Plainville Farms Organic Ground Turkey is an essential in my home.

Organic ground turkey is one of my favorite protein purchases at Costco. I can usually get a 3 pound package for about $20; Meanwhile, a 1-pound package usually costs around $10 at my local supermarket.

I use it on everything from tacos and burgers to meat sauce for pasta.

I always stock up on Kirkland Signature organic eggs.

Eggs are one of the most versatile foods in my kitchen and it is something I prepare weekly. Not only are eggs a great source of protein on their own, but they are also a perfect addition to any meal or snack.

At the beginning of the week, I use my egg steamer to make hard-boiled eggs for easy breakfasts and snacks. We also love to have vegetable omelettes or frittatas for dinner at least once a week.

Chobani’s low-fat plain Greek yogurt helps us a lot.

Plain Greek yogurt is a staple in my refrigerator at home. It’s rich in protein and makes a delicious, creamy base for breakfast bowls and fruit parfaits.

I often add it to my smoothies or combine it with frozen berries and nuts for a balanced breakfast or snack when I need something filling between meals. It’s also delicious as a protein-rich substitute for sour cream in tacos.

One Degree Organic Foods Rolled Oats are a staple in our pantry.

Oatmeal is one of the cheapest pantry staples I buy.

I will purchase a large 5 pound bag for about $12.50 and then use the oats in various ways throughout the week. They are versatile, affordable, and rich in fiber, making meals and snacks more nutritious.

In addition to using them to make cooking oats and overnight oats, I often grind them into oat flour for baking muffins, waffles, and pancakes.

Frozen blueberries and strawberries are a must for both healthy and sweet breakfasts.

Frozen blueberries and strawberries are two of my favorite purchases at Costco; Stocking up on them makes it easy to always have fruit available.

Fresh berries can spoil quickly, so buying frozen fruit in bulk helps reduce waste while ensuring we always have nutrient-dense fruit on hand.

Although smoothies are a popular use for these, I enjoy them most in cold cereals, yogurt bowls, and baked goods. I will also thaw them and mix them with Greek yogurt or oatmeal.

I always buy nuts at Costco and Kirkland Signature nuts are my favorite.

Although I buy all my nuts at Costco, walnuts are the ones I tend to buy most often. Buying them in bulk is easier on my pocket than buying smaller packages elsewhere. To maintain freshness, I always store some in a sealed container and freeze the rest.

I use nuts in a variety of ways, including adding them to oatmeal, yogurt, salads, and homemade on-the-go snack mixes.

Kirkland Signature Organic Mixed Greens and Organic Broccoli always show up in my cart.

Frozen vegetables are one of my favorite ways to add more nutrients to meals while reducing food waste.

I keep bulk bags of Kirkland Signature Organic Mixed Vegetables and Broccoli Florets in my freezer to use in stir-fries, soups, grain bowls, and stews. Eating these vegetables is a great way to ensure you have balanced dinners, especially during busy weeks.
