Costco Meats I Won’t Buy—and What I Eat Instead.
About this video
Kane tours Costco explaining which meats she personally skips and what she buys instead. She says she avoids rotisserie chicken, salami, pepperoni, ham and many beef jerkies because of added sugar, dextrose, modified starch, carrageenan and other ingredients, and she avoids tuna over mercury concerns in her view, favouring sardines which she says are lower in mercury and higher in omega-3s. She advises choosing 100 percent beef hot dogs and jerky with simple ingredients. To save money, Kane suggests asking for a 10-pound ground beef pack, buying a whole ribeye to cut herself, buying in bulk from a local farm, and building several meals she prices around $4.99, including burger patties, taco bowls and slow-cooker meals.
