Costco July Finds You Won't Want To Miss

Everyone’s favorite warehouse retailer just welcomed a whole bunch of exciting new arrivals to its aisles for July. That’s right: Your local Costco is now home to fresh picks that’ll make your month plenty sweeter (or perhaps more sour, if you’re a pickle enthusiast like me). Now that summer is in full swing at Costco, these are the snacks, sips, and standout sweet treats we can’t wait to add to our carts this month.

Afters Ice Cream Mini Sandos, Star Spangled Sammie: Fourth of July-themed foods abound right now (obviously, since America is celebrating the big ol’ 250), and you can add these perfectly-themed ice cream sandwiches to your summer barbecue menu. Whether you’ve just set fireworks off over the long weekend or simply love a good seasonal treat, a pack of Afters Ice Cream Mini Sandos decked out in red, white, and blue sprinkles is the perfect way to wind down—no spoon required.
Alani Nu Energy Cotton Candy Variety Pack: Swap your usual iced coffee or cold brew for the newest Alani Nu flavor to hit your local Costco: Cotton Candy. It’s a seasonal sip that’ll remind you of summers spent at amusement parks, county fairs, and festivals. This 18-pack is sweet and caffeinated, meaning you’ll have plenty of cans to reach for to beat that mid-afternoon slump. Plus, it includes the Purple Cotton Candy flavor we tried and thought perfectly nailed that classic cotton candy flavor.
Ayoh! Dill Pickle Mayo: Pickle lovers, this new Costco arrival is for you. Ayoh! Dill Pickle Mayo has arrived at Southern California warehouses, and it combines that tangy pickle flavor you adore with creamy mayo—and yes, there are real pickle chunks inside every bottle. A concoction dreamed up by Molly Baz, it’ll be your summer go-to on sandwiches, burgers, and perhaps even salads, because it’s versatile enough to be turned into a dressing, too. Frankly, I’m going to be dipping everything in it.
Kirkland Signature Waffle Cone Bar Cake: If you’re looking for a dessert that’ll wow guests and your tastebuds, head to your local Costco’s bakery—here, you’ll find a fresh take on ice cream. Yep, you read that right. Costco’s bakery is taking the classic ice cream cone and turning it into a cake, complete with those waffle cones I personally can never get enough of. The Kirkland Signature Waffle Cone Bar Cake is layered with waffle cone-flavored sponge cake, creamy frosting (which mimics the taste of ice cream), pieces of waffle cones, and drizzles of chocolate and caramel sauces. Yes, it’s decadent and yes, you’ll eat more than one piece.
Island Way Sorbet Variety Pack: Island Way sorbet has been a popular pick at Costco—we’re fans here at Sporked, particularly when it comes to grabbing a variety pack for solo grocery shopping. The frozen treat has returned for summer, so you can add it to your cart and enjoy Heavenly Coconut, Red Berry and Ruby Grapefruit, Passionate Mango, and Zesty Pomegranate packaged neatly in real fruit shells. Stock up so you can beat the heat with one of these frosty, light treats for a tropical alternative to traditional ice cream.
Mini Croissant Donuts: Technically these bakery newcomers arrived a couple of weeks ago, but we can’t wait to snap them up this month. Costco bakeries are now home to cronuts—or, as they’re officially known, Mini Croissant Donuts—a cross between buttery pastries and sweet, sticky donuts. Bite-sized and buzzy, this mashup of two different baked goods come in two flavors in a single container. That means you can snack on either a simple glazed or cinnamon sugar cronut when hunger hits (or when you’re in the mood for breakfast, should your sweet tooth strike in the morning like mine).
