I'm a die-hard Costco fan with an executive membership. Here are the 9 items I can't leave the store without.

Some people are horse girls, but I proudly refer to myself as a Costco girl.

I grew up going to the store with my mom in the early 2000s and loved snacking on the free samples.

As I got older, I knew I was in a serious relationship when my partner and I got a Costco executive membership together.

Now, as I’m starting my own family, I still turn to Costco for nutritious and affordable meals.

I make weekly trips to the wholesale retailer, and although I always grab the rotisserie chicken, there are (at least) nine other items that I simply cannot leave the store without.

Here are a few of my favorite items to buy at Costco.
