A new year has begun, which means there are new things on the horizon at all of our favorite stores, including Costco. We can always count on the warehouse retailer to keep things fresh, and whether they’re rolling out new frozen products, exciting prepared meals to make our weeknight dinners a little easier or sweet treats that make it tough to stick to those New Year’s health goals, there’s sure to be something satisfying in our cart. Thanks to social media, folks have been sharing some of their best finds, hacks and tips for shopping at Costco in 2026—see which ones we can’t wait to try!

Get your hands on Costco’s new Brownie Walnut Pie

Though you might be stepping away from the sweets in 2026, leave it to Costco to pull you back in with a new sweet treat that’ll be hard to say no to. The all-new Brownie Walnut Pie is as decadent and rich as desserts come, with a graham cracker crust, a brownie filling and a smooth chocolate ganache topping. And a sprinkling of walnuts adds a textural element that has our mouths watering. For $21.99, this pie feeds a crowd—and it’s clear Costco shoppers are already itching to get their hands on it. “I would totally warm it just a tad and top with some whipped cream and not share,” joked one user in the comments of @costcohotfinds’ Instagram post sharing this new dessert. “Omg someone share this with me, I am but a single woman living by myself and I have no need for a pie this large!!,” commented another. 

Dinner just got easier with Costco’s chipotle chicken

Love eating at Chipotle but are looking to save a bit after the holidays? Costco recently added Flame Seared Chargrilled Chipotle Chicken to their lineup, and shoppers are excited to try this new product. With people claiming that this chicken resembles the fast-casual restaurant’s chicken and a price tag of just $12 for a 2-pound bag, grabbing a package for a night of make-your-own chipotle chicken bowls at home is a no-brainer!

Costco’s main appeal is the fact that you can buy items in bulk for less, and a genius hack circulating social media involves something that typically has a pretty hefty price tag: steak. Costco shoppers have been sharing their experience of purchasing New York beef top loin and slicing it into steaks. For most, these giant slabs of meat cost between $170 and $200, and with many able to cut over a dozen steaks from the slab, the price per steak is significantly less than buying individual steaks. Tip! One shopper found a better deal on Hot Pot Chuck Rolls at Costco Business Centers, snapping it up for $11.93 a pound, compared to $14.99 a pound at regular Costco stores. 

Amp up pasta night with Costco’s new garlic bread

Our mouths are already watering at this one! Pasta night just got even more special thanks to Costco’s Kirkland Signature Roasted Garlic Butter Parmesan Baguette. At just $8 for a pack of two, how can you pass this up? “These come ready to heat and are loaded with roasted garlic, butter and Parmesan for that classic crispy outside and soft inside everyone loves,” wrote @costcobuys on Instagram

Whether you’re stocking up on weeknight dinner solutions, treating yourself to something sweet or trying out money-saving hacks that make your budget stretch further, Costco continues to be the friend who always comes through. So grab your membership card and get ready to fill your cart with delicious discoveries—2026 is looking pretty tasty already!
