The best products at Costco right now, according to enthusiasts and Select staff
We rounded up our most beloved food products, gadgets and home goods currently available online.
Sedillo called this bundle a great value. This air purifier, which is only available refurbished on Winix’s website, comes with a HEPA filter and two years worth of filter replacements. It connects via wifi to an app that lets you monitor the air quality inside your home as well as set up a schedule to turn the purifier on, according to Sedillo.
Chow noted that some of the best deals to be had at Costco aren’t online, but in the butchery and bakery sections, like the whole tenderloin, slab cake for birthdays or the famous rotisserie chicken. That said, plenty of products are available for delivery. Below, a few enthusiast-recommended options and favorites from the Select staff.
This 3-pound bag of frozen salmon filets is one of Sedillo’s all-time favorite Costco staples. The farmed Atlantic salmon is raised without antibiotics, according to the brand, and sliced into 6 ounce or 8 ounce filets. Each filet is individually vacuum-sealed, which “makes dinner so easy,” said Sedillo.
“The Bibigo Cooked Sticky White Rice is one I get every time I go,” said Select’s senior SEO editor, Morgan Greenwald. The restaurant-style, Korean medium grain rice (which is currently double the price at Walmart) works well as an easy-to-prepare lunch or dinner. “All you have to do is stick these in the microwave for 90 seconds and you have fully cooked rice to use as a base for anything from poke to sesame tofu,” said Greenwald.
“My family goes through these trail mix bags like they’re water,” said Select production coordinator Gabriella DePinho. The blend mixes chocolate and peanut M&M’s, raisins, almonds and cashews. “I’m personally a huge fan of the fact that it has actual M&Ms instead of off-brand chocolate. Plus, it’s a mix of regular and peanut M&Ms, which is just super delicious,” said DePinho. Her family tends to buy a big bag and ration it out, rather than buying the snack pack sizes. In comparison, a similar 2.3-pound trail mix from Amazon costs $20.
Tina Chow’s local Costco “took these away for a little bit, and everyone freaked out,” she said. This flavor is 100% whole grain, gluten-free and made from sesame, flax, quinoa, amaranth, millet and chia, according to the brand.
