When I jog to Costco, I only buy items that I can easily carry home.Michelle Maves

I'm a new mom who jogs to Costco as part of my workout routine.
I only buy what I can carry, including items like Kirkland muffins and ground beef.

To stay sane during the toughest parts of 2020, I took up jogging and discovered that there was a nearby Costco I could run to.

I wasn't a member at the time because I didn't think bulk shopping would make sense for just my husband, baby, and me.

However, I was surprised to find that shopping at Costco saved us money and added variety to our meals.

As a New Yorker who walks everywhere, I only purchase items that I can carry home. And, as a new mom, jogging to Costco has helped me get back into a workout routine.

Here are 12 great Costco items that fit into my reusable grocery bags.
