I pay for Costco’s $120 executive membership even though I only shop for 2. Here are some of my favorite things to get for breakfast.

• I regularly purchase breakfast essentials at Costco for my household of two.
• The Kirkland Signature smoked salmon and Boursin gournay cheese are delicious on toast.
• My wife loves mandarins and the Kirkland Signature creamy almond butter.

My household is small, with only my wife and me, but we love shopping at Costco to save money, especially as US food costs increase.

We pay $120 for an executive Costco membership, which saves us money by giving us up to $1,000 back on qualified purchases each year.

Since I work from home and my wife is a teacher, we prioritize buying quick, nutritious breakfast items we can grab before the workday starts. Here are 10 breakfast items we always keep on hand.
