11 Costco Items Shoppers Say Are the Best-Kept Secrets

Costco fans are famously vocal about their favorite store items – and will let you know if they can't find their preferred products on the shelves. Since the store's Kirkland Signature brand is often great (and cheap!) it makes sense that those products, from meat to liquor and everything in between are often lauded as the best.

But what about the non-Kirkland products that shoppers just can't get enough of? Sometimes you'll make a new discovery while shopping at the warehouse and it'll become an instant classic. Other times, you'll be delighted to find that grocery store favorite at Costco but at a much cheaper price. Either way, you win!

We've rounded up some of the top buys at Costco that aren't Kirkland so you can add them to your cart the next time you're in store.

Heavenly Hunks Organic Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies

Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and made with real ingredients, these square little cookies – aka "hunks" have their devoted fans. "Heavenly Hunks oatmeal chocolate chip. These things are so good no swear they taste like you're eating cookie dough," said one fan on Reddit. Their 22oz Organic heavenly hunks, Organic 20oz E&C's Heavenly Hunks Drizzles, and Organic Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Minis are available exclusively at Costco.

Bibigo Mini Wontons, Chicken & Cilantro

These fully cooked wontons heat up in just 5 minutes and contain chicken and cilantro in a delicate wrapper. "Bibigo frozen mini chicken and cilantro wontons are a staple," wrote a Redditor. Toss them in a salad or soup, or serve them as an appetizer.

"I put those wontons into the Shin ramen soup when I make it," chimed in another Redditor. "I also throw in some frozen shrimp. Cooks in 2 mins and really amps up the packaged ramen."
