I try to follow a Mediterranean-style diet. Here are 14 things I pick up at Costco and how I use them.

"When I visited Spain and Greece a few years ago, I fell in love with the gorgeous landscapes, the variety of cultures, and, of course, the incredible food. After I returned to the US, I tried to incorporate elements of my trip into my daily life, and one way I did so was by adopting a Mediterranean-style diet. To do so, I prioritize eating fresh produce, healthy fats, and whole grains while limiting my intake of processed foods, red meat, and refined sugars."

"I follow a Mediterranean-inspired diet and shop at Costco for fresh and frozen staples. Kirkland Signature salmon fillets, frozen berry blends, and stuffed peppers are essentials for me. I usually stock up on organic feta, pita chips, and hummus at Costco. Fortunately, eating this way hasn't been too difficult, especially since I have a Costco membership. At the wholesale retailer, it's easy for me to stock up on a variety of fresh, frozen, and ready-made foods that help me stick to my diet without overspending."

Travel experiences in Spain and Greece inspired adoption of a Mediterranean-style diet focused on fresh produce, healthy fats, and whole grains while limiting processed foods, red meat, and refined sugars. Costco membership enables bulk purchasing of fresh, frozen, and ready-made items that support this eating pattern affordably. Regular Costco staples include Kirkland Signature salmon fillets, frozen berry blends, stuffed peppers, organic feta, pita chips, and hummus. These items provide convenient proteins, fruits, vegetables, and snacks that simplify meal preparation and help maintain dietary goals without overspending.
