Don’t Buy- Spices
When left sitting for too long, spices lose their flavor; thus, buying smaller packages is a smarter option. Costco’s spices come in large containers and are better for huge events or simply leave them for the Italian and Indian restaurants.
Buy- Vanilla
Spices may lose their flavor, but vanilla certainly does not. One of Costco’s massive bottles of vanilla extract is a great investment and will go a long way. Vanilla always comes in handy and is great to have to lie around the house for a spontaneous bake-off or brunch.
