Put Costco in the search box, there are dozens of previous threads on everyoneās favorites. But since no answer yet, my Shopping List ideas below. Some foods are more Paleo than Keto.
Costco Low Carb/Paleo/Keto Shopping List
Meat, Fish, Eggs - any and all types you like, all OK if without sugar, fillers, sauces, etc.
Chicken Sausages like Aidellās are LC and organic, no nitrate deli meats, imported salami, Organic partially grass-fed ground beef in 3 one pound packs, bison, grass-fed frozen patties and Aussie sirloin steak cooked sous videā¦open and eat!
Wild caught Alaskan Salmon, in fresh, prepped, smoked, etc
Chicken thighs, whole chickens, Rotisserie Chicken $4.99 good sized (convenience tops any concerns about additives) also 2.5 pound vacuum packs of the same chicken off bones. Can make a huge chicken salad with it, so easy. Pulled Pork smoked with no sauce.
Filet Mignon, not cheap, but better price than most stores. Rib eyes, NY strip, etc.
Bacon! in rear cool cases. Love their thick-sliced bacon from Danish pork bellies, mostly pasture raised. Canned Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon, other canned fish you like, on shelves.
Fresh Vegetables, color peppers, cucumbers, grape tomatoes organic if possible
Organic box of Spring Mix, Spinach in bags, Romaine Lettuce (small artisan size makes great sandwich wraps) Kale Chopped Salad, make your own dressing, packet good for family. Asparagus, Green beans, Broccoli, any thing you like. Fruits, stick with berries only if can handle the sugar. Prepped veggies too, e.g. Mashed Cauliflower, baked Spaghetti Squash.
Packaged Foods. Artichoke hearts in jar, Sun dried tomatoes, other jarred veggies for a charcuterie platter. Olives, many kinds. Frozen Organic Cauliflower Rice and other frozen organic vegetables. Bone Broth in a box, Pacific organic brand or Costco regular broth.
Pasta Sauce - Nellos, 6g carbs, 4g net. organic, no sugar added, a Raleigh based company.
Whispsā¦Baked cheese crackers, just parma cheese (a snack chip but in crouton aisle). Recently added Moon Cheese too in snack packets.
Flaxseed Meal and Almond Flour if you do LC baking.
Huge Pink Himalayan Salt and Pepper grinders, and other spices IF you can use those amounts. Saigon Cinnamon. Trader Joeās (TJ) has good pink salt and rainbow pepper grinders in table size, I move the bigger amounts to smaller grinder.
Healthy fats,
Kerry Gold Butter, 3 8oz. for 7.49, best price in town!
Coconut Oil Organic Virgin is in Huge jars (but I buy the smaller size at Trader Joes.)
Avocado Oil. Make mayo with this oil now, http://www.everydaymaven.com/2014/how-to-make-mayonnaise/ Organic EVOO is excellent, a Costco favorite buy.
Dairy, any full-fat, no sugar or starch added, if dairy doesnāt bother you.
Heavy Cream, Half and Half, Daisy Sour Cream and Cottage Cheese, Cream Cheese, shredded mozzarella. All Imported cheeses, not US, are usually from grass-fed, pasture raised cows.
All kinds of cheeseā¦for strong flavor, I like English Coastal Cheddar, Real Parma shredded (look for cheese origin seals), goat cheese (also cranberry one at holidays for a pretty platter), gouda, etc. Like TJs, Costco has many cheeses, and many imported are generally pasture raised, at good prices but in larger sized packages.
Pimento Cheese, aka as Palmetto Cheese at Costco (may only be a Southern region item, from Pawleys Island, regular and spicy, uses soybean oil mayo if an issue) Chunky Organic Guacamole, comes in 3 pack or smaller take along size. Fresh salsas/Pico de Gallo.
Nuts/Nut Butters, Paleo favors Almond Butter as peanut butter is a legume and can have mold, etc. Macadamias (not always in stock), almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews etc. most any nut is good, check carbs. The large can of southern peanuts are excellent. Nuts in both baking aisle and front snack area.
Beverages /Coffee - any. There is a strong roast Organic Signature blend from Charleston Coffee Roasters (maybe only a Southern region product). Grinder is located near tires after check-out. Also the Kirkland 3 pound ground Columbia coffee in a can is a very popular ābest buyā. I buy smaller boxes and herbal teas at TJs.
Flavored Sparkling Water - only spring water, CO2 , flavor essence. Nothing with any sugar or artificial sweeteners. Deer Park in half liter bottles with 4 flavor essence, Pellegrino, Perrier, brand varies. Always check for the extra ācouponsā for buys on cases of these waters, etc.
Wine: Sign up for email for independent wine reviews at https://costcowineblog.com If you read about a wine you want to try, hop on it, like TJās some featured wines come and go.
Alcohol is not sold in the NC stores but is in 3 SC stores and one near DC. You can find independent reviews of that too.
Non-food. Gas! Books! June -July 2018 have four big stacks of Keto Books.
Paper products, Kirkland Laundry detergent, Vitamins (tons of them and OTC meds in huge bottles), Rental Car rates have beat all other reward clubs/deals we have, on-line contact lens less than the other discounter we had been using, keep watch on the monthly coupons for good dealsā¦ bought those new sharp ceramic knives and a set of pans for DD.

I just love the amazingly good prices on large quantities of low carb organic veggies - bags of zucchini, boxes of mushrooms, lettuce.
I make my own sashimi from costco salmon. Risking death I suppose, but so far so good and itās soooo awesome!
Big fan of the frozen organic riced cauliflower.
HWC - a half gallon costs practically the same as a pint elsewhere!
3 packages of kerrygold for $9.
a dozen free range organic eggs for 2.79, also about half the price of my local supermarket. And of course if you don't care about that stuff, their 18 count boxes are what, .10 per egg?
I just tried something called āNutzoā, itās a nut and seed butter. Not cheap, but really tasty!
Oh yeah, and a 3-4 pound roast chicken for $4.99.

Well these two perky gals will help with that depression, a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKtRhsKlGGc
Foods will vary by region, even in the same regional warehouse territory a store manager has some leeway as to what items the store carries.
And here is a brand new generic shopping list from Virta with both TJ and Costco favorites:

UPDATE: our 3 pack of KerryGold for $7.49, is now this week, a 4 pack for $10.99! And heard through another forum, but not seen yet, KirkLand brand has a new European Style Butterā¦usually about 2% more butterfat, but could be made in US not grass-fed.
