Three Costco snacks people swear by — the ones they always buy again
Shopping at Costco can be a hit-or-miss experience when everything comes in huge sizes. Still, regulars have their go-to picks, and lately the crowd is loving snack options that feel healthier and easier to portion. Top repeat buys include the Kirkland Mixed Nut Spread, Crispy Sweet Potato, and SnakYard Shiitake Mushroom Chips.
Kirkland Mixed Nut Spread stands out for its texture combo
This isn’t your average peanut butter.
Peanuts and cashews form a rich, toasty base.
Pumpkin seeds, chia and flax add little pops of crunch for an interesting mouthfeel.
Those tiny seed bits keep surprising you with each bite,
so the seed textures really shine through.
Its savory depth makes it versatile.
People slather it on toast, pair it with banana, or sprinkle it over yogurt.
It’s also widely praised for not being overly sweet.
About 12,000 KRW (≈ $9.00 USD) — shoppers say the jar size feels worth it
True to Costco form, the container is generous.
That makes it a hit with families or anyone who snacks regularly.
“One jar lasts a while,” many note,
and people are often surprised by how many uses they find for it.
Crispy Sweet Potato keeps the sweetness clean and light
Many sweet potato snacks veer too sweet or get sticky.
Shoppers say this version tastes more like real sweet potato than sugar-coated chips.
That makes it an easy, less-guilt snack option.
The texture is satisfyingly crisp.
The crunch is the star, just like the name promises.
It feels like a chip but with a milder profile, so it’s great for casual snacking.
It’s not the same as dried sweet potato slices — it’s crunchier and more snack-like.
At around 13,000 KRW (≈ $9.75 USD), shoppers say there’s plenty to go around
Many admit that once the bag’s open, it’s hard to stop reaching in.
It’s a common pick for kids’ snacks or to keep in the office kitchen.
SnakYard Shiitake Mushroom Chips are a hit with mushroom lovers
These chips keep the shiitake’s distinctive aroma while turning them delightfully crunchy.
Reviewers say they taste savory and clean rather than greasy.
If you love mushroom flavor, this one delivers.
They’re mushrooms, but they crunch like chips,
and the subtle aroma paired with the crisp texture keeps people coming back.
They’re also popular as a beer snack.
Because they’re salty but not overpowering, many enjoy them as a simple appetizer.
People often find them less oily than regular potato chips.
Priced around 13,000 KRW (≈ $9.75 USD), they keep earning repeat buys
The mushroom aroma won’t be for everyone,
but fans clearly repurchase regularly.
The takeaway: snacks that aren’t overwhelming
What ties these three together is a focus on the ingredient’s natural flavor rather than heavy sweetness or aggressive seasoning.
That’s why shoppers hunting for lower-guilt snack options at Costco keep bringing them up.
I’ll have to look for them next time I’m at Costco,
Exactly — when items get steady word-of-mouth buzz, there’s usually a reason.
