  "account": "Rebecca Kaplan is a frequent Costco shopper who buys food and household items in bulk. She has been shopping there since childhood, often accompanying her parents. Now an adult, she consistently buys the same 10 items at Costco. The first item she never misses is Kirkland Signature toilet paper, which she finds comparable to the Angel Soft brand at a better price. Eggs are another staple, with her purchasing a 24-count of large white eggs for $4.83. She also always buys laundry detergent, Tide Free and Gentle Pods, and dishwasher detergent, Cascade Complete pods. Her husband enjoys Kirkland Signature canned tuna, albacore solid white, and chicken nuggets, which she buys weekly. Seasonal and novelty items, such as Reese's-inspired protein bars, also find their way into her cart. White bread is another bulk purchase, with Costco's two-pack of Pepperidge Farm bread being a favorite. Lastly, she enjoys browsing the aisles for fun drinks, such as Starburst-flavored Sparkling Ice, and protein pasta, Brami, which she finds delicious and a great way to increase protein and fiber intake.",
