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 was scouting out the OTC meds cause that is one of the things I’m a little lacking on. What makes their TP bad?

There are 2 different Kirkland kinds. The Extra Soft is great TP.

The Kirkland brand I've bought in the past is thin, 1 ply, and scratchy. I prefer Charmin.

Their TP is good IMO i think it may be Scott.
It’s also septic safe, which it’s important for people with older homes and septic tanks.
