You don't need to travel to some fancy ice cream shop or diner to enjoy a delicious fall-inspired sundae. You can whip one up right in the Costco parking lot, and all you need is two fan-favorite items: the ready-made Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie from the store's bakery section and a cup of vanilla ice cream from the food court.
I shop at Costco at least once a week for myself and my teenage daughter. Frozen pineapples are a key ingredient in my daughter's post-track-practice smoothies. Costco's rotisserie chicken is another staple that we use in a variety of meals throughout the week. As a mom and business owner, I've learned that fueling a young athlete requires more than just smart nutrition. It also requires curiosity for trying new things and finding ways to enjoy the process together.
The pumpkin spice bagels are a limited-time seasonal offering that's reportedly lasting through October. The wholesaler has slowly been rolling out its pumpkin-flavored bakery items, keeping its shoppers on their toes each passing week. Fans were super excited to spot the most-beloved pumpkin pie on the shelves in late August, followed by the autumnal return of Costco's pumpkin cheesecake (though it's a little different this year).
It's the same meal all week, and it looks a bit drab most of the time. Well, meal prep doesn't have to be boring, monotonous, or flavorless. Meal preparation is simply the act of compiling various foods to create multiple meals; it doesn't automatically equate to counting your macros or considering fitness, which is what we often see. Meal prep can help you reduce decision fatigue, as well as save some precious dollars and time.
After sampling 5 Kirkland Signature olive oils from Costco, our taste tester discovered that Kirkland Signature extra virgin Siurana olive oil is better left for finishing dishes rather than cooking them. This is largely due to its higher price tag, and the fact that it has enough flavor to hold its own as a finishing oil. Martha Stewart encourages home chefs to have several olive oils stocked in their kitchens, and this bottle is a reliable option for using more sparingly.
At the time of writing, the warehouse grocery store chain had 81 million paid members globally. Some are more keen than others. To give you an idea: Married couple David and Susan Schwartz have written about their love for Costco in a self-published book, which documents their journey visiting more than 200 Costco locations around the world. That's the kind of love Costco inspires, with its low prices, in-house food court, and unique product offerings.
Costco holds a unique place in American culture. With its famous rotisserie chickens, famous food court items, bulk products sold on pallets, affordable prices, eccentric product offerings, and warehouse design, Costco has captured the imagination, wallets, and hyper-fixation of Americans for years. Unlike typical grocery shopping, the sheer volume and variety of products available at Costco leave room for creative shopping styles.
Two dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, 30 rolls of toilet paper - and one ounce of 24 karat gold. While that might be one of the more expensive grocery runs a Costco shopper might make, it is one that could realistically happen. Costco sells hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of gold and silver each month. There are two ways to buy bars and coins from the wholesale club: online and in-store at certain warehouses. Here's what that looks like.
When Costco reported its Q3 earnings on May 29, it announced net income of $1.9 billion and diluted EPS of $4.28 compared to $1.68 billion and $3.78, respectively, year-over-year. The company beat Wall Street estimates for both revenue and EPS while also reporting an 8% jump in sales, with CEO Ron Vachris saying on the earnings call that Costco rushed shipments ahead of tariffs and has rerouted goods from countries with higher tariffs to non-U.S. markets.
When you go grocery shopping, you're usually looking for items to put in your refrigerator. It's hard to imagine a kitchen without one, which means it's easy to forget that those chilly chambers had to come from somewhere. But sometimes life gives you a clear reminder - maybe your fridge breaks, or starts to feel far too small for your family.
You know it's officially cozy season when Costco rolls out the massive 3.5-pound Sand + Fog candles. These candles are so huge that shoppers say they'll last you through the end of the year (and maybe into next fall and winter, too!). And this year there are new scents that are perfect for the upcoming cozy season. Last year the Sand + Fog candles came in a fairly basic cube-shaped glass vessel with a wooden top.
Imagine planning the perfect weekend dinner. Maybe you're going to grill some steaks, or you have a new pasta dish in mind. You went shopping and picked up everything you needed, including fresh, delicious asparagus. After a day in the fridge, you open the bag and a strong smell of rotten asparagus fills your kitchen. Dinner is ruined and you need a new plan.
Like him or hate him, it's a fact that Jim Cramer is one of the personalities in the financial media that investors can certainly talk about. He's an opinionated individual with very strong views on the key stocks he likes and has continued to hold. His table-pounding recommendations of Nvidia ( NASDAQ:NVDA), which he is still pounding the table on, have turned out gloriously. However, some of his other picks have turned out, shall we say, less profitably for investors.
Buying pantry staples in bulk is one of the most effective ways to stretch a budget, and Costco makes it easy. Pantry items such as rice, pasta, beans and oats can form the base of hearty, inexpensive meals. Add in canned goods like tuna, chicken, vegetables and soups, which provide protein and nutrients while lasting for months in the pantry. Cooking oils such as olive oil are also typically cheaper per ounce at Costco than at regular grocery stores.
There is always a paradox with rare bourbon that any enthusiast struggles with. Trying to get your hands on a rare bottle can be incredibly frustrating. However, if it were easy, then these bottles wouldn't be rare in the first place and such an exciting find. Even if you can get your hands on a bottle, prices can vary hugely. Bottles of Pappy are the best example of this.
Taco night is about to get a lot better. Costco is known for its wide variety of foods, catering to almost every dietary need, with plenty of international options to explore. But chances are, you may have walked right past this underrated Mexican staple: Tortilla Fresca's uncooked flour tortillas. Made with just wheat flour, filtered water, canola oil, salt, and sugar, these tortillas come in a pack of 44 (or 36 for the organic flour tortillas) in the refrigerated section and can instantly make any meal more comforting and filling.
