Chefs are adept at buying things in bulk. This is how they acquire ingredients for their restaurants — ordering large quantities of each item needed from food distributors like Baldor or local purveyors. Placing ingredient orders in bulk is a crucial part of keeping restaurant food affordable because it allows chefs to benefit from lower per-unit costs when purchasing at once.

When shopping for their own kitchens, many chefs employ a similar approach, turning to a major grocery store known for its bulk bundles: Costco. You don’t have to be a professional chef to take advantage of the discounts you can get at this sprawling retailer, but you can follow culinary experts’ advice to identify the products that provide the biggest savings when shopping at the membership-based chain.

Some products are cheaper at Costco because they’re sold in bulk, while others are priced lower than competitors even without buying in large quantities. In any case, this superstore provides chances to save on some chef-approved items.

From luxury meats that are often too expensive to daily staples that you always need in stock, here are seven items that professional chefs recommend buying at Costco to save on your grocery bill.

Fishwife Albacore Tuna in Spicy Olive Oil

Costco has no shortage of canned tuna options, but 2019 F&W Best New Chef Caroline Glover prefers one in particular: Fishwife. “I’m so excited that Costco is carrying one of my favorite brands,” she notes.

In addition to its Smoked Rainbow Troutthe women-owned tinned fish company sells packs of three 3.2-ounce tins of Albacore Tuna in Spicy Olive Oil for around

at Costco — a much lower price than on Fishwife’s website, which offers a three-pack of the same size for $32. Glover explains that this is a versatile pantry staple, saying, “We usually always have a tuna salad in the fridge, but it’s also one of my go-to ingredients for veggie salads and dressings.”

Dish soap

2009 F&W Best New Chef Jon Shook isn’t a big bulk buyer when it comes to ingredients, but he does rely on Costco for everyday essentials like dish soap. “I love going to Costco,” he says. The same goes for 1997 F&W Best New Chef Keith Luce, who also turns to Costco for his daily cleaning supplies.

Costco sells giant jugs of dish soap that can be used to refill soap dispensers, like the 90-fluid-ounce container of Kirkland Ultra Shine Dish Soapwhich costs just $10, or a massive box of The Unscented Company’s soap refill boxwhich rings in at $55 for 338 fluid ounces.

Steak

“Items I love buying in bulk from Costco are whole primals such as rib eyes or New York strip steaks,” says 2011 F&W Best New Chef Viet Pham. According to Pham, stocking your freezer with pre-portioned fillets from Costco is much economical than purchasing individual steaks as needed.

Cascahuín Plata 48 Tequila

“Now that I don’t have a restaurant and access to wholesale purchasing, I buy quite a lot at Costco,” notes 1995 F&W Best New Chef Traci des Jardins. “If you go frequently, there are some amazing finds.”

Along with caviar, charcuterie, and fancy cheese, des Jardins always keeps an eye out for premium tequila, and she recently spotted one of her favorites: Cascahuín Plata 48%. Other customers have also managed to snag this premium bottle at the superstore, reporting a price of $70, about $15 less than its listed price at many online retailers.

If you can’t track this offering down at your local Costco, you can always opt for the one-liter bottle of Kirkland Signature Reposado Tequila instead, a value offering at $16.

A one-liter bottle of the Tunisian olive oil will cost you $20 on the Terra Delyssa website, but at Costcoyou can score two one-liter bottles for nearly the same total price at just $20 for the duo.
