Being a Costco member comes with innumerable benefits—bulk pricing is just *one* of them. The other are the only-at-Costco deals and products that you can’t access without being in the club. These 7 cult products are ones that all Costco members should try at least once in their lives, and they might even be a reason to get a card if you don’t have one already!
Sheet Cake
Costco’s sheet cakes are so cult that it was practically a national outrage when the chain moved them from shelves amid the coronavirus pandemic. You can still get the cakes for a steal of $19.99, via special order, in vanilla and chocolate.
$1.50 Hot Dog And Soda Special
The deal was introduced in 1985 and has remained unchanged since—a true rarity. That may be because the original founder of the warehouse club Jim Sinegal told incoming CEO Craig Jelinek that he would “kill” him if he raised the price of the iconic deal.
Pumpkin Pie
Obviously this is a seasonal item, but their famous 4-pound pumpkin pies are not to be missed. Set your calendars for late August when they’ve been known to start hitting shelves. Delish!
Bacon Crumbles
Costco’s bacon crumbles, for topping everything from salad to pizza, are a rare find because they’re made with 100% real bacon (versus other brands that are made out of soy). Bacon lovers, rejoice!
Peanut Butter Pretzels
This giant, 3-month supply tub of peanut butter pretzels costs just $10 and is salty and sweet, crunchy and creamy. I mean, does it get any better than that??
Rotisserie Chicken
Like everything at Costco, their rotisserie chicken is bigger than at other grocery stores. Or get the just meet version which comes without bones.
Colombian Coffee
Coffee snobs flock to this unlikely source of 100% Colombian coffee beans. Save yourself a lot of money on specialty coffee shop drinks by brewing it up at home. It won’t disappoint.
