What to Buy at Costco This Week: May 4, 2026

A ton of new products just hit Costco. An embarrassment of riches, really. I tried to cover an array of grocery scenarios—you’ve got something for snack time, a hefty dinner option, and something to have around for dessert. Here’s what to keep an eye out for at Costco this week.

Kirkland Signature Sea Salt Popcorn with Coconut Oil

Costco’s changing up their popcorn game! Sometimes you just don’t want a bag of popcorn that’s slathered in fake butter. This dainty popcorn spritzed with coconut oil and sprinkled with sea salt is a breath of fresh air. Coincidentally, these are travel-sized bags that would fit under your shirt. You know, in case you wanted to take them to a certain A-List theater chain.

Simple Mills Sweet Thins Variety Pack

I’m very pro having a sweet little something around the house that you can snack on at a moment’s notice that isn’t ice cream or cookies. This variety pack—which comes with two flavors, Honey Cinnamon and Chocolate—is perfect for couples that can’t quite ever agree on whether to have a chocolate or non-chocolate dessert.

Kirkland Signature Braised Beef with Yukon Mashed Potatoes

My Costco was giving out samples of this latest addition to the deli section and it slaps! It was well worth the many elbows I had to throw to get in there and get a sample. While I do think a meal with braised beef and hearty mashed potatoes is a little heavy for a non-winter month, I think I’ll still find myself grabbing this from time to time.

Protein Pop 30g Clear RTD Variety Pack

This one’s a selfish inclusion from my little Midwestern heart. I’m glad a company is finally standing up and calling soft drinks what they are: POP! I also appreciate that these protein drinks have lighter, more appealing flavors than the usual. The variety pack at Costco comes with mango peach, citrus, and orange cream flavors.

Rap Snacks Snoop Box Kettle Chips

Sporked covered Snoop Dogg’s line of kettle chips launching in Costco back in March, but I just spotted them in my Costco for the first time, though, so I’d be remiss not to give them a shoutout. You’ll find three flavors in this variety pack: Sour Cream, Cheddar + Ranch; “All In” (Snoop’s take on an all dressed chip made with salt and vinegar, cheddar, BBQ, onion, and garlic), and Maple BBQ.

Hot Dog and Water Combo

You can now get a bottled water instead of a soda with your $1.50 hot dog combo and this is great news for me, specifically. People who don’t drink pop (like me) always had to default to lemonade. I’m actually way too excited for this. Keep hydrated as the summer months come around with this swap at your local food court.
