Lakes area know something I don’t.
11. Kirkland Italian Style Beef Meatballs
Idaho
South Dakota
Where does Kirkland Signature fit into your meatball ranking? In Idaho and South Dakota, it’s number one.
12. Kirkland French Vodka
Delaware
Michigan
If you’re a vodka drinker and you’ve never tasted Kirkland vodka, you’re missing out. Many people compare it favorably to Grey Goose, and I know more than a few vodka snobs who have called it the best vodka they’ve ever had.
13. Kirkland Signature Stretch-Tite Plastic Food Wrap
Indiana
New Jersey
This is actually a very endearing item, if you think about it. These people are cooking up a storm, hosting people, feeding their communities, and making too much that they need to wrap some up for later.
14. Kirkland Maple Syrup
Colorado
South Carolina
This is the pure stuff, none of that fake syrup. Kirkland wouldn’t do you like that.
15. Sanders Small Batch Wonders Sea Salt Caramels
Iowa
Only Iowa? These things are wildly addicting. Watch out before you accidentally eat 10 straight.
16. Bibigo Cooked Sticky Rice
Oregon
People often mention how Bibigo’s rice tastes restaurant quality. Oregon seems to agree.
17. Kirkland Organic No Salt Seasoning
Nevada
Nevada’s the only place watching its sodium intake, eh?
18. Kirkland Leggings
New Mexico
Good on you, New Mexico; you’re more active than the rest of us. Or maybe these leggings are equally good for watching TV?
19. Kirkland Premium Bath Tissue
Maine
Just Maine, alone in this category. Kind of an embarrassing one.
20. Food Court Hot Dog / Soda Combo
North Dakota
No other states besides North Dakota are hitting the food court this often? I love North Dakota’s vibe here. Just going to Costco for lunch is a power move. And I only say that because I’ve done it a bunch of times.
21. Kirkland Diapers
Utah
Lotta people with a lotta children in Utah. This isn’t surprising in the slightest.
22. La Terra Fina Spinach Artichoke and Parmesan Dip
Tennessee
Tennessee is alone in the hunt for great spinach dip, but we have an expression where I come from: More for me.
