Winter’s here fellas, and Costco is straight-up loading the shelves with some heavy hitters that’ll make the cold months way more bearable. From gut-busting snacks to stuff that keeps you warm and saves you cash, these new drops are legit game-changers. I swung by my local warehouse last weekend (braved the snow and everything) and damn near filled two carts once I saw what they just rolled out. Here’s the 11 new items you gotta grab before they’re gone.
This stuff is ridiculous in the best way. They take real Vermont maple syrup and let it chill in bourbon barrels for months, so you get that smoky, oaky kick with your pancakes or drizzled over thick-cut bacon. Perfect for weekend breakfasts when it’s too cold to leave the house – just flip on the griddle and go to town.
Frozen section just got a major upgrade. These thin-sliced ribeye strips come marinated in that sweet-soy-garlic sauce Koreans nail every time. Toss ’em in a screaming hot cast iron skillet for 5 minutes and you’ve got better bulgogi than most takeout joints. Pair it with rice and kimchi and you’re eating like a king for under ten bucks a pound.
Deep-dish fans, listen up. This bad boy has the crispy cheese edges that go all the way around (you know, the caramelized frico we all fight over). Two kinds of pepperoni, including those cupping ones that curl up and get crunchy. Bake it straight from frozen and it legit tastes like you drove to Detroit for it.
Costco brought back the winter beer variety box but made it even better this year. You get a dope German-style doppelbock, a spiced amber, and a chocolate porter that drinks like dessert. At like $22 for 24 bottles, it’s basically free compared to craft beer prices. Stock the garage fridge now.
Sounds fancy but it’s fire. Thin crust loaded with cold-smoked salmon, mozzarella, capers, red onion, and big dollops of crème fraîche. Throw it in the oven and 12 minutes later you’ve got brunch that makes you look like you know what you’re doing. Great with that winter lager above.
100-count box with original, jalapeño, and teriyaki. Zero sugar, no junk fillers, and actually tastes like meat instead of a chemistry experiment. Keep ’em in the truck, the deer stand, or your desk drawer – perfect when you need protein without the hassle.
Don’t kid with me, but this is actually good. Super thin crispy crust made from cauliflower (but doesn’t taste like a garden), piled high with pepperoni or four-cheese. Even if you eat gluten like it’s your job, you’ll crush these. Way better than that the frozen stuff you tried five years ago.
Thick, warm, and don’t slide down into your boots. 60% merino so your feet don’t sweat then freeze like with cotton. I wore a pair shoveling snow last week and my toes stayed toasty the whole time. At $14.99 for six pairs, just buy two packs and call it a day.
Huge ravioli stuffed with real lobster meat and ricotta in a pink vodka sauce packet. Boil for 4 minutes, toss with the sauce, maybe hit it with some parmesan and crushed red pepper. Tastes like a $40 restaurant plate but costs about seven bucks a bag. My wife thought I ordered takeout.
Real thick-cut bacon, already cooked and crumbled. No mess, no shrinking, no grease fire. Throw it on baked potatoes, in omelets, or straight into your mouth while “taste-testing.” Lasts forever in the fridge and makes everything better.
Massive 9-oz burritos with eggs, cheese, sausage (or bacon), potatoes, and peppers. Microwave in 2 minutes or toss on the smoker for 20 if you’re feeling extra. 12-pack means you’re set for quick breakfasts when it’s -10° and you don’t wanna cook. Coffee + burrito + recliner = winning at winter.
