Curious to see the latest finds? I rounded up my 19 favorite kitchenware items from my visit to Costco’s! They always have such awesome deals there, from solid foundation must-haves to quirky gadgets I never even knew existed.
The struggle not to take all of them back home is real. My solution is to only take home one item at a time. You’ll see my latest haul’s pick on this list, as well as all the other items I liked best.
No one is paying me anything to be featured on this list, by the way. I wish they were! This list is a reflection of my taste and opinions. Leave me a comment when you’re done to let me know what you think about these items!
1. Melamine 5-Piece Serving Set ($18.79)
I spotted this gorgeous melamine serving set and immediately thought “charcuterie board upgrade!” The set includes one large oval platter and three smaller bowls, all with that elegant beaded rim detail that makes them look way more expensive than they are.
At $18.79, you’re getting a complete entertaining solution that’s dishwasher safe and durable enough for outdoor parties. The charcoal gray color is so sophisticated that it’ll make everything you serve look more intentional and stylish.
Perfect for Year-Round Entertaining
What I love about melamine is how practical it is without sacrificing style. These pieces are lightweight enough for poolside entertaining but elegant enough for indoor dinner parties. Another great feature with this set is the lids. It’s the small details!
2. ThermoFlask Insulated Food Jar 2-Pack ($32.99)
These colorful ThermoFlask food jars caught my eye immediately – and honestly, how could they not with all those gorgeous pastel colors lined up like a rainbow? You’re getting serious value for insulated food storage at $32.99 for a 2-pack of 20 oz jars.
These aren’t just pretty to look at. They’re made with stainless steel and double-wall insulation, which means your soup stays hot and your cold salads stay chilly. The non-slip base is a thoughtful touch that shows ThermoFlask really thought about how people actually use these things.
3. Acacia Wood Serving Tray ($17.49)
Here’s another item that caught my eye. The rich wood grain and clean lines give it that modern farmhouse look that works with any decor style. At this price point, it’s the kind of piece that looks way more expensive than it actually is. The packaging shows it styled so beautifully with candles and small plants. Clearly designed to be both functional and decorative.
Perfect for So Much More Than Serving
What I love about a good wooden tray is how versatile it is. Yes, you can use it for serving breakfast in bed or carrying drinks to the patio, but it’s also perfect as a coffee table styling piece or bathroom organizer. Acacia wood is naturally durable and water-resistant, so it’ll hold up well to daily use.
4. Build-a-Board Bamboo Serving Board with Locking Lid ($19.99)
Now this is clever! I’ve seen plenty of charcuterie boards, but this Build-a-Board by Sabatier takes it to the next level with that clear locking lid. At $19.99, you’re getting a bamboo serving board that doubles as storage – perfect for prepping your spread ahead of time and keeping everything fresh. And notice that little asterisk? That’s Costco’s “death star” which means once these are gone, they won’t be restocking them.
A Game-Changer for Entertaining
What I love most about this design is how it solves the biggest charcuterie board problem – timing! You can build your entire spread hours ahead of your party, snap on that lid, and everything stays fresh in the fridge. No more last-minute scrambling to arrange cheese and crackers while guests are arriving.
5. Pyrex 8-Piece Decorated Food Storage Set ($17.99)
Hello Kitty and Disney Stitch designs that make food storage fun! At $17.99 for an 8-piece set (4 vessels and 4 lids), you’re getting legitimate Pyrex quality with designs that’ll make you smile every time you open the fridge.
The glass construction means they’re microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe – all the durability you expect from Pyrex but with that extra dose of personality. Whether you’re team Hello Kitty or team Stitch, these are way cuter than boring clear containers.
Finally, Food Storage That Sparks Joy
I love how these prove that functional doesn’t have to mean boring. The different sizes are perfect for everything from leftover pasta to meal prep portions, and let’s be honest – you’re way more likely to actually use containers that make you happy when you see them.
The Pyrex quality means these will last for years, and the cute designs make them perfect for bringing dishes to potlucks or storing treats for kids.
6. Bentgo Glass Salad Container 2-Pack ($19.99)
Here’s another great deal with an instant rebate: these Bentgo glass salad containers were originally $24.99 but are now $19.99 with a $5 manufacturer’s rebate. And there’s that asterisk again, so these won’t last long!
What makes these special is the all-in-one design with separate compartment trays and leak-proof sauce containers that nest right in the lids. You can prep your entire salad – greens, toppings, protein, and dressing – all in one container without anything getting soggy or mixed together until you’re ready to eat.
Meal Prep Made Actually Easy
I’m always skeptical of “all-in-one” products, but these actually solve real problems. The glass bowls can go from freezer to microwave to dishwasher, and the compartment system means you can prep salads on Sunday that still taste fresh on Wednesday. The leak-proof sauce containers are genius – no more sad, soggy lettuce because your dressing leaked everywhere.
7. Tupperware XL Food Storage Container ($12.99)
This massive Tupperware container caught my attention because of the sheer size – at 1.5 gallons (6 liters), this thing is serious about storage! The packaging shows someone fitting an entire rotisserie chicken inside, which gives you a perfect sense of scale.
At $12.99, you’re getting that classic Tupperware quality with the flexible lid and large tab that makes it easy to open even when your hands are full. The grooved tray with handles is a thoughtful touch that makes it easier to lift heavy items in and out of the container.
Perfect for Big Batch Everything
What I love about having one really large container like this is how versatile it becomes. Yes, you can store that whole rotisserie chicken, but think about all the other possibilities – marinating a large roast, storing big batches of soup or chili, keeping party-sized salads fresh, or even organizing non-food items like craft supplies or seasonal decorations.
8. Trudeau Lazy Susan Seasoning Station ($24.99)
This Trudeau seasoning station is the kind of purchase that makes you wonder why you waited so long to get organized! At $24.99 for a 6-piece set, you get the acacia wood lazy Susan base plus oil and vinegar bottles, salt mill, and pepper mill – everything you need to create a proper seasoning station on your counter.
The matte black finish on the mills and bottles looks so sleek and modern, while the warm wood base adds that perfect natural touch. I love how everything fits together on the rotating base, so you can just spin it to find exactly what you need while cooking.
Seasoning That Actually Gets Used
When everything is visible and easily accessible on your counter, you’re so much more likely to actually season your food properly! The lazy Susan design means even the items in the back are just a quick spin away.
9. Manna 64oz Jug with 4 Stackable Cups ($29.99)
This Manna insulated jug set is such a smart concept – a 64oz double-wall stainless steel jug that comes with four matching stackable cups that store right in the lid! At $29.99, you’re getting a complete beverage station that’s perfect for camping, picnics, or even just keeping drinks cold during backyard parties.
The Ultimate Portable Drink Station
What makes this set brilliant is how it effectively solves the “bringing drinks for a group” problem. Instead of juggling a cooler, ice, and separate cups, you’ve got everything in one compact unit that keeps drinks at the right temperature for hours.
The 64oz capacity is perfect for a family of four or small group, and since it’s hand wash only, you know the insulation will last. At about $7.50 per cup plus the jug, it’s an incredibly good value for a complete matching set. This is the kind of purchase that makes outdoor entertaining so much easier and more organized.
10. Starbucks 24oz Tumbler Set & 6 Iced Coffee Pods ($24.99)
These gorgeous holographic Starbucks tumblers are like rainbows in a cup! The set includes two 24oz double-wall tumblers plus six iced coffee K-Cup pods (3 black, 3 vanilla) to get you started.
And there’s that asterisk, so these are limited! The holographic finish is absolutely stunning and changes colors as you move it around. The included BPA-free Tritan straws are a nice touch, and at this size, they’re perfect for your daily iced coffee habit.
More Than Just Pretty Cups
I like how functional these tumblers are for keeping your drinks at the right temperature. The double-wall construction means your iced drinks stay cold without creating condensation rings on your furniture. Perfect for summer!
11. Fortessa Jupiter 8-Piece Drinkware Set ($15.00)
Here’s another item with the “death star” asterisk – these beautiful Fortessa Jupiter glasses with that stunning beaded texture! At $15 for 8 pieces, you’re paying less than $2 per glass for quality drinkware that looks way more expensive.
The 13oz size is perfect for everything from water to cocktails, and that textured design gives them such an elegant, vintage-inspired look. You can choose between the clear or blue versions, though availability seems to be shifting as they clear out inventory.
Vintage Charm at Modern Prices
They’re so decorative, too, with this beaded design! The Fortessa brand is known for quality, so these aren’t just pretty faces that’ll chip after a few uses. At under $2 per glass, you could easily pick up multiple sets for different occasions or as backup glassware. The fact that they’re dishwasher safe makes them practical for everyday use, not just special occasions.
12. Gourmet Settings 20-Piece Flatware Set ($29.99)
I spotted these stainless steel flatware sets, and they’re honestly impressive for $29.99. You have two sleek styles to pick from: “Mode” and “Luxe.” Both have a polished, modern look that actually feels substantial when you hold them. None of that flimsy nonsense. Dishwasher safe, sturdy enough for everyday use, and priced right.
13. Henckels Paradigm Hybrid Non-Stick Skillet Set ($109.99)
Okay, these skillets had me pausing for a minute at Costco. Yes, they’re pricier at $109.99, but you’re getting three hybrid non-stick pans (8″, 10″, 12″) that combine stainless steel durability with a genuinely non-stick interior. Oven-safe, dishwasher-safe, and induction-friendly, too.
Pans that Do it All
I confess, part of my fun here was with making these swing on the shelf. They’re really nice, pretty, and have a good weight. They look built tough enough for daily cooking, but that surface will still release food easily. Plus, the handles feel great. Actually comfortable to hold, not just nice-looking. If you cook often, this is definitely one of those “worth the splurge” finds.
14. Tramontina 12″ Enameled Cast Iron Skillet ($39.99)
My dutch oven is one of my favorite kitchen items. Something about that traditional cast iron helps motivate me to cook. If I had the room for one more, this skillet would be going home with me.
At $39.99, you’re snagging a 12-inch skillet with a solid lid that’s actually pretty enough to serve directly from the oven.
This Could Be Your New Kitchen Workhorse
Cast iron skillets hold heat beautifully, cook evenly, and even handle induction cooktops. It’s a classic piece you’ll end up reaching for constantly. Bonus points for looking gorgeous sitting on your stovetop. The one on display was white, but they also had it in blue on the shelves.
15. Over&Back 16-Piece Dinnerware Set ($39.99)
These Over&Back dinnerware sets stopped me in my tracks – you know when you see dishes that just look right? At $39.99 for 16 pieces, you’re getting a complete service for four in either this gorgeous neutral cream color or a sophisticated blue-grey. The packaging shows everything laid out so beautifully, and I love how they’ve styled it with those natural elements like the woven placemat and wooden spoons.
Dishes That Actually Make You Want to Set the Table
The slightly raised rim gives them a restaurant-quality feel, but they’re still casual enough for Tuesday night tacos. Sometimes it’s the simple upgrades like new dishes that make everyday meals feel a little more special, you know?
16. Denmark All-Purpose Bowls Set of 4 ($12.99)
Okay, these Denmark bowls had me doing a double-take at that price – $12.99 for a set of four? The display shows them in these beautiful soft colors with that ribbed texture on the outside that gives them such a nice tactile feel. I’m especially drawn to that spring green one, which is giving me major vintage milk glass vibes but with a modern twist.
Mix and Match Magic
What’s clever about these is how each bowl has a different pattern inside – some have that delicate geometric print while others keep it simple. The packaging promises they’re good for everything, and honestly, at this price point, why not? They’d be perfect for everything from morning cereal to serving snacks when friends come over.
17. MiU 8-Piece Silicone Utensil Set ($23.99)
These MiU utensil sets caught my eye with those gorgeous wooden handles – you can choose between beech wood or black walnut, and both look like they belong in a fancy kitchen store.
At $23.99 for eight pieces, you’re getting all the essentials with those heat-resistant silicone heads that won’t scratch your nice pans. I love that they come with loops for hanging, and the packaging shows each grain pattern is unique, so your set will have its own personality.
18. Nordic Ware Naturals Oven Crisping Set ($12.00)
As I said, I limit myself to buying just one item at each visit, and this was the one I took home with me. My kids love extra crispy roasted chicken thighs and I always struggle with the juices in the pan. This should solve the problem!
While I’ve seen this pan before, the asterisks there told me it won’t be around for much longer, so for $12, I just grabbed mine and never looked back.
19. 2.5″ Ice Sphere Molds ($9.99)
I wasn’t sure what these were at first. Turns out they’re silicone ice molds that create beautiful spherical ice chunks. Definitely not the kind of item you see every day, and again, a lowered price available while stocks last.
These are sure to be a conversation starter
Yes, my first thought was “who needs ice this big?” but I think I get it. Put one in a large jug and it’ll keep your drink cold for hours. Put them in a glass, and they’ll get your guests talking about the icy cannon balls you just served.
