I buy various items using my $200 monthly Costco budget.Dominic Bucca

I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Costco, even though I only shop for two.
I have an executive Costco membership and feel that it's worth the $120 fee.

Despite not having a large family to feed, I've been shopping at Costco for more than 20 years.

I pay for a $120 executive membership, which feels worth it to me because of the savings I score on pantry staples, dairy, meat, and more.

Unlike the cheaper $60 membership, the executive version has a 2% annual reward of up to $1,000 on eligible Costco purchases.

Here are some of the items I pick up each month from Costco.

Prices may vary by location.

I always keep a three-pack of Cento San Marzano peeled tomatoes on hand.
