Costco is known for its great deals on bulk buys. The membership-only warehouse is often a must-stop shop for large families wanting to save money. But it may also be worth the trip if you are shopping for one. Things like the big-box retailer’s $5 rotisserie chicken and low-priced batteries are considered staples no matter how many people you shop for. 

In addition to these viral sensations, there are other products that you will want to stock up on the next time you brave the often crowded parking lot at your local store. Here are five of the best Costco deals when you’re shopping for one.

• Price: $24.99

Savvy Costco shoppers know that the store’s Kirkland Signature bath tissue is a steal at $24.99. The two-ply bath tissue is highly rated and comparable to much more expensive name brands. If you grab the case, you’ll get 36 rolls and 231 sheets per roll. It is septic-safe and has a “soft, cloud-like texture,” according to one reviewer. 

• Price: $37.99

If you are an avid coffee drinker, theKirkland Signature K-Cup pods are a must-buy the next time you are at Costco. The 120-count box is organic, fair trade certified and kosher. You can choose between the Breakfast Blend, which is 100% arabica coffee and light roast; Summit Roast; Pacific Bold; and House Decaf. At under $40 a box, you will be paying a fraction of what you would pay at your local coffee shop per cup. 

• Price: $12.69

For solo shoppers who do not want to hassle with cooking breakfast, the 12-pack of Kellogg’s cereal cups is a great deal. The variety pack comes with three cups of Froot Loops, four cups of Frosted Flakes, three Frosted Mini-Wheats and two Apple Jacks. The cups are perfect for a quick breakfast at home or a snack on the go. They also have a decent shelf life, so you won’t have to worry about them going bad too quickly. 

• Price: $14.99

Cooking for one can be frustrating. Most recipes make enough for at least two and in some cases can feed a family of four. Instead of slaving over the stove making a meal with leftovers you may never eat, pick up a six-count of Kirkland Signature chicken breast cans. The canned chunk chicken is a versatile pantry staple that can be used in a variety of quick dishes. It is packed in water and is a product of the USA.

• Price: Varies

Finally, one of the best deals at Costco is its restaurant gift cards. The membership-only warehouse carries a wide array of gift cards that can be used at restaurants and other retailers in your area. These gift cards often have some sort of discount associated with them, such as $20 off.

If you love pizza, why not pick up four $25 Domino’s e-gift cards for only $74.99? Or you can get a week’s worth of your favorite sandwiches with five $15 Subway e-gift cards for only $59.99. These gift cards not only are money savers but also space savers. You won’t have to store any food or stress about cooking.
