Price: $7.99 (on sale from $11.99)

With five grams of protein and 90 calories per serving, the cookies 'n cream Greek yogurt bars are a healthier alternative with a flavor you'll savor. Worried about this dessert tasting too tangy? Redditor zigggggy wrote, "They taste good. I don't really taste any yogurt flavor."

And the taste isn't the only thing Costco customers enjoy. Other Reddit users pointed out that this product's discounted price makes the 15-count box a top choice. Even at the full price ($11.99), you'll only pay $0.80 per bar. Target charges $1.32 ($5.29 for a four-pack).

Price: $299.97

This bidet seat has it all. An automatic air deodorizer neutralizes odors, adjustable warm air dryers add comfort, and a dual-action pulsating/oscillating option keeps you clean. 

Shoppers note that while this brand can cost well over $300, Costco often has budget-friendly bidet deals. Redditor Wabi-Sabi-Iki commented, "Awesome deal! I have coveted a Toto bidet since using one at the Park Hyatt in Paris."

Price: $27.99

Keep germs at bay and get 400 nitrile gloves for under $28. A 50-count of CVS's store-brand sells for $15.49. You'll pay over $120 to get the Costco quantity at that price. 

Costco customer Hilary gave this find five stars: "I really depend on these gloves…Price is great and I love that Costco offers such a large quantity."

Price: $29.97

Refresh your bathroom without breaking the bank. This under $30 shower head has a seven-inch spray face, fits most standard shower arms, meets EPA WaterSense criteria, and has a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

 Shopper K Lewis wrote a glowing review on Costco's website: "Excellent shower head. Highly recommend, especially for the price point."

Price: $549.99

Costco customer lola recommended this brand-name buy in the review section, "I love this mattress so much. It's made me realize how terrible of a mattress I've been sleeping on for the past 10 years."

The mattress's cooling knit cover, breathable top layer, and zoned support make it a winner. Compare Costco's under $550 deal to the $899 foam model on Casper's website.

Price: $1.50

The iconic Food Court hot dogs (and a 20-ounce soda) are an always-popular fan favorite for a reason. Shoppers enjoy the taste — but that's not all. 

Redditor WeenieTheQueen praised this pick, "People say you can have things good and cheap, cheap and fast, or good and fast, but not all three…A Costco hot dog is all three things!"

Price: $17.99

Shoppers can't get enough of the warehouse club's chocolatey tuxedo cake. 

Reddit user DisneyAddict2021 posted, "Why did y'all talk about how good the tuxedo cake is? I had two slices, and now I want more." 

While eating the entire cake at once isn't advisable, customers note it's easy to freeze.

Price: $189.99

You don't have to pay specialty outdoor store prices for the top patio furniture styles. Costco's shoppers think the SunVilla line is well worth the price. Subreddit user Ride_4urlife bought items from this brand and Sunbrella, saying, 

"We're in the South Bay, they get some direct sun but still look brand new. I'd estimate another five years as long as we keep them out of the blistering afternoon sun."

Price: $6.99 per pound

Snag this new deli roll-up while you can. The spinach tortilla wrap is stuffed with Kirkland Signature's classic rotisserie chicken, bacon bits, shredded cheddar, onions, tomatoes, and baby leaf spinach.

Even though some shoppers agree that making a sandwich from scratch is the most affordable option, Redditor Deceptiveideas notes, "It's really a convenience thing. It is, however priced cheaper than grocery store premade meals."

Price: $22.99

Check your local Costco club for the best deals on this quick, convenient lunchtime fave. We spotted the six-count of 9.73-ounce bowls for $18.79. Customer Maria 99 gave it five stars, writing, "This soup is higher quality and taste than typical ramen or other brands…I am very happy with this product, it soothes my soul, and I will buy it again."

Price: $4.99

As one of the most famous Costco buys, the rotisserie chicken is a must-have prepared food that deserves a spot in your cart. Reddit user HopefulSunriseToday recently wrote, "I finally tried the rotisserie chicken! It's so good. And $5 is a steal. I'm a fool for waiting this long." You can't buy a whole chicken to roast yourself for this price.

Price: $19.99

Store-brand allergy meds are a top deal that Costco shoppers enjoy. Take it from Redditor Jamieson22, "The Aller-Flo generic Flonase is also a ridiculous deal." Get five of the 144-spray bottles for under $20. Walgreens sells a single-pack of Flonase for $32.99.

Price: $11.99

Pass on pricey salon formulas and try this KS generic. The 33.8-ounce bottle is a deal for under $12. At a local Costco club, we found this pick for less ($9.99). Shopper Madison B gave this store-brand bargain a glowing review, "Excellent product, I've used it for at least 5+ years. I've tried using other products but always come back to this shampoo and conditioner combo."

Avoid wasting your money on products that just aren't worth the cost. Instead of a trial and error approach, learn a lesson from Costco's regular shoppers.

Whether you want to update your home or stock your fridge with easy-to-heat-and-eat family meals, the members-only club's customers' favorite finds are budget-friendly deals. And these aren't the only bargains you'll find. Look for discounts and bulk buys on everything from pet food to laundry detergent.
