18 Costco Products That Will Make You Nostalgic for the ‘90s

The 1990s were the decade when Saturday morning cartoons and sugary cereal went hand in hand, and somehow parents were convinced that toaster pastries counted as a balanced breakfast. It was a glorious era of catchy jingles and foods that promised fun in every bite.

Convenience ruled the kitchen, and the best foods were eaten with your hands while watching TV. If you were a '90s kid, you were raised on flavors that were bigger, bolder, and more colorful than what came before.

Now you can relive those memories and save money on groceries, with the following '90s favorites available at Costco.

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

Price: $25

These days, bagels are everywhere. They weren't as common in the '90s, at least on the West Coast. I do remember my first pizza bagel, and it was so satisfying.

Snack-sized pizza bagel bites combine the chew of a bagel with classic tomato sauce and melted cheese.

These have seven grams of protein per serving. You can microwave them, but I like them air-fried.

Price: $419.99

I'm sure if you heard the "beeps" and "boops" of a Game Boy, it would bring you right back to the '90s.

This Nintendo Switch OLED brings back the magic of portable gaming but with a backlit, high-definition screen and wireless controller that '90s kids could only dream about.

Mario the plumber is still the same! He's just in a more colorful world with better sound quality.

Price: $17.59

Do you remember when Sunny Delight was the healthy alternative to soda? Never mind that it's only 5% juice with high fructose corn syrup; this was liquid happiness and sunshine in a bottle.

The formula has changed since the '90s, but Sunny D from Costco packs 100% of the daily recommended dose of vitamin C. At $17.59 for 30 bottles, it's a fun treat to have on hand.

Price: $499.99

Did you watch "Clueless?" From fashion to '90s slang (As if!) and a ditzy but capable heroine (with a heart of gold), that movie is still fun to watch. In the movie, Cher had a vanity setup to die for, and this Costco vanity captures it.

Plus, it has hidden storage compartments and LED mirror lighting. At $499.99, you have a piece of bedroom furniture that is da bomb.

Price: $17.49

Fruit snacks boomed in the '90s, and Fruit Roll-Ups led the charge with "real fruit and fun, rolled up in one."

Food you could play with! Some had peel-out shapes of popular TV and movie characters.

Costco's variety pack, priced at $17.49, brings back the excitement in Strawberry Blast and Tropical Tie Dye flavors. For more natural (but still fun) options, Costco has Black Forest Stretch Island Fruit Strips.

Price: $12.49

My mom never bought the "toaster pastry as a healthy breakfast" trend, but these were a breakfast staple for some '90s kids.

Pop-Tarts fit right into a decade that focused on no-fuss solutions to a fast-paced lifestyle.

Whether you eat them toasted or out of the package, Costco's 48-count box is a solid supply of these portable treats for $12.49. They are also available in Brown Sugar Cinnamon.

Price: $15.99

Why are cheese crackers tastier in the shape of a fish?

Goldfish are the "snack that smiles back." Pepperidge Farm added the smile to about 40% of the crackers in 1997, and the rest is a history of happy snackers.

If you like a mix of flavors, Costco also carries a 45-count variety pack. I'm a loyalist to the cheesy goldfish, so at $15.99, these are my on-the-go nostalgia.

Price: $10.99

The '90s were the golden age of sugary cereals, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch was the king, with its cinnamon swirls and iconic "The Taste You Can See" campaigns.

Even milk left in the bowl tasted like cookies.

Costco's 49.5-ounce dual pack gives you three pounds of cereal for about $10.99. Two separate bags mean it stays fresh longer.

Price: $15.49

I remember piercing the Capri Sun foil while talking with friends at school. These pouches are easy to carry and pack, which is why kids have loved them for decades.

Back in the '90s, Capri Sun was a small amount of juice and mostly sugar.

At $15.49, Costco's 40-count variety pack is 100% juice with no added sugars. These pouches prove that some childhood favorites get better with time.

Price: $12.99

If anything shouts, "Stop and buy me!" it's the red Cheez-It box.

Around since 1921, Cheez-Its were a staple of the '90s snack boom. People wanted convenient, portable foods, and TV commercials were gaining hold on buying choices.

At the time, "baked, not fried" meant it was a healthy food. Whether it's the real cheese or the addictive crunch, Costco's three-pound box for $12.99 is barely enough.

Price: $12.36

I can't look at a box of Kellogg's Eggo Homestyle Waffles without thinking, "L'Eggo my Eggo!"

While the slogan predates the '90s, TV commercials drummed it into our heads as the breakfast battle cry. They fit right into the pre-made and ready-to-serve trend of the time.

Costco's 72-count box means the whole family can have fluffy, crispy toaster waffles without fighting over the last one.

Price: $14.39

Nothing quite says '90s like a shelf-stable chocolate drink that looks like chocolate milk but is closer to liquid candy.

The bright yellow label calls back instant nostalgia. Costco sells boxes, but I recall the bottles in school cafeterias and corner stores.

Costco's 40-count case at $14.39 makes it an affordable treat that won't crowd your fridge.

Price: $13.49

Oreo cookies don't belong to the '90s, but they definitely bring up nostalgia. The "Twist, Lick, Dunk" campaigns and catchy O-R-E-O slogan made them a phenomenon.

Costco carries Classic Oreos or a variety pack with Classic, Golden, and the extra nostalgic Double Stuf. You can also get Oreo Minis, which debuted in 1991.

Whether you're a twister, a dunker, or eat it in a single bite, remember to buy milk.

Price: $18.49

If you were at a neighborhood party in the '90s, Chex Mix would be front and center in a bowl on the table.

You were either a scooper, eating it by the handful, or a picker who meticulously selected your favorites.

Costco's 42-count case of single-serving bags at $18.49 means you can enjoy Chex Mix your way, and no one is going to swipe the good pieces.

Price: $17.99

Today, there are so many different types of bars that they have their own grocery aisle.

Before the explosion of choices, Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey Crunchy Granola Bars were a healthy option you could find in almost any '90s family pantry.

Whether you like them for road trips or an afternoon treat, these crunchy and crumbly bars still satisfy. At Costco, you can get a 49-count box for $17.99.

Price: $15.99

Fruit Gushers are hilarious '90s snacks. They are candy with a plot twist that attempts to pass itself off as something healthy. To be fair, they do provide vitamin C.

The '90s commercials showed kids instantly turning into fruit as they chewed.

The soft outer shell hides a "gush" of fruit juice in the center. Costco's variety pack brings back Tropical Flavors and Strawberry Splash.

Price: $8.49

Dole brought tropical fruit into school cafeterias in easy-to-peel individual cups. It fit perfectly into the '90s convenience food craze with a healthier option than Fruit Roll-Ups or Gushers.

While I remember seeing peaches, pairs, and mixed fruit, Costco has adorable mandarin oranges.

Plus, if you remember heavy syrup, Dole's fruit is now in 100% fruit juice. It's a light and easy snack that won't get smushed in your bag.

Price: $13.69

True to the '90s theme of pre-packaged convenience food for busy families, Quaker Instant Oats were a favorite. Compared to "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" and other high-sugar options, instant oats were warm and healthy. Just add hot water.

My favorite was Maple & Brown Sugar. Costco's variety pack has the classic three flavors, with 52 packets for $13.69.

The '90s got something right about food and fun. Young people want choices that feel independent, look appealing, and fit their social lives and budgets. These brands succeeded because they delivered on those values with bold flavors, smart packaging, and affordable prices.

You can enjoy your favorite items at discounted, bulk prices in Costco's warehouse, helping you keep more cash in your wallet. Whether you're sharing memories with others or stocking up for your own midnight snacking sessions, Costco makes nostalgia practical. Sometimes the things that made you happy as a teenager are exactly what you need as an adult.
