Don’t miss out: 7 Costco deals you need to snag before the holiday rush
- Replies 0
The countdown to July 4th is officially on, and for anyone planning to host, travel, or just kick back at home, one question matters most: what’s worth buying before the long weekend hits?
Costco’s massive selection can be overwhelming, but hidden among those towering shelves are real gems—items that elevate your cookout, save you time, and actually deliver on value.
Whether you're stocking up for a backyard barbecue or packing for a road trip, knowing which deals to grab now will make all the difference.
1. Artstyle Paper Plate & Napkin Bundle, Patriotic Pride
Nobody wants to be stuck doing dishes during a July 4th celebration, and Costco’s $28.99 Artstyle Paper Plate & Napkin Bundle solves that fast.
The set includes 100 red, white, and blue-themed plates and 100 napkins—plenty for multiple servings, seconds, and unexpected guests.
The plates are sturdier than typical paperware, capable of holding up under hot dogs, burgers, and BBQ sides without collapsing.
One shopper called them “perfect for a Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Labor Day or any event where you are celebrating the USA.”
2. Hot Dogs: Hebrew National & Kirkland Signature Beef Franks
You can’t do July 4th without hot dogs, and Costco carries two standout options: Hebrew National 100% Kosher Beef Franks and Kirkland Signature Beef Dinner Franks.
Reviewers don’t hold back—one said, “Best beef hot dog I have ever tasted! Better than Nathans, Ball Park, and so many others that claim to be the best tasting!”
Another wrote, “These are the best hotdogs ever. Love them.” With Costco’s bulk packs, you’ll have enough for the grill, plus extras for the freezer.
3. French’s Classic Yellow Mustard: The Unsung Hero
Costco’s two-pack of French’s Classic Yellow Mustard—two 30 oz bottles for just $5.39—is a steal that covers every barbecue table.
“This is my favorite mustard and you can’t get it at a better price than Costco’s,” one shopper said.
It’s a pantry staple not just for hot dogs, but also for deviled eggs, marinades, and potato salads. Another review noted, “So much CHEAPER than current local stores & it’s a pantry staple.”
4. Vita Coco Coconut Water: Stay Hydrated
Whether you're grilling or soaking up the sun, staying hydrated is key—and a full case of Vita Coco Coconut Water is just $18.49.
“It’s like a tropical vacation in a bottle,” one fan raved. Another added, “The value for money is the real cherry on top of this coconut sundae.”

5. Trident Seafoods Alaskan Salmon Burgers
For a leaner option that still hits the mark on flavor, consider Trident Seafoods Alaskan Salmon Burgers.
One shopper noted, “These wild-caught salmon patties make me a 5-star burger chef.” Another added, “Great for taste and healthy diet. Highly recommended.”
6. Solo Stove S’mores Fire Bowl Set
This $69.99 fire bowl set brings all the charm of a campfire without the hassle or smoke, and it’s perfect for backyard s’mores.
“The setup is almost nonexistent… It is easy to extinguish,” one reviewer said. Some customers even use citronella gel to double it as a bug repellent—“perfect for Miami mosquitos!” another added. It’s an easy win for post-dinner ambiance and dessert.

7. New Primal Chicken and Maple Snack Mates
Found in select Costco locations, New Primal’s Chicken and Maple Snack Mates are a parent-approved hit.
Kids devour them, adults stash them in bags for errands, and they’re packed with protein and just enough sweetness to keep everyone happy.
“Kids went through 2 bags as school snacks,” one shopper commented online. If you see them, stock up—they tend to vanish fast.
