Shopping at Costco is like a treasure hunt. It’s frequently more than a typical store visit. You never know what stellar bargain awaits. Costco knows this excitement well. They even label a location on their website “Treasure Hunt.” Members rummage for items they didn’t even realize they required. This week has some great steals for home cooks.
1. Kitchen Tools That Matter
Great kitchen equipment can change the way you cook. Costco customers sing the praises of a well-loved knife set, the Henckels 14-piece set. For just $129, it’s an intelligent bargain for a kitchen staple. Think of having a great knife for each job. It’s a discovery home cooks adore.
What’s so great about it? One consumer called it “better than average.” It’s not hex-level, but it does a great job at home. Most home chefs don’t require high-end equipment, just a reliable one. These knives are well-balanced, sharp, and easy to use, and this makes cooking a whole lot easier.
Including the $129 cost, it’s a strong contender. One of our experts called it “an excellent buy.” A hardwood knife block is included, and there’s a $70 markdown off its previous price of $199, making the value obvious.
2. Food Staples Worth Snatching
Canned and frozen foods also receive Treasure Hunt treatment. Costco’s signature is bulk deals.
Kirkland Grass-Fed Beef Patties: Perfect for summertime grilling, now $26.43 (originally $32.43). Members pick them up fast.
Foster Farms Crispy Chicken Wings: $18.71 this week. Quick to prepare in the air fryer. “The wings were tender,” reported one shopper after only a few minutes of additional cooking time.
Kirkland Frenched Lamb Rack: Around $22.31 per package. Customers grill them after marinating overnight and rave about Costco lamb being exceptionally good every time.
Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream Bars: $12.27, reduced from $15.77. Some like them better than the Kirkland version, complaining the latter is waxier in texture.
3. Home Essentials and Pet Supplies
Aside from food, Costco provides bargains for the entire home.
Huggies Pull-Ups Plus: $31.99, reduced from $39.99. The cute prints make potty training a breeze for children.
Nutramax Cosequin Pet Supplement: $54.99, down from $74.99. Vets suggest it for older pets with mobility problems. One member reported it made a noticeable difference for their dog.
Colgate Total Toothpaste: $12.99, down from $18.99. It’s a good time to stock up on essentials. Even one shopper recounted a nostalgic memory of returning to the brand.
4. Wins for Drinks and Snacks
It’s simple to stay hydrated and full between meals at Costco.
San Pellegrino Sparkling Water: Now $20.11 after the $5.50 discount. A clever soda alternative, refreshing and crisp. One skeptical customer fast became a convert.
Wonderful Pistachios (3 lbs): $16.99, from $20.99. A salty snack delight. “Can’t beat the price and the taste,” remarked one member. Another loved their freshness and strong flavor.

6. Condiments & Sauces: Ranked Picks at Costco
Condiments will elevate any home-cooked dinner. Costco’s Kirkland Signature is full of favorites. Here are the top 16, listed in order of value, flexibility, and flavor.
1. Kirkland Signature Organic Blue Agave
Two 36-ounce bottles, $10.99. It is organic and light but primarily just adds sweetness. If you require an organic sweetener, it does the trick but has less versatility.
2. Kirkland Signature Wildflower Honey
Five-pound container for $14.99. Grade A, Kosher, and True Source Certified. Great value, but the large size is tough for casual users before it hardens.
3. Kirkland Signature Organic Tomato Sauce
Twelve 15-ounce cans for $13.99. Versatile for many dishes, though not flavorful alone. You’ll need to season it, but the price makes it worth stocking.
4. Kirkland Signature Organic Pure Maple Syrup
One liter for $14.99. Good for breakfast, but not as versatile in general. A large bottle that occupies space, but perfect for those who love maple syrup.
5. Kirkland Signature Organic Marinara Sauce
Three 860ml jars for around $20. Some customers felt it tasted too canned-like in flavor, even with quality ingredients.
6. Kirkland Signature Organic Raw Honey
Three 24-ounce jars. Raw and Grade A. Suitable for beverages or snacks, but not as versatile as other pantry items.
7. Kirkland Signature Heavy Whipped Cream
Three 15-ounce cans. A classic sweet topping for desserts. Excellent texture, but of little use in most culinary preparations.

Two bottles per package. A versatile product for chips, tacos, and sandwiches. Some people like different textures or spice levels, so reviews are mixed.
9. Kirkland Signature Organic Strawberry Spread
