If a Costco run is part of your routine, here is a good reason to go sooner rather than later. The warehouse has a fresh batch of new and returning finds that shoppers are already snapping up, and some are starting to sell out.
Here are seven items worth putting on your list before they disappear from shelves.
A Cheesecake Worth the Trip Alone
The tiramisu cheesecake is back, and people are thrilled. This fan favorite returned to Costco’s bakery section this month and is already selling out at some locations. It features a chocolate graham cracker crust, cold brew-infused cheesecake filling, and whipped mascarpone on top.
At $23, it might sound like a splurge. But this beauty weighs 4.5 pounds and serves 12 to 16 people. That works out to a very reasonable dessert for your next family dinner or spring get-together.
A Comfort Food Classic, Ready to Bake
The Kirkland Signature BBQ Chicken Mac and Cheese with Bacon is another returning crowd-pleaser. It layers rotisserie chicken, pasta, bacon crumbles, cheddar cheese, and barbecue sauce into one hearty prepared dish. Pop it in the oven, and you will get bubbling, browned cheese on top. Perfect for a picnic or any gathering where you want to feed a crowd without fussing.
Snacks That Deliver Something Special
If you love a good crunch, the Boulder Canyon and Grillo’s Pickles Potato Chips are worth a look. These ridged, dill pickle-flavored chips are made with avocado oil. The seasoning includes white vinegar for tartness, along with notes of dill, garlic, and onion. They have made the rounds at Costco before and always go quickly when they return.
On the sweeter side, new Raspberry-Filled Sugar Cookies are getting a lot of attention. Shoppers describe them as pillowy-soft with raspberry jam inside, something like a jelly donut in cookie form. You get 15 cookies for $11, and some folks say they are even better enjoyed slightly chilled. They would be a lovely addition to a spring brunch table.
A Granola Worth Knowing About
The That’s It Strawberry Fruitola is a new granola arriving at Costco from a brand that already has a loyal following for its fruit bars. It has just four ingredients: apples, strawberries, and protein puffs made from rice starch and pea protein. One serving delivers 16 grams of protein and 7 grams of fiber. It is also free of the top 12 allergens, making it an easy breakfast or snack for just about anyone.
A Deal on Energy Drinks
Costco just launched its first energy drink under the Kirkland Signature label, and shoppers are already talking about the price. A 24-can pack runs about $17. For comparison, a 24-pack of the popular Celsius brand costs $38 at the same warehouse. The two drinks have the same amount of caffeine and are both sugar-free. The Kirkland version comes in peach, orange, and tropical fruit flavors.
Something Fun from the Freezer
Rounding out the list are Trolli Gummi Pops, a new addition to Costco’s freezer section. These fruity treats sit somewhere between a popsicle and a gummy candy; they are flexible rather than frozen solid. Flavors include very berry, grape, strawberry, and cherry lemon. A nice option to have on hand when the warmer days arrive.
As always with Costco’s limited-time items, there is no guarantee your local warehouse will keep restocking them. If something on this list is calling your name, it is worth making the trip sooner rather than later.
