Florida’s Favorite: The State’s Most Popular Costco Product
Some people are quick to show off their Costco finds on social media. This is especially true when it’s a local favorite. But what are some of Costco’s statewide favorite items? The coupon aggregation site CouponBirds.com looked at social metrics to determine which Costco products are the most popular purchases in each state.
Once you join Costco, it’s like stepping into a whole new world of shopping. You can grab everything from bananas to camping stuff at great prices. Plus, there are fun social media groups all about the best finds and fan favorites.
On a Reddit thread, someone shared how their got-to items include cherry preserves and peanut butter pretzels. One person said, “Heavenly Hunks oatmeal chocolate chip. These things are so good… they taste like you’re eating cookie dough.” Another person said, “Ribeye steak, Kirkland vodka, Charmin Ultra-Strong, frozen burger patties (whatever their most expensive kind is), and those big heavy-duty storage totes.”
USA Today reported that some of the Costco “cult favorites” include Three Berry Blend, golf balls, Utz Cheese Balls, Walnut Halves, and Cream Cheese Biscuits.
The most popular Costco products in Florida
According to the survey, Florida’s most popular Costco product is Kirkland Three Berry Blend. This product is also a favorite in Maryland. Some people on Reddit said they purchased this item because it’s good for smoothies or boozy drinks. Someone suggested, “yogurt, milk, vanilla protein powder” to get a Starbucks “frappe feel.” Another person suggested adding “Tequila, triple sec, frozen fruit, limes, and ice.”

Steer Clear: 8 Grocery Store Behaviors to Avoid
Going to the grocery store is a routine task for many of us. It’s a place where we gather the essentials of daily life, and it can be a bit of a chore. Supermarkets are often busy and filled with several shoppers, and the experience can sometimes be overwhelming. One factor that can significantly impact our grocery store trips is the behavior of fellow shoppers. Many of us have left the grocery store in a less-than-stellar mood, whether it’s due to pushiness, rudeness, or simply being inconsiderate.
Grocery Store Behaviors
Supermarkets are like mini universes where everyone’s in their own little world. As we navigate the aisles and make our selections, it’s important to be mindful of our actions and how they can affect others. Being a considerate grocery shopper means being aware of your surroundings and thinking about others. This involves avoiding behaviors such as blocking aisles with your cart, leaving your cart unattended in inconvenient spots, or engaging in loud phone conversations that can disturb others. Instead, keep your cart to one side, move efficiently, and keep noise levels considerate.
Respecting personal space is another key aspect of good grocery shopping etiquette. We all move at different paces when we shop. And nobody likes feeling crowded, especially when trying to pick out your cereal. Don’t tailgate fellow shoppers, and if someone’s in your way, just be patient or politely ask if you can “scooch” past.
When it comes to selecting products, don’t turn into the hoarder of items, which can lead to empty shelves and inconvenience for others. Buying up everything in sight just creates stress for others. Grab what you need and leave some for the rest of us, especially during those crazy times when everyone’s stocking up. Also, don’t open packages or start sampling stuff unless the store gives you the green light.
Grocery shopping etiquette might not be rocket science, but it sure makes life easier for everyone. Since we spend so much time in these stores, let’s make it a good experience for everyone. Just be mindful of what you’re doing, respect personal space, and don’t be a hoarder or a package opener. The next time you’re on a grocery shopping adventure, remember that a little consideration can go a long way in making it enjoyable for you and your fellow shoppers.
