12 Must-Grab Costco August Bargains Worth Stocking Your Kitchen With

August is here, and with it a fresh wave of pumpkin-flavored foods and drinks that are shooting straight to the top of shoppers' carts.

Costco's late-summer (or should we say early fall?) refresh mixes limited-edition seasonal arrivals with everyday staples, so it's one of the best months of the year to make the most of your Costco membership while stocking the kitchen for cozy-season cooking.

This roundup pulls together some of the strongest values on the shelves right now, from a limited-edition pumpkin spice protein shake to a few pantry heroes and two kitchen upgrades.

Price: $28.99

Kick off fall with the shake everyone waits all year for. This limited-edition pumpkin spice version comes in an 18-pack, with 30 grams of protein, 25 vitamins and minerals, and just 1 gram of sugar per bottle (no added sugar, gluten-free, and built for energy and immune support).

At $28.99, it's marked down $8 from $36.99, which pencils out to about 15 cents an ounce for a grab-and-go breakfast. Shopper auntdebb said: "Good product with various flavors available from the manufacturer." With a 4.7-star average across more than 2,500 reviews, it's an easy one to toss in the cart before it disappears.

Price: $11.89

Just dropped and flagged "New" on Costco.com, this organic granola folds pumpkin seeds and flax into a crunchy, lightly sweet blend that tastes like the season. The 35.3-ounce bag is big enough to carry a household through weeks of breakfasts.

Spoon it over yogurt, layer it into a fall parfait, or eat it by the handful. At under $12 for an organic bag this size, it's a genuinely low-risk way to try one of the month's freshest arrivals.

Price: $13.49

If you've never met these, consider this your warning: they vanish fast. Sweet-and-salty clusters pack cashews and almonds together with pumpkin seeds for a crunch that leans right into fall snacking.

The 2-pound bag rings up at $13.49, and with more than 3,400 reviews behind it, this is one of those Kirkland cult items regulars buy two of at a time.

Price: $11.99

Pumpkin seeds earn their keep this time of year. These are sprouted, organic, and finished with sea salt, so they work as a straight-up snack or a topper that adds crunch to soups, salads, and grain bowls.

You get a hefty 22-ounce bag for $11.99, and with 830 reviews, it's a proven pick for anyone stocking up on wholesome, seasonal munchies.

Price: $38.99

Cooler mornings call for a bolder cup, and Major Dickason's is Peet's signature dark roast — 100% Arabica, rich and full-bodied, and compatible with any Keurig brewer. The box holds 75 pods, so a daily drinker is set for months.

Right now it's $38.99 after a $9 instant savings, and with more than 7,000 reviews, it's one of the most-loved coffees Costco stocks. Buying pods in this kind of bulk is where the real per-cup savings live.

Price: $17.49

Summer's not over yet, and this 24-can variety pack keeps the fridge stocked with fizzy, lightly flavored Italian sparkling water in 11.15-ounce cans. It's the kind of upgrade that makes plain water feel like a treat.

At $17.49 after a $4.50 instant savings, it works out to well under a dollar a can for a name you'd pay a premium for at the grocery store. Grab it while the discount holds.

Price: $21.99

Some snacks never go out of season. This 48-ounce tub of crunchy almonds wrapped in smooth milk chocolate is a fixture in Costco carts for a reason — it's the perfect one-two of sweet and salty.

At $21.99 for three full pounds, it's an affordable crowd-pleaser to keep on hand for lunchboxes, movie nights, or the candy dish once trick-or-treat season creeps in.

Price: $14.99

Weeknights get a whole lot easier with these on the shelf. Each bowl of medium-grain sticky rice microwaves in about 90 seconds — no measuring, no pot to scrub — ready to anchor a stir-fry, curry, or rice bowl.

The 12-pack is $14.99, or roughly $1.25 a serving, and with more than 770 reviews, it's a proven pantry shortcut for busy households.

Price: $10.99

Real bacon flavor without the skillet mess. This 20-ounce bag of fully cooked crumbles keeps in the pantry and shakes right onto salads, baked potatoes, soups, and eggs whenever you need it. For $10.99, it's a small-price, big-payoff staple.

Costco member Pamela A approves it, leaving a review saying, "Excellent flavor, smokey flavor! I've used this bacon in many, many recipes, and they are real and add the flavor a good cook needs. Remember to refrigerate after opening."

Price: $11.99

As soup weather rolls in, this is the pantry backbone worth stocking deep. The pack includes six 32-ounce cartons of organic chicken stock — enough for a season of soups, braises, risottos, and gravies.

At $11.99 for all six, it's about $2 a carton, and with nearly 5,000 4.8-star reviews, it's a reliable base cooks reach for again and again. Pair it with the Dutch oven below, and you're set for fall.

Price: $149.99

Here's the splurge that actually saves you money. This two-piece set pairs a 5.3-quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven with a 3.7-quart braiser, both with lids — the workhorses behind every good braise, stew, and Sunday sauce.

For perspective, a single Le Creuset Signature Round Dutch Oven in the 5.5-quart size starts at $348. This set gets you two pieces for $149.99, making it one of the best cookware values in the warehouse this month.

Price: $30.99

Every stocked kitchen needs storage that lasts, and this set delivers nine tempered-glass containers with nine airtight, write-and-erase lids. The glass is microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe and oven-safe up to 450°F, so leftovers go straight from fridge to oven.

It's $30.99 after a $5 instant savings, down from $35.99. With a 4.6-star rating across more than 12,600 reviews, it's the highest-reviewed pick on this list — and a foundation piece worth grabbing on sale.

Costco's August shelves are a rare mix of just-arrived fall flavors and dependable everyday values, which makes it a smart month to stock up before the seasonal items sell through. Loading up on weekly deals like these can also help you save more money on groceries all season long.
