Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.

Price: $7.99

Get the rich taste of a French crepe without buying a special pan, following a complicated recipe, or stocking up on a list of potentially pricey ingredients.

This 20-count bag of individually wrapped chocolate and hazelnut-filled roll-ups is a steal for under $8. Target sells a box of frozen Belgian Boys Original Crepes for $5.99. Even though the price is lower, you only get seven plain, unfilled pancakes.

Because each crepe is wrapped on its own, they're easy to toss into lunchboxes or grab for an afternoon snack. Warm one briefly for a gooey filling, or top it with fresh berries and whipped cream for a quick dessert.

Price: $7.59

Snag a 1.125-pound wheel of this fancy French gourmet cheese for less than what you might pay for something more common. 

The soft-ripened triple creme brie pairs perfectly with apples, grapes, or a rustic baguette. Compare Costco's low price to $16.99 per pound for Lactalis Le Petite Brie at Whole Foods Market.

Triple creme means extra cream is added during cheesemaking, which gives this brie an ultra-smooth, buttery texture. President suggests pairing it with figs, cherries, pistachios, or quince jam, plus a glass of Champagne or another sparkling wine. As the cheese ripens, its slight acidity mellows and the flavor grows richer.

Price: $14.79

Add a French flare to your Sunday brunch buffet. This two-pack of quiche includes spinach artichoke and cheddar broccoli flavors. Each quiche weighs 23 ounces, and both bake in the oven at 375 degrees in under 30 minutes. 

You can also freeze one for later and add about 10 minutes to the bake time. Serve it with a simple green salad and fresh fruit for an easy, crowd-pleasing brunch.

What do shoppers think about this pick? Redditor fancysockpuppet raved, "Very good and even better, consistently good. I don't know how they turn these out in Costco quantities and still keep the quality high, but they do."

Price: $5.99

Pass on pricey French bakeries and nab a dozen flaky, buttery croissants from Costco's Kirkland store brand. Eat the pastries as-is or slice them in half to make savory ham and cheese sandwiches. 

The croissants are baked fresh in Costco's in-store bakery, and they also work for breakfast sandwiches with eggs and bacon or as a side for soup and salad. Extras can be frozen and warmed in the oven for a few minutes to bring back their crisp, flaky layers.

At $5.99, this 12-pack is a steal. Williams Sonoma sells Galaxy Desserts' eight-count of Classic Croissants for over $26.

Price: $9.99

Brie isn't the only French cheese you can stock up on at Costco. The warehouse club also has a variety pack of Boursin.

Get two 5.3-ounce Garlic and Fine Herbs flavor and one Shallot and Chive flavor for less than $10. A single box of Boursin's Garlic and Fine Herbs flavor costs $5.99 at Target. That works out to less than $3.35 per box at Costco. 

The crumbly, spreadable cheese is a quick appetizer on crackers or sliced baguette, and it can be stirred into pasta, mashed potatoes, or scrambled eggs for extra flavor. It's also a fast way to dress up a weeknight dinner.

Price: $4.99

This double-pack of French baguettes is one of the best bakery deals at the members-only store. You'll get two loaves for under $5. And if you're lucky, you can score a freshly baked bag that's still hot from the oven. 

The baguettes arrive par-baked and are finished in Costco's bakery. To bring back a crisp crust at home, warm them in a 400-degree oven for up to eight minutes.

Smother a slice with creamy brie, or smear a layer of sweet fruit spread on top. Leftover bread works well for crostini, French toast, bread pudding, or homemade croutons for soups and salads.

Price: $8.49

These rich, buttery mini cakes are a must-have bargain buy for under $8.50. And bonus, you get 30 ounces in this bulk buy. Target's 16.8-ounce size of Favorite Day Madeleine Cookies costs $1 more ($9.49). 

Made with sweet creamery butter, these shell-shaped French cakes are individually wrapped, so they stay fresh and are easy to pack for lunches, road trips, or office snacks. 

Serve them with coffee or tea, dip the tips in melted chocolate for a dressed-up dessert, or set out a platter at your next brunch for a simple sweet treat that feels far fancier than its price.

Price: $12.79

Think of this freezer-section-find as an upscale French version of a Hot Pocket. Savory smoked ham and Swiss wrapped in a flaky, buttery pastry dough make this pick a fan favorite. 

La Boulangerie is a San Francisco bakery founded in 1996 by French baker Pascal Rigo. Each pack holds eight individually wrapped pockets that come fully cooked, so they only need reheating. Pop one in the air fryer for about six minutes or in the oven for about eight for a quick breakfast or lunch.

Costco subreddit user Jim556a1 posted, "Very, very yummy, flaky is a bit of an understatement!"

Price: $8.99

The traditional palm or butterfly-shaped puff pastry is a popular French treat. Nab a two-pound bulk buy pack of the preservative-free mini "cookies" for $8.99. A 24-count from Wellsley Farms costs $12.99 at BJ's. 

These flaky, buttery cookies are made without artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, and the big tub makes them easy to share. Serve palmiers alongside coffee or hot chocolate, crumble them over ice cream or yogurt, or set them out on a dessert board. 

They're also a simple, crowd-pleasing addition to holiday cookie trays or a hostess gift basket. They also pair well with fresh berries or a cup of espresso.

Price: $10.99

What makes this "jelly" French? Unlike other brand-name jams, this beloved blend is made in France. A sweet blend of cherries, raspberries, red currants, and strawberries gives this 36-ounce jar of non-GMO, gluten-free fruit spread a fresh, zesty flavor.

Target sells the same product in a 13-ounce size for $6.19. You would need to pay over $17 to get Costco's quantity. Spread it on toast, croissants, or baguette slices, swirl it into yogurt or oatmeal, or use it as a filling for thumbprint cookies and crepes. 

It also makes a sweet glaze for roasted meats, or a quick topping for cheesecake, pancakes, and the brie on this list.

Price: $6.99 per pound

While this bulk buy doesn't come straight from France, it does have an unmistakably French feel. Imagine yourself sitting by the Seine, drinking a glass of Merlot, and snacking on two varieties of grape, strawberries, aged cheddar, and fresh gouda cheese. 

The tray comes ready to serve with no slicing or prep, making it an easy pick for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. Fruit can vary by location, and some trays include blueberries. 

Because it's sold by the pound, the final price depends on the tray's weight, and an average tray typically weighs around 3 pounds, so it can easily feed a crowd.

Bon appetit! 

Price: $8.69

Crafted by French bakers, this classic "bread with chocolate" is a tasty treat your whole family will enjoy. Warm the flaky croissant-like pastry and add it to your breakfast or brunch menu. If you have a serious sweet tooth, serve this gourmet goody for dessert with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of caramel syrup. 

Each bag holds 16 individually wrapped pastries made in France, which makes them easy to grab for busy mornings or pack in a lunch. Bring them to room temperature or warm one in a toaster oven or skillet for a few minutes to soften the chocolate. Store extras according to the package directions, since the bag advises against refreezing them once they've thawed.

Price: $19.99

Duck a l'orange, duck confit, and pressed duck are just a few of French cuisine's most popular duck recipes. Now, you can play the role of Julia Child and experiment with your own culinary creations. 

The half duck comes fully cooked and gluten-free, so it just needs heating. Maple Leaf Farms suggests baking it at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes after thawing. It also works in the air fryer or on the grill. For a crisper skin, the brand suggests a quick dip in a 350-degree deep fryer for about five minutes.

Redditor Russbuss711 suggested, "450 in the air fryer until crisp, glazed with some orange marmalade. Very good, very little effort."

Price: $21.49

French food deserves a French beverage. And while champagne might be your drink of choice, this sparkling water is a close second. For $21.49, this 24-count of 16.9-ounce bottles is a bargain. Amazon sells the same case for over $36. 

The unflavored, zero-calorie bubbles come in resealable plastic bottles, so you can stash a few in the fridge, pack them in a cooler, or toss one in your bag on the go. Serve it over ice with a twist of lemon or lime, or use it as a fizzy mixer for mocktails and spritzers. A case also lasts a while when you're hosting dinner guests.

You don't have to break the bank to satisfy your French food craving. Pass on pricey bistros and skip expensive cafes. Our roundup of Costco's top buys includes deals on delicacies you won't find in restaurants or specialty stores.

Even though you might start your Costco shopping trip with a list of French foods, you'll find more than just bargains on baguettes. You can also save money on groceries, beauty buys, pet products, and more.

Just keep in mind that availability varies by warehouse, and some items rotate in and out, so check the Costco app or call your local club before you make a special trip.
