Keto Costco Ultimate Shopping List

-
I love Costco for Keto friendly foods! Bulk size and alot of the time you pay regular sized prices! It may be a big bill up front, but in the long run you will save. I would say that’s a win-win! This is going to be an extensive list, but because products are ever changing and sometimes available for certain times, all of these may not be there when you go. Some pictures also have prices, which may be different at your store!

Here is a picture of my haul my patient husband and I did! Total spent was $100!

Before we get started you will need to know what type of Keto you follow. Check out this link: What type of Keto are you? These items will all fit under the Dirty Keto definition, but not all will fit under Strict Keto. If you are Strict Keto please check your labels in regards to the ingredients so that you only buy for the plan you are on.

First I am going to list my top 11 Costco must haves:

  •  Egg Thins!! These are only 8 calories each! Use them as tortillas for breakfast, as noodles in a lasagna, bake them and make chips, or even pan fry with butter and stuff with a sweet filling! 



  • EGGS! This is the number one item I recommend for Keto. They are great when it comes to macros, and eggs fill you up and keep you full longer. 60 eggs at $8.79 is a spectacular buy. 
  • Rotisserie Chicken! At $4.99 who can beat the taste and price! An already cooked chicken is a time saver on busy nights. I love shredding up the chicken and mixing it with zoodles and homemade Alfredo sauce.
  • Kerrygold- they only have salted but I’m not a complainer!! This is a grass-fed butter that is so good I’ve heard of people eating it straight!! its a great place to stock up for only $8.99!
  • Garlic - if a recipe calls for a tablespoon of garlic, I’m adding 3! With benefits like fighting cancer, lowering blood pressure, aiding in weight loss, helping with symptoms of dementia, and so much more, I try to ingest as much as possible. With already minced garlic, and an organic version for both under $5.00, this is a must have! 
     


  • Organic Spring Mix - This is a huge container of greens for only $3.99! I was able to portion this out to 5 large salads for my meal prep!  
  • Wholly Guacamole  - let's face it avocados go bad really fast. These pre-portioned refrigerated cups of guacamole will help you get your fats in for under $10.00! 
  • Coconut Oil - my costco has this product under $17.00 for this HUGE container of coconut oil. An 8 ounce jar of this at other locations is about $8.00. This for me is a staple for Keto!
  • Almond Flour - 3 lbs for $11.89 - this is a big savings!! Almond flour is used for fat head dough (pizza dough, chips, pastries and more!!) and as a substitute for bread crumbs. If you are allergic to tree nuts you will want coconut flour, I don't think that costco sells this YET!

  • Bacon - Everyone's favorite Keto item! Bacon! When shopping at costco you will get 4 packs for $10. They have regular and lower sodium versions, I get the regular as salt is important for me!
     
  • Cheese Whisps - I use this to replace chips when dipping into salsa or guacamole. Alternatively you can make you own - here is the link! 
More Items to consider!
  • Almond Milk - Unsweetened 
     

  • Heavy Whipping Cream 
  • Cream Cheese

Other Items to Check Out

Fathead Dough Pastries!

Ready for a pastry that you will love? This recipe will have 3 variations, which I hope will also inspire you to create your own combination. We are first going to make a basic fat head dough, and create a filling! The top left is my peach / cream cheese pastry, I love peach and have been missing the flavor of it. The top right, which is hands down the best of the 3 is strawberry / cream cheese! I could eat this every meal of every day! Lastly the bottom of the bunch, was also my least favorite, I used Lily's Chocolate mixed with cream cheese. It was ... well it was ok. I rather spend my macros on the other two. But I thought I would still share in case you have a better idea and would like to make this better!! *******Disclaimer ******* if you are strict keto (ingredients are clean and you don't eat naughty things), then the fillings, except for the chocolate one will not work for you. You will, however, be able to use the the strawberry filling if you use store bou...
