While you might not consider nuts to be a food that spoils particularly quickly, those with a high fat content actually can go rancid after just a few months, which is why we think they're one of the foods you should never buy at Costco.

Trail mix is usually a mix of nuts, dried fruit, chocolate, or other ingredients, and while it's not difficult to craft your own (like a scrumptious pumpkin spice trail mix), it's still nice to buy a pack once in a while.

Wagyu has quietly, confidently risen through the ranks to take its status as one of the world's most coveted foods, counting only the likes of caviar, foie gras, and truffle as its contemporaries.
