What new Costco items should you be on the lookout for?
It stings when Costco discontinues a favorite item (RIP Kirkland chocolate chips), but when it drops brand-new desserts just in time for summer? All is forgiven. Here are the three summer treats you’ll want to grab before they’re gone.
Peaches and Cream Bar Cake
Peaches and cream is the ultimate summer pairing, and Costco just gave it a delicious upgrade. This dreamy new dessert features three layers of soft vanilla cake, filled with whipped cream and sweet peach jam between each layer. It’s topped off with a glossy peach glaze and a sprinkle of white chocolate curls. It may sound a little pricey at $18.99, but remember that Costco cakes aren’t skimpy, so it will end up being a total steal … if you don’t eat half of it in one sitting.
Social media star Laura Jayne Lamb, who posts under the handle Costco Hot Finds, describes it as “not too sweet” and perfect for peach lovers. And according to one Reddit reviewer, it reminds them of “an Asian-style cake, but with a denser sponge. Sweet, tart and great for summer.”
FYI, it will be available only for a limited time, so go ahead and treat yourself—fast!
Strawberry Shortcake Bites
Costco is bringing back its fan-favorite Strawberry Shortcake Bar Cake this summer, but there’s a new related snack that’s stealing the spotlight: Strawberry Shortcake Bites. These bite-sized delights, from the brand Edward Marc, dropped at the beginning of June, and the internet is already obsessed. One Reddit user describes them as “shortbread cookies with a sweet strawberry crème.”
A 20-ounce bag goes for $11.79, and according to reviewers, they’re worth every single penny. One hilarious Reddit commenter sums it up perfectly: “I could have gone my whole life without knowing these existed. So much for my summer beach body!” Another adds: “These taste exactly like those little bits in strawberry shortcake ice cream.”
Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
This new Costco summer item isn’t on the shelves—it’s at the food court. But it totally deserves a shoutout and a pit stop pre- or post-shop. For just $2.99 and 250 calories, Costco’s Frozen Strawberry Lemonade is the ultimate cool-down treat. It has a refreshing lemonade base and swirls upon swirls of real strawberry chunks. One Reddit fan raves that it “slaps,” while others point out that the chunky strawberries make it a bit of a challenge with the straw … not that they’re complaining because it’s so darn good! Some say it leans a little sweet, but most agree on one genius hack: Skip the straw, ditch the lid and sip straight from the cup.
What else is happening at Costco this summer?
Aside from the three exciting new items at Costco, there’s even more happening behind the scenes—and in stores. For starters, Costco has extended its store hours exclusively for Executive Members, giving them more time to shop and save.
And the other big scoop? Costco’s Summer Savings Event is just around the corner. According to popular retail YouTuber Gina’s Shopping Life, the event kicks off Wednesday, June 18, and runs through Sunday, July 20, both in warehouses and online. If you’re one of the lucky members who receives Costco’s coupon book in the mail, get ready for some serious deals.
