5 Things to Grab at Costco Before Easter Sales Are Gone
The aisles of Costco are currently a battleground for holiday shoppers as the warehouse giant rolls out its final 2026 Easter “Hot Buys.” From high-end proteins that anchor the dinner table to bulk-sized spring decor, the savings are significant for those who act before the weekend rush.
With the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement influencing 2026 buying habits, Costco has notably increased its stock of organic, pasture-raised options and dye-free treats. If you are looking to feed a crowd without the boutique price tag, these five items are the absolute must-grabs before the “Member-Only” savings vanish on Saturday night.
Kirkland Signature New Zealand Lamb
The centerpiece of a traditional Easter dinner is currently Costco’s best value in the meat department. For 2026, the warehouse is offering a “Limit 2” deal on vacuum-sealed legs of lamb and racks, which are consistently priced 30% lower than local specialty butchers. This New Zealand-sourced lamb is grass-fed and antibiotic-free, aligning perfectly with the year's focus on “clean-label” proteins. Whether you plan to roast it with garlic and rosemary or grill it as chops, this high-quality meat is the first thing to disappear from the refrigerated cases as Sunday approaches.
Lindt Gold Bunny & Ferrero Rocher Bundles
Costco is the undisputed king of “bulk-luxe” chocolate, and the 2026 Easter selection is particularly strong. Look for the oversized Lindt Gold Bunny packs and the 48-count Ferrero Rocher pyramids, which are currently marked down by an additional $4 to $6 for members. These premium sweets are essential for filling baskets or creating an elegant dessert board for your guests. Because these are “seasonal-in, seasonal-out” items, once the current pallets are empty, they will not be restocked until 2027, making this your final window for high-end chocolate at wholesale prices.
Kirkland Signature Carrot Bar Cake
The legendary bakery department has brought back the Carrot Bar Cake for 2026, and it is already a viral sensation among members. This 41-ounce cake features moist, spiced layers studded with raisins, pineapple, and walnuts, topped with a tangier-than-usual cream cheese frosting. At $18.99, it serves up to 20 people, making it an incredibly cost-effective centerpiece for a large Easter brunch. The inclusion of real fruit and nuts gives it a “homemade” texture that rivals high-end bakeries, and it's sold in the refrigerated section to maintain that fresh-whipped frosting consistency.
Raspberry-Filled Sugar Cookies
A brand-new 2026 addition to the bakery is the 15-count pack of raspberry-filled sugar cookies, which members are describing as a cross between a soft cookie and shortbread. These fluted treats are filled with sweet raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar, offering a lighter, fruitier alternative to the usual heavy chocolate desserts. Priced at $10.99, they are specifically designed for “grab-and-go” hosting, fitting perfectly into the pastel-colored theme of a spring table. Fans of the discontinued raspberry crumble cookies are already calling these a superior, softer replacement for the holiday season.
Kirkland Signature Organic Maple Syrup
With the 2026 shift away from high-fructose corn syrup, Costco’s 1-liter jugs of Organic Maple Syrup are flying off the shelves for Easter brunch prep. This Grade A Amber syrup is a “pantry powerhouse” for glazing hams, sweetening roasted carrots, or drenching stacks of sourdough pancakes. During the Easter sale window, keep an eye out for “Instant Savings” that often bring the price down to an unbeatable $10-$12 range. It is a clean, single-ingredient sweetener that ensures your holiday meal is free from the artificial additives that guests are increasingly looking to avoid this year.
