The fun about fall finds―well, besides finding them―is they all seem to make us feel just a bit cozy. Even though it’s not cold out yet, there’s just something warm and comforting about seeing fall-type products start lining store shelves.

And sure, Aldi has us craving some pumpkin-shaped chocolates, fine, but Costco seems to be raking in (pun intended) more than a few delicious fall finds of its own. We scoured the aisles to see what spicy, crisp, and otherwise comfy fall goodies Costco already has to offer.
24-pack Olipop Crisp Apple Soda – $54.99
Olipop’s doing a great job in the prebiotic soda scene in general, which is maybe why the 24-pack of the Crisp Apple Soda variety is only available online at the moment (and, at that price, you’ll really want to be invested). But considering the prebiotics and 9 grams of dietary fiber per can, it’s not a nutritionally void investment.
Kirkland Signature Cranberry Walnut Round Bread – $9.94
Not the snazziest find but definitely a fall favorite. Seriously, a hearty, semi-sweet bread with dried cranberries and rich walnuts will never fail once those mornings actually start to crisp (and then really) crisp up. The kind of thing we might ignore among the spicier, sweeter, caramel-coated fall favorites, but if you haven’t made autumnal toast part of your mornings yet, now is the time.
12-pack Apple Cider Donuts – $6.99
Made by Canadian-based CT Bakery and sold by the sparkly, sugary 12-pack, these apple cider donuts are a familiar fall favorite for Costco shoppers. And while we now can get some cider donut flavor out of our energy drinks, a bunch of us still prefer the classic autumnal real thing.
8-pack Pumpkin Streusel Muffins – $6.99
Another fall favorite, hotly (or crisply?) anticipated by Costco shoppers, the pumpkin streusel muffins have that coffee-cake vibe with the streusel topping and even though some customers aren’t super happy with some of the muffin changes Costco has made, clearly some are ready to brew some coffee and get autumnal.
12-pack La Colombe Pumpkin Spice Latte – $22.99
Of all the bottled and canned coffee brands we’ve tried, La Colombe maybe does the best job at delivering flavor at what feels like a discounted price. Of course, Costco prices are a bit higher if you’re buying in quantity, but you’ll get that La Colombe quality, here a smooth, usually richer coffee spiced up like all our favorite big chain PSLs and made with creamy whole milk.
18-pack Alani Nu Witch’s Brew Flavor Energy Drink – $22.59
We’ve tasted our fair share of Alani Nu, including the Witch’s Brew and we’re happy to see it back in all its tart green apple caramel glory.
2 16-ounce packs Organic Rana Savory Butternut Squash Ravioli – $11.99
We tend to put gourds in pretty much everything this time of year and ravioli is one of them―pumpkin and, like in these Organic Rana Ravioli, butternut squash make delicious, subtly sweet fillings that work well with sage, butter, parmesan, and whatever your cozy heart desires.
Kirkland Signature Chicken Pot Pie – $22.90
Yes, the ready-to-bake 5-pound chicken pot pie is back. All you need is a small army to consume it. A customer favorite made with all white meat from leftover house-made rotisserie chickens, it’s $3.99 per pound so usually weighs in around 20 bucks (if you can find it–people crave that coziness so much).
60-count Frito Lay Halloween Mini Treat Mix – $18.65
This one’s just good prep for Halloween, though it also doubles as a great snack option for those school lunches you’re already packing (or about to pack). You’ll get 0.5 ounces of Cheetos, Doritos, Sun Chips, Funyuns, and Rold Gold Pretzels. (Come to think of it, the box might not last ’til Halloween―buy two?).
