Our family sometimes travels 15+ hours from Saudi Arabia to shop at Costco in the Chicago area.
The Snack Factory Pretzel Crisps and the Universal Bakery Aussie bites are quick, easy snacks.

Our family loves grabbing sweet treats and easy snacks each time we travel to Costco from Saudi Arabia.

On this specific trip, we traveled over 15 hours from Mecca, Saudi Arabia, to Chicago and stocked up on our favorites at the wholesale retailer.

This time, we took a nearly five-hour flight from Mecca to Istanbul, Turkey, then a 10-hour flight to Chicago. In total, we spent about 15 hours traveling over 5,000 miles to get to the US — and the journey worked up the entire family's appetites.

Once we arrived in Chicago, we headed over to Costco to stock up on snacks both the adults and kids could enjoy during our stay in the US.

We like to buy snacks and occasionally some other essentials for our stay in the US.
