Costco is a bulk-sized beacon of savings in an otherwise expensive world. And it’s not just good because of the prices. The quality of their in-house brand, Kirkland, is often unparalleled. We spent all year sampling the delicious products Costco has to offer and we’ve settled on two that are our absolute favorites. Grab your membership card and head to the store to buy them ASAP.
Our favorite Costco bakery item is also one of the best Costco products we tried in 2023. The dough is flaky, the filling is creamy, and it’s sweet without being too sweet. There’s a hint of lemon zest in the cream cheese that brightens the entire pastry. If you had guests, they would be thrilled to wake up in the morning to a plate of these Costco cream cheese danishes. That being said, you can also just buy a case and enjoy them yourself. There’s no reason not to! They’re so affordable.
Costco makes the best shrimp cocktail you can buy at the grocery store by far. We were blown away by the plump and fresh shrimp. It tastes like a shrimp cocktail you’d get at a nice seafood restaurant. Not only is it the best grocery store shrimp cocktail, but it’s also the best Costco product we’ve tasted all year long. Grab one for your New Year’s Eve and your friends will think you’re very rich and classy.
