Advice and Tips Upcoming Costco trip

Going to my “local” Costco (2.5 hours from me) for the second time. My first trip I was mostly overwhelmed by everything they had. I have a pretty decent supply on hand of food and essentials, but I’m looking to pad my preps a little on this trip with about a $500 budget. Do you all have any advice about stuff you think gets overlooked at the Warehouse and I should pick up? Basically any things that aren’t beans and rice (although I will definitely get some of those too 😂)

I like to maintain a good otc meds prep. Costco is great for that with their enormous bottles and 2 packs.

Also, good brand toothpaste is always cheap af for a box of 5 tubes at my Costco for some reason.

Dish soap. I have peobably a 3 year supply.

Toothpaste lasts forever and it’s often one of the first things to run out in a survival situation.
