This week’s best Costco finds

If you’re anything like me, your love for Costco runs deep. There’s something magical about strolling the aisles, never knowing exactly what treasure you might stumble upon next.

And this week? Oh, Costco has really outdone itself. Whether you’re a home cook looking to improve your cooking skills or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life (on a tight budget, of course), these finds are for you.

Immerse yourself in the culinary wonders that await you at Costco this week.

1. Plaza Osetra Farmed Caviar from Bulgaria, 2 oz, 3-Pack

Let’s start with the big guns: caviar. Yes, you heard right—Costco sells sturgeon caviar like it’s just another giant bag of peanut butter. But don’t be fooled; this is no ordinary fish roe.

For $249.99, Plaza Osetra Farmed Bulgarian Sturgeon Caviar is the real deal. For the uninitiated, “malossol” means it’s lightly salted, which means you get more of that pure, rich, buttery flavor.

With three 2-ounce jars vacuum sealed to preserve freshness, you’ll have just enough to impress a small group of friends or to eat alone in a dark room while you ponder your life choices.

The color ranges from phantom black to dark brown, which, let’s be honest, just sounds cool. And with a shelf life of 60 days (unopened), you’ve got plenty of time to find the right occasion – like a Tuesday night binge-watching session.

2. AeroGarden Farm 12XL

Next, we have something for those of you with a green thumb – or at least a desire to pretend you have one. The AeroGarden Farm 12XL, which costs $349.99, is your ticket to becoming an indoor gardening guru. Forget worrying about whether your herbs will survive the winter; with this baby, you can grow 12 pots of herbs, vegetables, or even flowers all year round.

It has an adjustable 36-inch growing height and an optimal 60W LED grow light to ensure your plants get all the love they need, even if you forget to water them (don’t worry, there are automatic reminders for that). Honestly, if you’ve ever wanted to up your farm-to-table game without actually owning a farm, this is the device for you.

3. Cuisinart Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel 5-Piece Frying Pan Set

Let’s move on to something every cook – amateur or not – needs: a solid frying pan set. Enter the Cuisinart 5-Piece Triple-Ply Stainless Steel Frying Pan Set, which you can snag for just $69.99. This set features triple-ply construction and an aluminum core for even heat distribution, so no more burnt edges while the center remains raw.

The pieces have a sleek brushed stainless steel exterior and are compatible with all hobs – including induction. That means this set is versatile enough for any kitchen.

Plus, it’s oven safe up to 500°F (230°C with lid) and dishwasher safe, so cleanup is a breeze. At just $69.99, it’s practically a steal—and you can use the money you save to buy more caviar.

4. Whynter 2 Quart Capacity Compressor Ice Cream Maker & Yogurt Incubator

Have you ever dreamed of making your own ice cream? Maybe even yogurt? The Whynter 2-Quart Capacity Compressor, Ice Cream Maker and Yogurt Incubator makes that dream come true – all for $229.99. And the best part? No pre-freezing required.

This machine is equipped with a powerful compressor so you can churn out two liters of deliciousness in no time. The BPA-free mixing blade ensures everything runs safely and smoothly, and the stainless steel bowl makes cleanup easy (and stylish).

Whether you’re making classic vanilla ice cream or experimenting with exotic flavors, this appliance will make you feel like a professional ice cream artist in your own kitchen.

5. Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaking Kit

Last but not least, let’s talk about wine. What’s better than a glass of wine at the end of a long day? How about 60 bottles of wine you made yourself? For $89.99, the Argentia Ridge Chateau Private Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Winemaking Kit is perfect for the DIYer who’s tired of brewing beer at home and is ready for a more challenging hobby.

This kit includes two six-liter bags of grape juice concentrate, all the ingredients you need, and a guide to walk you through the process. At the end, you’ll have 60 bottles of rich, bold Cabernet Sauvignon to enjoy—or to give as gifts, if you’re feeling generous.

Made in Canada, this set offers a fun way to learn about winemaking while stocking your wine cellar (or cabinet, no judgement).

So there you have it—this week’s best Costco finds for the foodie or aspiring chef in your life. Whether you’re splurging on caviar, growing your own herbs, perfecting your cooking skills, making ice cream from scratch, or crafting your own wine, Costco has you covered—all for a smaller credit card bill. If only Costco sold time to enjoy all of these hobbies.
