The Best & Worst New Foods To Buy At Costco In 2024

[Music] everybody loves a good deal but some things are just not worth the bulk buy next time you're at Costco these are the new foods to make sure to toss in your cart or mouth as well as the ones to leave on the Shelf cookies are always delicious but cusco's Bakery has gone above and beyond with its new Kirkland white chocolate cranberry cookies at around $10 for 24 or under 50 cents a cookie these are a great deal just like the warehouse's other cookies even better they're a crowd pleaser so whether you're providing snacks for your next book club meeting or planning a birthday party these should be at the top of your list redditors are raving about these cookies with one user saying OMFG yes they're amazing and another warning careful they're dangerous finance and budgeting expert sarin Perry louded both the price and The Taste telling mashed Costco gives great value for money the white chocolate cranberry cookies from the bakery were a delightful surprise they strike the perfect balance between sweet and tart making them a hit at our family gatherings the only reason to steer clear of this product is the size of the package if you're planning on eating them solo 24 cookies is a lot the last few might get stale before you manage to consume them but that's what freezers are for Bagles you dropped them on the floor uh they're called Bagels uh I lived in New York Troy I know what a bagle is Costco bagels have generally gotten good reviews except the blueberry Bagel which was discontinued years ago and recently reappeared not all customers loved the taste one redditor wrote these were just okay for me the blueberry flavor was subtle it didn't taste right with cream cheese and was better with butter and cinnamon on it not terrible but wouldn't buy again at many warehouses Kirkland Signature bagels cost between $8 and $10 for a dozen Which is higher than other grocery store Bagels For example Walmart pedals a half dozen for between $2 and $4 Costco's price is a great deal though when you compare it to bagel shops like Einstein Bros which offers a Baker's Dozen for around $16 finally some redditors on the Costco Reddit thread pointed out that this Bakery product molds quickly within about 2 days of purchase in some cases it's hard for a single family to eat 12 Bagels in that amount of time so many people choose to store them in the freezer instead Costco put out its new inventory item Good Foods chicken taco dip as a sample to tantalize Shoppers before the Super Bowl this year the warehouse has iconic White muffin wrappers for samples came with tortilla chips buried in a deliciously creamy cheesy chicken dip anyone who likes Southwestern flavors will enjoy it in addition to the fantastic taste the texture is fun with a combination of whole corn kernels and tender bits of shredded chicken the only con is that it's too salty especially when combined with already salt bathed tortilla chips redditors liked it as well even though some of them mistrust The Good Foods brand name one user equipped introducing the just okay product line at Costco our products are adequate others reviewed the dip more seriously posting I personally think it's delicious and even better heated up while the flavor and texture make this dip a worthwhile purchase you will have to Shell out more than you would for run-of-the-mill products a 24 oz tub costs nearly $10 or around 40 per ounce whereas you can find French onion dips at Walmart for as low as 20 cents per ounce it tastes like a crappy cup of coffee Shoppers are sure to notice Kirkland's House Blend Coffee has changed significantly since the beginning of 2024 starting with the packaging the top half used to be creamy white with a smooth green bottom and a label that read custom roasted by Starbucks the name of Kirkland's House Coffee may not have changed but the product did the coffee giant has dis appeared from the new darker green packaging leading consumers to believe that Starbucks no longer partners with the warehouse reviews of this coffee on Reddit were unforgiving with one user making this evaluation it's really bad dark and super oily such a disappointment tastes awful according to Costco's website it costs about $13 for 40 oz of beans it's a great deal but if it doesn't taste good it's money down the drain me no can resist cookie anymore cookie n n n Costco channeled its identity as a store that sells massively sized items into the single $249 food court treat the chocolate chip cookies are so large that Costco redditors recommend sharing just one among three or four people one person on the subreddit even created a thread with a photo showing the cookie measurements the diameter is 5 in and it looks about an inch thick giving Subway's $5 foot long cookie a run for its money it's hard to know which is bigger but either way it's a lot of cookie unsurprisingly this dessert also contains a hefty calorie content with 750 live a little and try this cookie even if it's just once Costco Shopper Ray Pierce told mashed in an email the Giant Food Court chocolate chip cookies are my guilty pleasure they're warm soft and loaded with chocolate chips it's a great way to reward yourself and your family after a long afternoon of deal hunting Ron would you like some salad since I am not a rabbit no I do not Taylor Farm's taii chili mango salad is tempting but if you add the approximately $8 two pack to your cart you may end up disappointed its bold flavors promise to give you a taste of Tropical Paradise but what comes in the bag of prepped veggies suggests otherwise Costco Enthusiast Kaden Roberts emailed Mash explaining that trying new products at the warehouse is thrilling but this one was a Miss Roberts wrote the salad l the freshness I anticipated and the dressing was overwhelmingly spicy masking the Mango's natural flavor while I usually enjoy bold flavors this salad's imbalance made it a one-time purchase Sunita yusf Costco Shopper and founder of the wannabe cook blog was also disappointed with the salad in an email she clarified even though the name says mango salad there are few mango pieces in the salad that get drowned by the excessive amount of broccoli sunflower seeds and cauliflower in the end it's a plain cauliflower salad with a spicy thai sauce that lacks the namesake ingredient mango okay what do you think of dogs love cats love fish love Turtles no opinion no one has anything bad to say about this product aside from joking about the name to clarify no turtles were harmed to make this snack Shoppers nearly unanimously love Turtle chips by Orion and most of them effusively expressed their enjoyment for example one redditor posted yes I will gladly pay the $4.50 at my local store these are my favorite this treat is a hit because it combines three of Humanity's favorite flavors sugar chocolate and cinnamon the light crunchiness of these chips makes the bag hard to put down Costco Shopper Kaden Roberts elaborated in an email about the flavor and texture absolutely delightful the crunchiness paired with a subtly sweet and savory flavor profile made these chips a standout addition to my pantry they recommend sharing this product at Gatherings or even just eating them solo for a movie night many posters on the Reddit Costco thread are already familiar with the snack from their local hmrs and suggest going there to find more flavors like sweet corn and chili lime anyone too far from Hmart will have to depend on Costco for their Turtle chips recently Costco added bags of Mama's Choice fried calamari to warehouses but the snack fell short of expect expectations Shoppers felt the price was too high the calamari too chewy and the breading too thick one redditor asked are they chewy for anyone else or is that just the kind I got another simply said nah don't get it too much breading some people on the thread recommended baking or air frying the product to improve it but that may be too much work for a simple snack you'd probably be better off heading to Red Lobster to satisfy your craving for fried calamari if you're at Costco to find a large quantity of filling sustenance at the lowest price add a box of Indo Mimi go ring instant fried noodles to your cart the pack comes with 40 servings and costs about $24 on Costco's website the price in person at the warehouses is even lower at first glance these look like any other pack of super cheap instant noodles but Shoppers swear these taste Superior one redditor wrote These are the only instant noodles I will eat and it has to be the spicy one this brand is so so good in an email frequent Costco Shopper David baky explained why he prefers them they taste like actual homemade fried noodles one redditor especially liked the price saying I normally buy the 30 pack from Amazon for $22 so that is a good price and it's Halal kids really love it to put it simply this box from Costco provides a massive amount of delicious food at an accessible price and this wasn't even that fun trail mix with the pretzels and the M&M's this was that real dry raisiny trail mix if you're a fan of Trail Mix stick to mixing up your own instead of spending on the new grazing mix by Bas at Costco the concept is fantastic and it's a shame the mix doesn't live up to expectations when you purchase it the problem comes down to the sealed plastic packaging that traps extra moisture the little humidity left in the dried apricots and cranberries is enough to seep out and affect the crackers and pretzels which lose their Crunch and end up tasting a little little stale members of the Costco Reddit thread didn't hide their disappointment in this product one user wrote I was so excited to try it and the flavors are actually really good together but the crunchy bits just taste a little stale they lack the well crunch I was hoping for such a bummer the good thing about this product is the price on bass's website this 24 o bag goes for about $20 but at Costco it costs significantly less at around $10 on sale shoppers looking to indulge in a sweet treat should grab a bag of white chocolate raspberry candy made by Tru fet de Francis these delicate candies have dark chocolate raspberry ganache centers dotted with Crispy bits of quinoa and a white chocolate covered exterior by all accounts they taste even better than they look on the package Costco Shopper Ray Pierce described his love for this candy in an email at $9.99 for 20 pieces it's an indulgent but worthwhile Splurge the raspberry filling is T and sweet while the white chocolate melts in your mouth fellow Shopper Sean manaher agreed in an email Tru fet St Fran's white chocolate raspberry candy is a personal favorite of mine he points out though that this product is not lowbudget there are many cheaper candies and chocolates out there but if you like the taste of these they are well worth spending a little more peanut butter oh in the real kind not that natural stuff with 4 in of oil on top the image on the package of JoJo's organic dark chocolate peanut butter build bars is tempting even just the name is enough to make your mouth water then you take a look at the nutrition facts and this snack seems too good to be true the bag trumpets there are only 2 g of sugar in each bite compare that to any other candy and you'll find it's incredibly low the problem According to some Shoppers though is this candy doesn't live up to the hype and costs more than it's worth about $10 for N9 pieces weighing a total of 3.6 Oz one redditor Comon they weren't good I can't even say that they tasted bad for being chocolate and peanut butter they surprisingly had very little taste at all another user didn't mind the taste so much but didn't like the price saying I would buy them again if on clearance or a really good deal however I would not pay full [Music] price
