July 2026: Hot Costco Items You Won't Want To Miss

It seems like we're always finding something that tickles our fancy at Costco, whether it's high-fat 6% Amul Gold milk for our cereal and baking or a Farberware charcuterie board to show off at all our summer parties. Every month, the flip of the calendar brings new and exciting products to Costco warehouses. As we look ahead to July, we see some very promising food items and kitchen supplies that we simply gotta have ... all of which are fresh arrivals at the store. From electrolyte popsicles for beating midsummer dehydration to strawberry protein shakes for fueling our gains, our Costco shopping list is popping. 

Just as was the case with our June 2026 list of the best new Costco finds, all pricing information is accurate as of this writing, but warehouse and/or online availability is subject to change. Part of the joy of Costco shopping — and the main reason we brave the crazy parking lot at our local store — is that going there is like a massive treasure hunt. While some staple items remain on shelves from month to month, others are limited-time buys that you need to cherish while they last. Double-check for these new arrivals on your next Costco trip and determine for yourself whether they deserve a place in your cart. 

Plastic isn't ever truly microwave-safe, which can make storing and reheating leftovers dicey. With this handsome set of glass food storage containers by Bentgo, safe containment doesn't need to be an issue again. We love how the storage boxes and bowls come in different shapes and sizes to maximize room in our fridge. Glass is definitely an investment, being more costly than standard plastic containers, but it will last and last with gentle care. 

Purchase Bentgo 18-piece Signature Glass Food Storage for $59.99. 

Alani Nu isn't one of the energy drink brands that contain the most caffeine, but we feel like you can't beat it for flavor variety.

Plus, the size of the bulk pack makes stocking up effortless.

There's a whole list of foods with more protein than eggs, but when you need a protein fix on the go, customers like Premier Protein's line of grab-and-go drinks. Each drink affords you 30 grams of protein, which isn't small potatoes. We think you might be tempted by the strawberries & cream variety, which will sing the song of summer while fueling you all day long.

If you want a healthier chicken sandwich, you could learn to butterfly chicken and butcher cuts yourself, but the brand Skinny Butcher has you covered with grilled chicken patties ready to heat up and slide into your next sando. We love that the patties are already fully cooked, offering quick access to a handheld, protein-packed meal when you need it — just add the condiments of your choice and some scrumptious air-fried veggies.

Alongside the red, white, and blue potato salad you'll want to serve at your 4th of July party, you're gonna need a patriotic dessert.

Score a dozen in one convenient box and freeze 'em for the big day.

They're cheaper than takeout and plentiful enough to feed a crowd. What's not to love?

Orange juice may be more hydrating than water, but when you need a cool, refreshing hydration boost on the go, you might reach for one of these electrolyte fruit pops.
