I work in an office 5 days a week. Here's what I buy from Costco to help me avoid eating out.

• I work in an office five days a week, and I like to pack my own meals and snacks to save money. • I shop at Costco for frozen fruits, like cherries, blueberries, and mangoes, to use in smoothies. • Some of my favorite snacks are the Kirkland Signature chewy granola bars and Wonderful pistachios.

Earlier this year, I transitioned from a fully remote role to one that requires me to be in the office five days a week.

When I worked remotely, it was easy to pop into the kitchen and whip up a sandwich or salad, but now that I'm commuting, I have less time and need to be more intentional about prepping meals the night before.

I love shopping at Costco — both in-person and through online delivery — for easy breakfast ingredients, nutrient-rich snacks, and tasty, transportable lunches.
