7 Fall Grocery Staples You Should Buy at Costco Before They Sell Out
Costco's seasonal items seem to run on a treasure-hunt model, which means there are limited quantities, one-time buys, no restocks and you simply have to scavenge for all the fall fan favorites.
Unlike regular grocery stores where you can grab something next week, Costco seasonal items are truly first come, first served.

Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie
Price: $6.80 (per pie)
Costco's legendary pumpkin pie has been a fall fixture since 1987. It comes in at 58 ounces under $7, and feeds a crowd for less than you'd pay for two fancy pumpkin spice lattes. This pie has a high sell-out likelihood as it is the first thing to disappear from Costco’s bakery section.
Kirkland Signature Caramel Apple Strudel Bites
Price: $9.07 (for a dozen)
Flaky, all-butter pastry with gooey filling, these Kirkland Signature Caramel Apple Strudel Bites are great to warm up and serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. One box gives you 12 individually portioned bites perfect for breakfast or dessert (which bakes out to about 76 cents a pop). These are relatively new and already a cult favorite, so don’t sleep on them.
Kirkland Signature Praline Pecans
Price: $18.15 (for 2.5 pounds)
At roughly $9 per pound, these beat specialty retailers by 60%. You'll use them on charcuterie boards, in salads, and yes, just straight from the bag. Pecans are a fall harvest crop, so once Costco's seasonal allocation sells out, the Kirkland Signature Praline Pecans are gone until next year.
Kirkland Signature Organic Pure Maple Syrup
Price: $14.74 (for 33.8 ounces)
Nothing beats 100% pure, Grade A amber, USDA organic Kirkland Signature Organic Pure Maple Syrup. This is sourced directly from Quebec producers and costs roughly 44 cents per ounce, which undercuts specialty maple syrup by a wide margin. Though this product doesn’t sell out as dramatically as pies, it does sell steadily through fall and winter, so supplies can take a hit.
Panera Autumn Squash Soup
Price: $10.20 (2-count, 24-ounces)
Restaurant-quality comfort food at warehouse prices makes this Panera Autumn Squash Soup a bestseller on Costco's Same-Day Delivery platform because it actually tastes like the real thing. Fall comfort-food season means high demand, so grab extra to freeze.
Noosa Whole Milk Yoghurt Fall Variety Pack
Price: $10.20 (12-count, 4-ounces)
Creamy, indulgent Australian Noosa Whole Milk Yoghurt comes in seasonal flavors like apple pie and vanilla bean. Fall varieties are limited-edition, so you literally can't get these any other time of year. Stock up in the Costco dairy aisle now.
Kirkland Signature Beef Chili
Price: $4.87 (per pound)
Perfect for fall game days, quick weeknight dinners or freezing for later. Costco’s Kirkland Signature Beef Chili is rich and hearty, and it tastes as if it simmered for hours. Buy multiple containers and freeze them to last through winter.
