I tried a bunch of Costco foods I learned about from TikTok.
The Starbucks sous-vide egg bites and peanut-butter chocolate-cream pie were great.

I'm a fairly new shopper at Costco — I've only gone twice since getting my membership about a month ago.

The first time I visited the warehouse store, I was overwhelmed by the variety of food, furniture, and clothes. I didn't know what to buy.

So, to prepare for my next Costco trip, I scoured TikTok for inspiration. Then, I bought popular foods to see if they were worth the hype, and if I'd buy them again.

Foster Farms Take Out crispy wings seemed promising.
