Buy: Verka organic yogurt
You can buy a 64-ounce tub of Verka organic yogurt for just a bit more than you’d pay for a 16-ounce yogurt at the grocery store. Surprisingly, this product has a long shelf life, and the taste is comparable to other whole-milk products. This yogurt was given a good rating from the Cornucopia Institute, which promotes family farming. While you have other yogurt choices at Costco, this is the best one.
Skip: Las Fortunitas tortilla chips
If the Costco near you sells Las Fortunitas chips – those that come in a bag the size of a garbage bag – skip them. This isn’t because of the price. The bag costs less than $6, which is an incredible deal. It’s not the taste either – these chips are good. It’s because you most likely will never finish the whole bag. Even if you buy them for a party, you’re probably going to have half of the 5-pound bag left-over. On top of that, Fooducate gave these chips a B-minus rating since they contain hydrogenated oils.
