Marionberry Almond Swirl Cakes Are Back at Costco — Plus 5 More New Weekly Arrivals

Many believe the best blackberries are marionberries, a cultivar with a sweeter flavor and vivid purple color that pleases the eyes and the stomach. The Marionberry Almond Swirl Cake from Posh Pantry has returned to Costco this season, and it looks like the perfect summer treat for tea time or coffee breaks. 

The bundt cake with violet icing is a returning favorite from last year. Its rich almond flavor is laced with a light berry undercurrent that can be enhanced with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The price tag has increased slightly from last year—up 70 cents for a new cost of $11.69—but it's still the same 36 ounces, so there is more than enough to share with the whole family. 

Of course, that's not all that's new this week at Costco. There are several additions that totally deserve a spot in your cart this week!

The Strawberry Bliss Cake from Posh Pantry is the perfect alternative for those not excited about the marionberry option. This classic strawberry option is also larger, weighing 64 ounces of delicious cakey goodness with a sweet crumble topping. 

The bundt cake comes wrapped with patriotic red and blue ribbons, so it's ready and set for Fourth of July picnics. Skip the baking and get right to eating with this coffee cake that will surely be a crowd-pleaser. 

It's always good to have a jar of salsa or three in the cupboard for snack time or unexpected guests. Is there anything salsa doesn't go with? Chips, crackers, tacos, avocado — there's very little this spicy condiment can't garnish! 

Late July brand salsa is selling three jars for $9.99 - that's more than 45 ounces for summer snacking. Late July uses organic diced tomatoes, an excellent option for avoiding unnecessary chemicals. 

Sometimes, the best noodle name is the most obvious description, and Taiwanese Squiggly Noodles sets the appropriate shape description from the start. The variety pack offers three flavors: braised pork, shallot, and zha jiang. 

The best part? The price is $9.89 — less than half of what Amazon currently charges. The pack includes six meal sets (two of each flavor) of instant noodles, convenient for a quick lunch on the go. 

If you're looking for a spicy and savory trail mix for summer hiking snacks, try Hoody's Jalapeño Cheddar Mix. $10.49 will get you 32 ounces of almonds, cashews, cornsticks, and corn nuggets seasoned with a flavorful spicy-cheese goodness. 

When you pull this snack out of your pocket to share, remember to make the classic dad joke: "It's nacho cheese; it's my cheese!

Ready and armed with exciting new snacks for munching, now might be the perfect time to grab some new bento-style lunch boxes by Bentgo. 

They come in a set of two and feature separate compartments to keep foods isolated until you decide otherwise. They're microwave- and dishwasher-safe for convenience in preparation and cleanup at only $19.99.

Summer is a great time to enjoy some seasonal flavors that aren't always available, and Costco has excellent affordable options for sharing with family or at a social gathering—or for scurrying away in a hidden corner of the cupboard to keep all for yourself. 

These new arrivals will keep you out of the kitchen, giving you more time for all the fun the warm weather offers.
