8 Irish Foods and Drinks You Can Score at Costco

With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, it's time to stock up on Irish food and drink. Whether made in Ireland or just Irish-inspired, Costco offers a variety of St. Patty's Day classics every year — and we found the best to save you time grocery shopping.

From precooked corned beef to Kirkland Signature Irish Whiskey, you can save money at Costco shopping for all of your favorite Irish foods and beverages.

If you love corned beef but don't have the time to make it, consider this microwaveable version from Bill Bailey's. Cured and slow-cooked, this iconic Irish dish is a must-eat at your St. Patrick's Day celebration.

Plus, at $6.99 per pound, this precooked option is even cheaper than a fresh beef brisket from Sam's Club, which is $7.98 per pound. And you'll save on seasonings as well.

Price: $15.49

Kerrygold is the gold standard (pun intended) of butter, and it's the perfect thing to spread on a loaf of homemade Irish soda bread.

Plus, you can save big by buying it at Costco. In each box, you'll get four 8-ounce bars, totaling two pounds of butter. That's just $3.87 per stick. For comparison, one stick of Kerrygold is $4.34 at Walmart.

Price: $28.79

While you might be able to find Jameson Irish whiskey at your Costco location, the Kirkland Signature bottle is much more cost-effective. 

The jumbo-sized bottle works out to about 49 cents per ounce, whereas Jameson will cost you about 72 cents per ounce.

Plus, Costco's whiskey is still a product of Ireland, and it's aged for four years, boasting notes of caramel, toffee, oak, and orange.

Price: $6.99 per pound

There's nothing like a hearty Irish stew, and this premade, refrigerated option offers all of the flavors without any of the cooking time. The stew is chock full of beef, potatoes, carrots, and onions, and for heating you can take your pick of the stove, oven, or microwave methods.

The stew goes for $6.99 per pound, which is a dollar cheaper than its price at BJ's.

Price: $9.99

You can't have a proper St. Patrick's Day feast without cabbage — and the potatoes and bacon in this hash are a welcome bonus. You'll get 28 ounces of the ready-to-microwave medley for under $10, which makes it a pretty affordable side dish.

 And you won't find a cabbage, bacon, and potato hash everywhere — or even at Costco year-round.

Price: $7.49 per pound

Much like its butter, Kerrygold's Dubliner aged cheddar is a can't-miss Costco find, whether you're assembling a cheese board or grating it over Irish stew. 

It's $7.49 per pound, but you'll pay $5.29 for a block that's less than half a pound at Target. And on top of that, the Irish cheese's ingredient list is quite short with just four items: milk, salt, cheese cultures, and enzymes.

Price: $21.43

When you think of Irish comfort food, shepherd's pie probably comes to mind. In Costco's deli section, you'll likely find this massive, 5-pound option. 

With a flaky pie crust and a layer of seasoned beef topped with creamy mashed potatoes, all you have to do is throw this pie in the oven for 45 to 50 minutes at 380 degrees, and it's ready to serve.

Costco's shepherd's pie is the same price per pound as Walmart's Great Value frozen meal, but the first is a much fresher option.

Price: $16.99

Whether adding to cocktails or drinking on its own, Irish cream is a festive St. Patrick's Day staple. And luckily, it's yet another opportunity to save on Costco's in-house brand. Kirkland Signature's boozy, creamy liqueur contains dairy cream and Irish whiskey. 

Plus, the bottle is $7 cheaper than a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream and more than twice the size.

Even St. Patrick's Day is a great time to save money on groceries at Costco, whether you want a bottle of decadent Irish cream liqueur or a shepherd's pie to feed the whole family. 

You can save cash and time in the kitchen by opting for premade Irish classic meals or refrigerator staples, like Kerrygold butter.

Food and drink products will vary by Costco, but head to the alcohol aisle or refrigerated section for some seasonal Irish finds.
