What's Trending at Costco This Week (10/11-10/17)

Get ready to clear some serious pantry space! My latest Costco run was a total whirlwind of seasonal treats, high-end snacks that feel like a steal, and some seriously viral bakery finds that are currently flying off the shelves. Whether you’re hunting for the ultimate party appetizer or a cozy breakfast upgrade, the warehouse is absolutely firing on all cylinders this week.

1. Kirkland Signature Coconut Water – $14.99

Kirkland Signature Coconut Water

This organic coconut water is 100% juice with no added sugar, sourced from organic coconuts in western Thailand. The 6-count of 14 fl oz bottles must be kept refrigerated and features a naturally occurring light pink color from antioxidants.

You’ll swear this is a total dupe for the expensive Harmless Harvest brand because the taste is remarkably fresh and crisp. The pink hue is a sign of quality, and you’ll find it far superior to the shelf-stable cartons that can sometimes taste a bit metallic. It’s significantly less sweet than other major brands, which makes it incredibly refreshing after a workout.

Takeaway: Keep these in the coldest part of your fridge and drink them within five days of opening for the best taste.


2. Kirkland Signature Black Label Cashews – $46.99

Kirkland Signature Black Label Cashews

Kirkland Signature Cashews Black Label features W180 jumbo-size cashews, known as the “King of Cashew,” which are roasted in oil and seasoned with sea salt. This exclusive product comes in two 38 oz glass jars with stainless steel lids to maintain moisture levels and freshness.

You’ll feel like you’ve been upgraded to first class when you try these, as they are nearly double the size of standard supermarket nuts. The texture is incredibly buttery and creamy, and the crunch is way more satisfying than the regular plastic tub variety. You’ll definitely want to keep the glass jars for pantry storage once the nuts are gone because they are high-quality and look great on a shelf.

Takeaway: Splurge on these for holiday hosting—they are a massive step up from everyday snacking nuts.


3. Kirkland Signature Farm-Raised Shrimp – $17.99

Kirkland Signature Farm-Raised Shrimp

This 2 lb resealable bag contains tail-off, peeled, and deveined farm-raised raw shrimp with a count of 50-70 per pound. Sourced from Vietnam, these shrimp contain no preservatives or added chemicals and are frozen quickly to maintain freshness.

You’ll appreciate the convenience of having these peeled and ready to go for those 5 p.m. dinner panics. While some think shell-on shrimp has a slightly sweeter flavor, these are surprisingly clean-tasting and rich for a frozen product. They hold their shape well during cooking, though you should be careful not to overdo it to keep that delicate creaminess.

Takeaway: A perfect freezer staple for anyone who wants a high-quality protein without the messy prep work.


4. Kirkland Signature Irish Whiskey – $31.29

Kirkland Signature Irish Whiskey

This 1.75 L bottle of Irish Whiskey is a product of Ireland, 80 proof, and contains 40% alcohol by volume. It is aged for 4 years and features aromatic notes of licorice, caramel, orange, and toffee with a spicy finish.

You shouldn’t expect to sip this neat like a rare vintage, but for the price, it’s an absolute workhorse for your home bar. It has a bit of a spicy “burn” that some critics might dislike, but that punch actually helps it stand up beautifully when mixed with heavy ingredients. It’s a respectable, affordable bottle that gets the job done without breaking the bank.

Takeaway: Buy this for large parties or cocktails where you don’t want to waste your expensive bottles.


5. Kirkland Signature In-Shell Pistachios – $19.99

Kirkland Signature In-Shell Pistachios

These US Extra #1 roasted and salted California pistachios come in a 3 lb bag and are naturally opened. They are certified Kosher, cholesterol-free, and trans-fat-free, providing a high-grade snacking option.

You’ll be impressed by how few “duds” are in this bag; almost every nut is large and practically falls out of the shell. They have a perfect salt balance that makes them way more addictive than the more expensive name brands you see at other stores. It’s a gourmet-quality snack for a fraction of the price, and they stay incredibly fresh in that big resealable bag.

Takeaway: This is one of the best value-per-pound items in the entire warehouse for healthy snacking.


6. Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Pastries – $13.61

Kirkland Signature Peaches and Cream Pastries

These seasonal pastries feature flaky, buttery, croissant-style dough surrounding jammy peaches and a creamy mixture of Greek yogurt and cream cheese. Each 8-count pack is finished with a sweet apricot glaze for a glossy look.

You’ll likely find yourself finishing a whole pack of these faster than you’d like to admit because that creamy filling is perfection. The apricot glaze adds a nice little crackle to the top that makes them feel much fancier than a typical grocery store pastry. If the dough feels a bit soft, just pop them in the air fryer for a minute to revive that buttery, flaky crunch.

Takeaway: Buy these the moment you see them—they are seasonal and disappear quickly once fall hits.


7. Kirkland Signature Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans – $9.69

Kirkland Signature Organic Madagascar Vanilla Beans

Each jar contains 20 whole organic Madagascar vanilla bean pods. These fragrant beans are a premium baking staple offered at a significant value compared to traditional grocery store pricing.

You’ll be shocked at the quality of these beans, which are plump, oily, and incredibly fragrant right out of the jar. They are the absolute gold standard for any home baker, offering a depth of flavor you just can’t get from a bottle of extract. At this price point, you can afford to use them in every holiday recipe without feeling guilty.

Takeaway: Stock up now for holiday baking because these beans have a cult following and sell out fast.


8. Kirkland Signature Egg Bites – $12.59

Kirkland Signature Egg Bites

These fully cooked, refrigerated egg bites are made with cage-free egg whites, uncured bacon, and a blend of Monterey Jack and Gouda cheeses. Each 21 oz package provides five servings with 11g of protein per serving and is certified gluten-free.

You’ll find these are a remarkably close dupe for the famous coffee shop version, though the texture is a bit more “pudding-like” than bready. The smokiness from the bacon is much more pronounced here, which I personally think makes them taste a bit more savory and satisfying. They are the ultimate time-saver for anyone who needs a high-protein breakfast that doesn’t taste like cardboard.

Takeaway: Heat these in the air fryer at 370°F for about 10 minutes to get the best possible texture.


9. Nature Valley Protein Bars (Yellowstone Edition) – $15.79

Nature Valley Protein Bars (Yellowstone Edition)

This 3 lb 3.12 oz box features gluten-free, naturally flavored protein bars with no artificial flavors or sweeteners. This limited-edition version supports the National Park Foundation.

You’ll love the sweet and salty balance of these, which makes them feel more like a treat than a typical chalky protein bar. They are much sturdier than the crumbly granola bars you might be used to, so they won’t fall apart in your gym bag. It’s a solid bulk buy if you need a reliable, clean-label snack that actually satisfies a sugar craving.

Takeaway: A great value-sized snack for anyone who wants a decent protein hit without artificial junk.


10. Kirkland Signature Jasmine Rice – $27.99

Kirkland Signature Jasmine Rice

This 25 lb bulk bag features naturally fragrant long-grain white jasmine rice from Thailand. It is a certified Kosher product and a foundational pantry staple.

You’ll notice the incredible floral aroma the second you open the bag, and it cooks up perfectly fluffy every single time. If you’ve been buying small bags at the grocery store, switching to this bulk size is one of the easiest ways to save money on your monthly grocery bill. It’s the perfect, high-quality base for almost any meal you can think of.

Takeaway: Store it in a large airtight container to keep that signature fragrance fresh for months.


11. Fairlife Nutrition Plan Protein Shakes – $42.99

Fairlife Nutrition Plan Protein Shakes

This 18-pack of shakes provides 30g of protein and only 2g of sugar with 150 calories per serving. Made with ultra-filtered, lactose-free milk, they contain no artificial growth hormones.

You’ll quickly realize why these have a cult following—they actually taste like a creamy chocolate milkshake rather than a watery protein drink. There is absolutely zero chalky aftertaste, which is a rare find in the world of high-protein supplements. When these go on sale, they disappear in minutes, so if you see them in stock, do not hesitate.

Takeaway: Buy the maximum limit allowed—these are the absolute gold standard for grab-and-go protein.


12. Ritual Prenatal Multivitamins – $54.99

Ritual Prenatal Multivitamins

This 2-month supply of 120 vegan capsules features 12 key nutrients including folate, choline, and Omega-3 DHA. The vitamins are Non-GMO Project Verified, gluten-free, and designed with chelated iron to be gentle on the stomach.

You’ll love that these are formulated with folate instead of folic acid, and the citrus-scented tab is a game-changer if you’re dealing with morning queasiness. While they are a premium-priced supplement, getting them at the warehouse price is significantly cheaper than a direct subscription. They are clean, traceable, and much easier to swallow than those giant “horse pill” prenatals.

Takeaway: Take them at night right before bed to help avoid any potential digestive burps.


13. Costco Buttermilk Biscuits – $7.93

These large, homemade-style buttermilk biscuits are sold in a convenient 10-count clamshell for a value price. They are found in the bakery section and offer a bulky, pre-baked option for quick meals.

You’ll love the massive size of these, but don’t expect them to fully replace a southern scratch-made biscuit. They are great for when you’re too busy to flour the counters, though some find the texture a bit dense. If you’re looking for a filling base for a heavy breakfast, these definitely get the job done.

Takeaway: Perfect for a stress-free weekend brunch when you have a crowd to feed.


14. Tyson Spooky Chicken Nuggets – $13.99

This 5 lb bag features seasonal chicken nuggets shaped like pumpkins, bats, and ghosts for Halloween. They are a festive, frozen staple found in the freezer aisle during the autumn months.

You’ll lose your mind over the nostalgia factor here, and your kids will obviously be obsessed with the shapes. They actually crisp up quite well in an air fryer, staying much firmer than you’d expect for a shaped nugget. While the flavor is standard Tyson fare, the festive shapes make dinner feel like a celebration rather than a chore.

Takeaway: Grab these early in October because they tend to vanish as Halloween gets closer.


15. Kirkland Signature Lemon Cream Caramelized Croissants – $12.99

These croissants are baked in round paper liners with flaky pastry folded over a soft, tangy lemon cream center. They are topped with a butter streusel and feature a sweet, crunchy caramelized bottom from sugar placed in the cups before baking.

You’ll love the intense balance of sweet and tangy here; the lemon filling is bright enough to cut through the rich, buttery pastry. The caramelized bottom is the absolute star, adding a surprise crunch that makes these way more interesting than a standard croissant. They are honestly one of the best things to ever come out of the bakery department.

Takeaway: If you loved the viral blueberry version, these are a mandatory purchase on your next trip.


16. ¡Hola! Churros – $16.67

These frozen double-twisted churros are sold in a 30-count box and are made by the same supplier used in famous theme parks. They are designed to be light and fluffy on the inside with a crispy exterior once heated.

You’ll feel like you’ve skipped the theme park lines and brought the magic home with these, especially since they come out so well in the air fryer. They are significantly better than the old food court churros, offering a much more authentic crunch and flavor. You’ll find yourself reaching for a second (or fourth) one before you even realize it.

Takeaway: Keep these in your freezer for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert that tastes professional.


17. Kirkland Signature Peppermint Bark – $11.34

This 21 oz seasonal holiday candy features layers of dark chocolate and white chocolate topped with crushed peppermint candy. It is a limited-time bakery item that has returned early for the winter season.

You’ll be thrilled that this is back early because it’s basically “Christmas crack” in a container. The ratio of mint to chocolate is spot on, and the chocolate is much better quality than those individually wrapped brands you find elsewhere. It’s incredibly addictive, so don’t be surprised if the whole container disappears in one evening.

Takeaway: The price has actually dropped this year, making it a great time to stock up for holiday gifting.


18. Fresh Ahi Poke – $18.99

This fresh seafood dish is sold by the pound in the deli section and features marinated ahi tuna. It is often served as part of a temporary “roadshow” setup in select warehouse locations.

You’ll be impressed by the buttery quality of the fish, which tastes remarkably fresh even if you aren’t shopping in Hawaii. It’s a fantastic, high-protein lunch option that feels like a total luxury compared to your standard deli salads. Just make sure to check if your location is hosting the seafood roadshow, as it usually only pops up on weekends.

Takeaway: Buy this the day it arrives for the absolute best texture and flavor.


19. Pumpkin & Bats Ravioli – $11.34

Nuovo Pasta Pumpkins & Bats Ravioli
Product image: Costco.

This 32 oz pack of festive refrigerated ravioli features pumpkin and bat shapes in seasonal colors. It is a limited-time fall offering found in the refrigerated deli section.

Your dinner table will instantly look more festive with these, and they are a massive hit with kids who love the spooky shapes. They hold their shape surprisingly well during boiling, so you won’t end up with a plate of unidentifiable mush. While the flavor is fairly standard for a cheese ravioli, the fun factor makes it a mandatory fall purchase.

Takeaway: A fun and incredibly easy weeknight meal to get the family into the Halloween spirit.


20. Norse Roots Beef Tallow Potato Sticks – $7.64

These kettle-style potato sticks are fried in beef tallow rather than traditional seed oils. They are marketed as a nostalgic snack with a unique flavor profile.

You might find these a bit polarizing—they have a very rich, savory depth that some people find totally addictive and others find a bit too “heavy.” The crunch is incredibly stout and sturdy, making them the ultimate vehicle for heavy dips. While the tallow hype is real, the flavor is definitely more intense than your standard potato chip, so be prepared.

Takeaway: Grab a bag if you’re avoiding seed oils, but know the flavor is much bolder than a regular chip.


Previously Trending

1. Sea Cuisine Tortilla Crusted Tilapia – $16.89

Sea Cuisine Tortilla Crusted Tilapia

These premium tilapia fillets are encrusted in a chef-inspired blend of corn tortilla chips, chipotle pepper, and garlic. Each 32 oz carton is ASC-certified and contains approximately 8 servings with 17g of protein and a healthy dose of Vitamin D.

If you’re looking for a flaky fish with a serious crunch, you’ll love how these hold up in a tortilla without falling apart. While the oven works fine, you definitely need to use your air fryer at a high heat to get that crispy “Baja-style” texture that makes these a cult favorite. It’s a mild, slightly sweet fish that won’t overwhelm your palate with a heavy seafood taste.

Takeaway: This is the ultimate shortcut for a high-protein weeknight taco night.


2. Kirkland Signature Organic Peanut Butter – $11.69

Kirkland Signature Organic Peanut Butter

This organic creamy peanut butter is made from dry-roasted organic peanuts and sea salt. It is USDA Organic and Kosher, sold in a two-pack of 28 oz jars.

You’re getting the best-tasting organic PB on the market for an unbeatable price, but be prepared for a bit of a workout when you first open it. Pro tip: store the jars upside down for a day before opening to make the mixing process much easier. Once it’s creamy, you’ll love the simple, pure peanut flavor that blows those sugary name brands out of the water.

Takeaway: This is a pantry essential for anyone who wants high-quality ingredients without the high-end grocery store price tag.


3. SPAM Variety Pack – $59.99

SPAM Variety Pack

This limited-edition 8-can variety pack features multiple flavors including 25% Less Sodium, Teriyaki, and Jalapeno. It is a shelf-stable staple sold in a bulk format.

You’re going to have a blast experimenting with these different flavors, especially the Jalapeno if you like a nice little kick in your breakfast. It’s a fantastic value compared to buying individual cans at a standard grocery store, making it a dream for your pantry stock. You’ll find the Teriyaki version is a total game-changer for quick homemade musubi.

Takeaway: Grab this variety pack to liven up your pantry staples with some spicy and savory options.


4. Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks – $15.00 – $18.00

Kirkland Signature Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks

These fully cooked chicken breast chunks come in a 4-pound bag and are raised with no antibiotics. Each serving provides 16g of protein and can be prepared in an air fryer or oven.

You’ll officially retire your drive-thru habit once you taste these air-fried—they are essentially a high-end restaurant dupe for a much better price. They come out crispy and juicy every time, though some of you might find them a bit on the salty side. Be careful with quality control as you might occasionally find a chewy bit, but the value for 22 servings is simply unbeatable.

Takeaway: Always use the air fryer at 360 degrees for 10 minutes to get that perfect crunch.


5. Kirkland Signature Côtes de Provence Rosé – $109.99

Kirkland Signature Côtes de Provence Rosé

Produced by 8th generation vintner Olivier Sumeire, this wine features grapes from the terroirs of Trets, Cuers, and Pierrefeu. It offers a pale pink color with notes of litchi, cherry blossom, and tangerine zest in a 750 ml 12-pack.

You’ll find this is the ultimate “buy it while you see it” wine because it vanishes from the pallets as soon as the weather warms up. It’s exceptionally dry and crisp with a zesty minerality that makes it feel much more expensive than the break-down price per bottle. While buying a whole case feels like a lot, it’s a steal for a high-quality French rosé that beats most name brands.

Takeaway: If you spot these on a pallet, grab a case immediately because they rarely last through the weekend.


6. Kirkland Signature Chardonnay – $14.19

This California white wine is cellared and bottled in Modesto, California, by DC Flynt MW Selections. It features ripe notes of tropical fruit and sweet citrus with a classic oaky finish and 13.5% ABV.

You’re going to love this if you’re looking for a “New World” style that’s buttery but not so over-oaked that it tastes bitter. It’s an incredible value for a massive 1.5-liter bottle, and it holds its own against bottles twice the price in blind tastings. Some of you might find it a bit standard, but for a daily drinker, it’s hard to find a better balance of fruit and acidity.

Takeaway: Keep a bottle in the fridge for a reliable, high-value white wine that pairs with almost any dinner.


7. Kirkland Signature Heart Healthy Mixed Nuts – $14.49

Kirkland Signature Heart Healthy Mixed Nuts

This nutrient-dense mix includes dry-roasted almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, and pistachios. It is a sodium-free, high-fiber snack option that is Kosher certified.

You’ll find this is a solid, salt-free snack for when you’re trying to be healthy, but there’s a weird mystery here—many bags seem to contain cashews even though they aren’t on the label. This is a bit of a “buyer beware” if you have specific nut allergies, but for most of you, it’s just extra value. The nuts are always crunchy and fresh, making them a top-tier pantry staple.

Takeaway: Check the bag carefully if you have a cashew allergy, but otherwise, it’s a top-tier healthy snack.


8. Veggies Made Great Spinach Egg White Frittatas – $10.99

Veggies Made Great Spinach Egg White Frittatas

These individually wrapped frittatas are made with cage-free egg whites, spinach, mozzarella, tomatoes, onions, and red bell peppers. Each frittata is 70 calories and the box contains 20 units.

You’ll be obsessed with how light and fluffy these are, especially considering they come out of a freezer bag. They are the perfect “emergency” breakfast for those mornings when you have zero time but still want something that tastes gourmet. While they’re small, they pack a surprising amount of savory flavor from the mozzarella, and you won’t feel guilty about grabbing two or three.

Takeaway: Use the microwave for speed, but pop them in the toaster oven for a few minutes if you want a firmer texture.


9. Twisted Churro – $1.49

This food court staple features a twisted dough coated in a heavy dusting of cinnamon and sugar. It has recently returned to the menu as a fan-favorite grab-and-go treat.

You’re going to love the classic sugary crunch, but be warned that some locations might be serving stock that feels a bit firm. If you find yours isn’t quite as fresh as you’d like, you might want to take it home and pop it in the air fryer for a minute to bring back that deep-fried magic. It is narrow and easy to eat while walking to the car, making it a solid, cheap post-shopping reward.

Takeaway: Grab one for a buck-fifty before they disappear from the menu again.


10. Large Caramel Apples – $5.33

These limited-time fall treats feature large apples dipped in caramel and covered in various sweet toppings like nuts, cookie pieces, and chocolate. They are produced by the Candy and Chocolate Company and are typically found during Special Events Roadshows.

You’ll be stunned by the sheer size of these—they are literally as big as snow globes and can be quite the investment. While they are a bit pricey for raw fruit, the yin-yang balance of the crisp, tart apple and the buttery-sweet caramel goo is undeniably addictive. Just watch your teeth on the harder toppings, and you might want to slice them into wedges rather than biting in directly.

Takeaway: Check your local warehouse roadshow schedule so you don’t miss these before they travel to the next city.


11. Kirkland Signature Beef Chili – $18.35 /pkg

Kirkland Signature Beef Chili
Product image: Costco.

This hearty 4-pound deli staple features pre-cooked ingredients and is sold cold for easy reheating. It is priced at approximately $4.53 per pound and is designed to serve six to eight people.

You might think $18 is steep for chili, but once you realize it’s a massive four-pound tub, you’ll see the value for your meal prep. It’s a meaty stew that some fans actually swear by eating cold, though you’ll likely want to heat it up for that “unreal” autumn flavor. If you can’t finish it all in one go, don’t worry because it actually freezes surprisingly well.

Takeaway: Buy this for a zero-effort Sunday football meal that satisfies the whole crowd.


12. Blueberry Cheesecake Croissant – $14.74

This caramelized bakery find is known for its sweet sugar topping and gooey blueberry cheesecake filling. It is sold in a package of six large pastries.

You have to try the air fryer hack—three minutes at 335 degrees makes these absolutely legendary. The heat caramelizes the sugar edges and turns the blueberry interior into molten goodness that rivals any high-end bakery. You’ll find yourself buying multiple boxes just to freeze half, ensuring you have a steady supply of these decadent treats.

Takeaway: Keep them in their individual baking cups when reheating to retain that precious caramelized bottom.


13. Costco Ramen Kits – $12.99/kg

The Kirkland Signature Pork Belly Ramen Kit contains eight chashu braised pork slices, six soy-marinated eggs, shoyu ramen broth, ramen noodles, and green onions. The components are individually packaged to maintain freshness.

You’ll appreciate that the noodles and toppings are kept separate to prevent sogginess, which is a huge win for a pre-made deli kit. While the pork and eggs are high quality and delicious, you might find the broth a bit thin and lacking depth on its own. You’ll want to doctor it up at home with extra spices or a splash of sesame oil to really make it sing.

Takeaway: A solid, convenient option for a quick lunch if you’re willing to add a few of your own pantry staples.


14. Roasted Veggie Cauliflower Crust Pizza – <$10.00

This gluten-free frozen pizza from Milton’s features a cauliflower crust topped with roasted vegetables. It is sold as a two-pack and frequently features a significant October price cut.

Even if you’re a die-hard carb lover, you’ll be shocked at how tasty this cauliflower crust actually is when it’s baked directly on the rack. It’s thin and crispy, though some long-time buyers have noticed it has become a bit oilier with fewer veggies lately. It’s still an incredible deal while it’s under ten bucks, especially compared to the price of delivery.

Takeaway: Stock up while it’s on sale—it’s the perfect “emergency” healthy dinner for your freezer.


15. Pumpkin Streusel Muffins – $7.93

These seasonal bakery items feature a coffee-cake style streusel topping and a moist pumpkin-flavored interior. They are sold in the bakery department in an 8-pack.

If you’re a fan of that cozy coffee-house vibe, these are going to be your new morning obsession. Despite some recent grumbling about recipe changes in the bakery, these remain a heavy, moist, and perfectly spiced autumn staple. You’ll find they are massive, so you might end up cutting them in half to share—or just keep it all for yourself.

Takeaway: Grab a pack for your next office breakfast to immediately become everyone’s favorite person.


16. Costco Stir-Fry Prepared Meal – $22.00

The Honey Sesame Chicken Stir-Fry from the deli includes breaded chicken breast chunks, yakisoba noodles, stir-fry veggies, honey sesame sauce, and noodle sauce. It is intended to provide approximately five servings.

You might find the $22 price tag a bit steep for noodles and broccoli, but the convenience of having everything pre-portioned is hard to beat. The sauce is quite strong, so you’ll want to add it gradually to taste rather than dumping both packets in at once. It’s a great base, but you might find the chicken portions a bit light for a hungry family.

Takeaway: Sauté the veggies well before adding the noodles to ensure you get that perfect restaurant-style texture.


17. Kooshy Sourdough Stuffing Mix – $9.99

This 3-pack of stuffing mix is made with sourdough bread and designed for quick preparation. It can be ready to serve in about five minutes.

You’ll be amazed that a boxed stuffing can taste this much like a homemade sourdough loaf with that signature tangy kick. It’s incredibly convenient for those weeknights when you want a festive side dish without the holiday-level effort. If you find the texture a bit dry, just add an extra splash of broth or a pat of butter to bring it to life.

Takeaway: Buy a few packs now to stash in the pantry before the pre-holiday rush clears the shelves.


18. Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste – $22.69

This highly sought-after baking staple provides a large volume of vanilla bean paste for a competitive warehouse price. It is frequently compared to premium Madagascar vanilla products.

You’ll never go back to basic extract once you see those beautiful vanilla bean flecks in your frosting and cakes. It provides that high-end vanilla flavor profile that is usually impossible to find without spending a fortune at specialty shops. It’s an absolute must-buy for holiday bakers who want professional, fragrant results on a budget.

Takeaway: This is a seasonal must-buy for anyone planning to do a lot of holiday baking this year.


19. Kirkland Signature Chicken Pot Pie – $24.01 /pkg

This 5-pound deli favorite features rotisserie chicken meat and is priced at approximately $3.99 per pound. It is a seasonal, ready-to-bake meal that has returned for the fall.

You’ll need a small army to finish this five-pound behemoth, but every bite is pure comfort on a cold day. The crust is impressively flaky and the filling is packed with white meat, making it far superior to any frozen individual pie you’ve tried. Don’t forget to brush the top with an egg wash before baking to get that gorgeous, bakery-style golden sheen.

Takeaway: If you have leftovers, they hold up great for lunch the next day—if you can find room in your fridge for the massive tin!


20. Fresh Blueberries – $10.20

These fresh blueberries are sourced through a grower-owned network with family farms in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay. They are selected based on flavor, texture, and regional performance to ensure year-round availability.

You’ll find these are a bit of a “hit or miss” game depending on the week—sometimes they are giant and sweet, and other times they’ll have you puckering. When they are on, though, they are spectacular and way cheaper than the tiny pints at the supermarket. You’ll want to check the bottom of the container for any soft ones before you toss them in your cart.

Takeaway: Always wash them right before eating to keep them from getting mushy in the fridge.
