"I buy walnuts and other nuts in bulk at Costco. The price is cheaper per ounce than at a regular supermarket, and you can keep the larger amount in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness. Nuts are a must in my house for salads and adding to yogurt and different vegetable side dishes. They pack protein, fiber, and minerals that make it a valuable item to stock in your house!" — Jackie Arnett Elnahar, RD, CEO of Teladietitian
"Nuts are a great on-the-go snack, a source of healthy fats and key nutrients that can help curb those midday hunger pains without going overboard. I also love throwing a few in my yogurts or morning oats." — Lorraine Chu, MS, RDN, founder of CacaoCachu.com
"I always buy mixed nuts in bulk. Mixed nuts are full of healthy fats, protein, and fiber, making them the perfect snack to hold you over until your next meal. They can also get expensive when not buying in bulk, so I always make sure to stock up when making my trip to Costco. " — Laurel Ann Deininger, MS, RD, CDE
"Almonds, pistachios, walnuts, mixed nuts — you cannot beat the price for the quantity and quality of nuts available at Costco. I love to throw some over a salad to add a crunchy bite, mix some into a bowl of oatmeal, add some to my favorite chocolate chip recipe, or use some in a batch of homemade granola or trail mix. I always keep some in our car as a quick, easy snack." — Crystal Karges, MS, RDN
