My Costco Vegan Food List

I’m sharing my favorite vegan food items at Costco.

Having a Costco membership with a large family is an absolute must-have.

We need the extra-large box of trash bags and endless toilet paper that are so cheap!

It also takes a lot to feed all 6 of us breakfast, lunch, and dinner each day.

There are many items we use on a regular basis when eating whole food plant-based.

If you are looking for a less restrictive food list, here is another Costco shopping list that is still healthy.

Best Vegan Items at Costco

If you are not familiar with Costco, you will need a membership to shop there.

No worries because you actually get a check back at the end of the year with two percent of your purchases back in cash. for us, it pays for our next year’s membership with quite a bit of extra money.

Now onto the best vegan items at Costco food list.

Nuts and Cashews at Costco

I can get a huge tub of organic raw cashews for $14.99 and we use it to make sauces and cream-based items. It’s the cheapest I’ve found by a lot.

They always have a good deal on their organic nuts like almonds, cashews, and peanuts as well.
