I've been a restaurant critic for 15 years. Here are 12 things I love to buy at Costco.
My husband and I often purchase fixings for Korean barbecue and bread pudding.

I've worked as a food writer, editor, and critic since 2008. When I'm not busy dining out, my husband and I buy many of our alimentary staples at Costco.

Here are some of my favorite things to buy at Costco.

Note: Prices and availability may vary by location — I am based in Northern Virginia.

The secret to the best bread pudding is Kirkland Signature croissants.

Bibigo's bowls of cooked sticky white rice make at-home Korean barbecue easy.
