Costco Run 🛒 — The Vegetarian High-Protein Haul
I do my groceries from Costco. Vegetarian, high-protein, and built to actually last the 2 or 3 weeks.
Here’s everything I grabbed, why it earns its spot, and I hope it helps you 👇 Scroll to check all pics : ) enjoy!

High protein doesn’t mean chicken and eggs. It means knowing your labels.
Costco Tips Before You Go
You need a membership. No membership, no entry. Non-negotiable.
Debit only — no credit cards (unless it’s their partner card). This catches people out constantly.
Want your credit card points? Buy a Costco gift card with your credit card first, then pay with the gift card in-store. Points earned, problem solved.
Go on a weekday. Weekends are chaos — packed lot, long lines. A Tuesday morning run is a completely different experience.
That’s the haul. High protein, vegetarian, and mostly prepped in one Sunday session.
