So, for any Costco members who are thinking about starting their holiday shopping a little early this year, here are some of the best fall deals at Costco that really stand out.
Fresh Produce and Bulk Foods
Fresh produce and bulk foods are something you can find at Costco throughout the year. But in fall, the warehouse club has its own special selection of produce and other food items with prices and quality that are hard to beat.
“Costco’s produce section becomes a haven for fall foodies,” said Fred McGill, finance expert and founder of Next Modern Home. “Picture baskets brimming with crisp apples, plump pumpkins and juicy pears. The great deal lies in the sheer volume and quality of these autumn staples. You can’t beat the value of a giant bag of Honeycrisp apples or a colossal pumpkin for carving, making Costco a go-to destination for all your fall feasting needs.”
And try not to underestimate the benefit of bulk purchases the next time you hit the aisles at Costco.
“Costco is known for its generous portions, and fall is no exception,” said Ted Howard, gifting expert and founder of EZ Custom Gifts. “During this season, you can often find huge bags of fall favorites like apples, pumpkins and squash at prices that are hard to beat. The sheer quantity makes it perfect for stocking up on seasonal produce for pies, soups and more.”

Pet Food
Costco has a large variety of affordable, premium quality pet food, some of which is only available in the fall.
“Costco often rolls out season-themed bulk treats,” said Dr. Mollie Newton, founder of PetMeTwice. “Think apple-cinnamon flavored biscuits or pumpkin puree pouches. Not only are these flavors festive, but buying in bulk usually results in significant savings. You’re getting premium quality treats at a fraction of the cost per treat than if you shopped elsewhere.”
“Brands like Nature’s Domain offer specially formulated fall recipes,” Newton added. “Unique to Costco, they incorporate seasonal ingredients beneficial for pet health.”
When buying pet food, it’s important to keep an eye out for quality ingredients, as well as great pricing.
“It’s the unbeatable combination of Costco’s bulk pricing, premium quality and exclusivity,” said Newton. “Always cross-check the product suitability for your specific pet and consult with professionals, like us at PetMeTwice, if unsure.”
Seasonal Foods and Treats
With the arrival of fall comes a greater demand for candy and other seasonal foods for the holidays and season’s change.
“When fall hits, Costco is the ace up every bargain hunter’s sleeve,” said Nathan Jacobs, Senior Researcher at The Money Mongers. “First off, you can’t ignore the legendary pumpkin pie. It’s huge, tasty and cheap, and honestly, no fall is complete without it. Prepping for Halloween? Grab their bulk candy packs. You won’t find more bang for your buck anywhere else, and you’ll be all set for the season’s spookiest night.”
“You can’t miss the seasonal sweets like giant pumpkin pies and festive cookies,” added Howard. “These are great deals, because you get generous portions of delicious treats at prices that are hard to match elsewhere.”
Heaters
Unless you live in a perpetually warm environment, chances are you’re gearing up for the chilly fall season that lies ahead. One way to keep warm is with a portable heater, which you can find great deals on at Costco.
“To me, the Dr. Infrared Portable Heater for $114.99 is a game-changer,” said Athina Zisi, chief operations officer at Energy Casino. “It’s perfect for those chilly autumn nights when you want to enjoy your patio without freezing.”
Wool Comforters
Looking to cozy up this fall and winter? Costco offers some high-quality comforters designed to keep you warm and comfortable all night long.
“Being from Tasmania, I pay close attention to wool products,” said Tracy Kennedy, COO at Tasmania.com. “A fall deal at Costco that stands out is their exclusive range of Australian Wool Comforters.
“These comforters aren’t your run-of-the-mill bedding; they are ethically sourced and incredibly well-crafted. The quality of the wool is exceptional, providing both warmth and breathability, making it ideal for fluctuating fall temperatures. And because it’s a Costco exclusive, you know you’re getting a premium product at a bulk-buying price. It’s this combination of ethical sourcing, unmatched quality and exclusivity that makes this a standout deal for the fall season.”
Warm Clothes and Accessories
You can purchase warm fall clothes and certain accessories from Costco. Zisi suggested getting high-quality heated wool socks in particular, as they’re warm, moisture-wicking, odor-resistant and long-lasting.
Holiday Décor Items
Whether you’re shopping online or in person, Costco also has some top-notch deals on fall and holiday-themed decorations and accessories. This includes bulk plates and napkins, like the 200-count Day of the Dead-themed Artstyle Paper Plate and Napkin Bundle for $28.99.
“Costco unveils a range of festive ornaments, wreaths and nativity sets that are not only exclusive to their store but are of impeccable quality. Investing in these means you have decorations that last for years,” said Kimberly Wall, co-founder of BibleKeeper.
Howard added, “Costco starts rolling out its holiday décor well in advance, and the fall season is no exception. From Halloween decorations to Thanksgiving table settings, they offer quality products at competitive prices. These deals are great because you can decorate your home for the season without breaking the bank.”

Around this time of the year, Costco also starts putting out bulk gift-wrapping supplies and accessories.
“Their exclusive designs of wrapping paper, ribbons and tags come in generous quantities,” said Wall. “This ensures you won’t run out midway through your wrapping session.”
Furniture
Last but not least, check out Costco’s fall deals on furniture. If you’re shopping online, you can filter your results into different categories like “Kitchen and Dining Room Furniture,” “Bedroom Furniture” or “Living Room Furniture.”
