10 Must-Try New Costco Items, Per a Costco Shopper

No matter how hard you try, it’s difficult to stick to your Costco shopping list without spontaneously throwing something into the cart. That’s because the warehouse is constantly getting fresh inventory, and the selection is often too good to pass up. 

Whether you’re heading in to stock up on paper products or get the best deals on household cleaners, one thing’s for sure—many Costco shoppers, like myself, are there to save on groceries. Some of the chain’s most popular products belong to the grocery department, such as the famous $4.99 rotisserie chicken. After all, food is Costco’s top-selling merchandise category. Here are Costco’s newest food finds to check out on your next grocery run.

Babybel Mini Snack Cheese

Cheese is a tasty source of protein, and Costco has some of the best cheeses. The warehouse now sells a 36-pack of Babybel cheeses, each one providing 4 grams of protein. Pair a couple of these with some fruit or veggies for a balanced snack on-the-go, or toss a couple of them in your insulated lunch bag. Oh, and each cheese comes out to under $0.50, so you’ll definitely save on Babybels by picking these up at Costco instead of the supermarket.

Cape Cod Kettle Cooked Potato Chips

Spring is here and summer is right around the corner, which means it’s almost backyard barbecue season. Grab a case of these kettle chips during your next Costco run because they go swell with burgers and hot dogs. The box contains 36 bags of chips in three fun flavors—Sea Salt & Vinegar, Original Sea Salt, and Sweet Mesquite Barbeque. These are also great for packing in lunches, or bringing to your kids’ classroom parties.

Solely Organic Fruit Jerky

Many of us could stand to eat more fruit, but fresh fruit can cost a pretty penny and go bad quickly. Fortunately, this Solely 16-pack of fruit jerky is now at Costco. Shoppers will get two flavors—mango and pineapple—which are made from real, organic fruit. They’re not just fruit flavored, nor are they sweetened with sugar or artificial ingredients. In fact, the mango strips contain one whole mango, and the pineapple contains half a pineapple—and nothing else.

Lorissa’s Kitchen Mini Beef Sticks

Chomp’s beef sticks are a popular Costco snack, but they’ve just been recalled. You can still get your protein fix with these new beef sticks sold at Costco. They’re smaller than Chomp’s—hence the word “mini” in the name—but still a good source of nutrients and free from common food allergens. Each stick contains 4 grams of protein from grass-fed beef. Individually wrapped, you could toss a couple of these in your lunch bag, or take them on the go.

Uncle Matt’s Organic Juice Drink, Strawberry Lemonade

Lemonade is arguably the most refreshing beverage on a warm day, but there’s a catch—it’s usually loaded with added sugar. Costco’s newest drink is sweetened with stevia and real fruit, so each serving contains just 1 gram of sugar, which is from the fruit itself. This case contains 32 shelf-stable juice boxes to fit neatly in kids’ lunches, but they’re also great for the whole family to enjoy.

belVita Breakfast Sandwich Biscuits, Dark Chocolate Creme

You can get these popular breakfast biscuits at most supermarkets, so why pick them up at Costco? Like many things sold in bulk, the price can’t be beat. You get 25 packs per box, each one containing two biscuits and coming out to less than $0.60 per serving. Made with whole grains, take these on the go for a quick weekday breakfast, or snack on them whenever you need a sweet but satiating pick-me-up.

Silk Non-Dairy Oatmilk Creamer Singles

If you can’t get your coworkers to stop using your coffee creamer, try keeping a few of these Silk creamer singles in your desk drawer instead. They’re shelf-stable, so they won’t go bad any time soon. Made with oat milk, they’re also non-dairy, but that doesn’t mean your coffee will taste bland or watered down. Oat milk makes your coffee super creamy, and they’re oatmeal cookie-flavored. Swirl these into hot or iced coffee—you can get the rest of your coffee products at Costco too.

Serendippity Peanut Butter Stix and Raspberry Jam

Sometimes you just need the nostalgic and comforting flavor of peanut butter and jelly, but if you don’t have time to make a pb&j sandwich, these snacks are the next best thing. They’re wafers filled with peanut butter and paired with raspberry jam for dunking. Pretty simple, but so satisfying when you need something to tide you over. They also provide a couple grams of fiber and protein each.

Organic Raw Kombucha, Guava Passionfruit

We all love a fizzy beverage to sip on in the afternoon, but it’s always better when it’s good for you, too. Costco now sells this 8-pack of kombucha—a popular fermented drink known for providing gut-friendly probiotics. Each one is flavored with sweet guava and passionfruit and packaged in sustainable glass bottles, which you can reuse or recycle.

Snak Club Snack Mix, Cajun Style

You can never have too many snacks, so here’s one more to grab for your pantry: Cajun-style snack mix. Each bag contains six smaller resealable bags for freshness. So, what’s in them? A medley of almonds, peanuts, sesame sticks, and corn nuts tossed in sweet and spicy Cajun seasonings. They’re not just tasty though—the nuts and seeds provide 5 grams of protein per serving.
