While Costco is known for bulk basics and bargain prices, the warehouse also stocks surprisingly luxurious items that feel indulgent without the boutique markup.

From French bakery-quality pastries to premium snacks and artisan candles, these current Costco finds prove you don’t need a special occasion to enjoy the finer things. The best part? Each item delivers luxury-level quality at Costco prices, making everyday indulgence actually affordable.

Almond Croissant Pastries

  • Price: $12.47

Costco’s bakery introduced these French-style almond croissants in early 2025 and they’ve already gone viral across social media. Made with buttery croissant dough, filled with sweet almond paste and topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar, these pastries taste like something from a high-end pâtisserie.

A six-pack costs $12.47, which breaks down to about $2 per pastry. Compare that to the $5 or more you’d pay per almond croissant at a coffee shop or bakery and the value becomes clear. The pastries are ready to eat straight from the package or you can warm them in the oven for a few minutes to recreate that fresh-from-the-bakery experience.

Bellevue Luxury Candles

Price: $22.69

Candles might seem like an odd luxury purchase at a warehouse club, but Costco’s Bellevue Luxury Candles four-pack delivers serious upscale vibes for less than $23 bucks. Each 12-ounce candle from Costco comes in embossed decorative glass with a 48-hour burn time.

The scent selection feels curated for sophisticated tastes: Cardamom and Plum, Fern and Rainwater, Monk Fruit and Vanilla and Ember and Tobacco. These aren’t your basic vanilla or lavender candles. The complex fragrance profiles and quality glass containers look expensive enough to display year-round.

Kirkland Signature Caramel S’mores Clusters

  • Price: $13.15

Costco has built a reputation for premium chocolate treats and the $13.15 Kirkland Signature caramel s’mores clusters continue that tradition. The clusters combine crunchy pretzels, buttery caramel, smooth milk chocolate, grahams and marshmallow into an addictive sweet-and-salty combination.

These have quickly become a favorite among Costco customers. You’ll have to stop yourself from finishing the whole package in one sitting. The milk chocolate also makes it kid-friendly compared to other dark chocolate versions, making it work for the whole household.

Editor’s note: Pricing and availability may vary depending on location.
