![]() ![]() That’s according to a study from the Plant Based Foods Association, which also found 63 percent of consumers buying plant-based meats keep coming back as repeat customers.Įating a plant-based diet is good for our health and for the health of the planet. I do hope to do updates on this post as new products appear in Costco and old ones are no longer stocked and also create another one for Costco in the US when the borders open again.In the past year, our consumption of plant-based foods grew by double digits over the prior year. Hopefully, this post will help you decide if a Costco membership is worth the money. The intention behind this post is to simply show you the kinds of products they tend to stock, their prices, and to give you a snapshot in time of what is available. ![]() If you head to your local Costco because they had a product I listed here, then you might be disappointed. If you are reading this from the USA, UK or other countries where Costco operates, then be aware that perhaps some products shown here might not be available where you are. The productsīefore we get started, you need to know where it was we did this shopping! These products were in the downtown Vancouver branch in March 2021. Find out all the latest fun vegan products available. This incredibly active group is really good. We don’t and we don’t travel all the way to Vancouver just for Costco (we like to add a lunch somewhere, maybe a neighbourhood walk, visit with friends, etc.) which means we need to have a coolbox and freezer blocks so nothing will melt by the time we get home. Perhaps you have a Costco close to your house. Usually it is just normal sized products that are packaged together with even more packaging. Sadly buying in bulk at Costco does not always mean less plastic waste. Other tips Avoid overly packaged products Store food carefullyĮven dry goods should be stored at the right temperature and if a product has been opened, make sure it is in an airtight jar so that weevils don’t get into your food. It’s money down the drain and a huge waste of resources. Plan your meals after you get home to make sure that you don’t end up composting your vegetables in your salad crisper. Items that will perish quickly like baby spinach should be used as quickly as possible after buying it. ![]() While I am not sure if that’s the right approach, you want to make sure you do have enough room for perishable items. I know some Costco fans that buy a chest freezer and extra freezers just for their Costco purchases. How terrible would be if you got home only to discover that you didn't have enough room for everything. You are limited in these areas if you only have a small refrigerator and freezer. Don’t get carried away in the refrigerated and frozen section I love Costco, but I can easily be drawn in to buying highly processed snacks that I wouldn’t buy anyway and despite the cheap price, these snacks are certainly more expensive than the snack I usually eat (which is no snack). While I don’t keep an accurate record of how much I save by going to Costco, I think I do save a lot of money if, and only IF, I follow my Costco rules! Only buy things you would buy at the local store anyway We know the layout really well, the staff are efficient and polite and we are done in less than an hour. Fast forward nearly a year and we go about every 2 months or so and stock up on a lot of products. We bought ourselves a membership and I will happily admit that our first trip was extremely expensive. When we first moved from Asia to Canada in April 2020, one of the places I was really excited to go shopping in for the first time was Costco. ![]()
