10 Costco Thanksgiving Supplies You Need Before the Holiday

If you don’t love to cook, you can leave it up to Costco this year. Grab their complete meal kit for only $270, serving between 8 to 10 people. This delicious and mouth-watering platter is the perfect option if you’d rather spend more time visiting than in the kitchen. The fully prepared meal includes a variety of sides such as two pounds of stuffing and mashed potatoes with a five-pound turkey. You also get cranberry relish and two decadent pies like Costco’s fan-favorite pumpkin pie.

While often overlooked, rolls during Thanksgiving are one of the best sides. Don’t worry about kneading dough or baking, grab these Kirkland Signature rolls instead. With 30 buttery and soft rolls for only $7.49, you can feed the whole family and still have leftovers for the rest of the week. From soaking up gravy to piling on cranberry sauce, these make for some of the best Costco Thanksgiving supplies to have on hand.

There’s nothing like sipping on something while cooking a meal. And when it comes to Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect time to pop open some sparkling cider and celebrate being together. Costco makes it even easier with their 4-count of Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider for $14.99. It’s deliciously sweet to sip on throughout the holiday and is much more affordable compared to the competitive brands like Welch’s that price their single bottles at $3.98 (which would total out to almost $16 for four bottles).

Not only do you have to peel the potatoes, but you have to boil and mash them. Avoid all that and cut down on pans to clean by grabbing these pre-cooked mashed potatoes from Costco’s deli section. A container contains about five pounds of mashed potatoes that you can simply heat up in the microwave. On average, these potato platters cost about $10.45, which is much cheaper than brand names like Bob Evans at $4.98 for a 32-ounce container, for example. This would equal out to $12.45 for five pounds. As a result, you know Costco is the way to go for quality, convenience, and savings.

Appetizers are the perfect way to entertain before a sit-down Thanksgiving dinner. Costco makes it easy with a pre-made, ready-to-serve Vacaville Fruit and Nut Tray. The platter is only $44.99 and includes peaches, mango slices, dates, and apples with an assortment of delicious nuts like roasted and salted almonds, pistachios, and more. This is perfect for anyone expecting lots of family this year.

No matter the season, broth is an essential pantry staple. But for the holidays, it’s used up more than ever. Keep your pantry stocked throughout the colder weather with Costco’s 12-count chicken broth for only $10.99. Compared to Walmart’s 48-ounce chicken broth containers for $3.68, you’re saving a couple of bucks just by buying in bulk. The broth is a must-have for a variety of side dishes like stuffing, gravy, or even basting your turkey.

If you ask anyone what their least favorite part about the holidays is, it’s likely the clean-up. While it’s fun to host family and friends,  once everyone leaves, you’re left with a mess. One of the many Costco Thanksgiving supplies you’ll need on hand is Cascade’s dishwasher pods. Costco carries a giant container of 81-pods for only $28.99, a great deal to keep your home tidy and clean throughout the holiday season.

Want to be crafty this year to impress the in-laws? Or just prefer making your own cranberry sauce? Then grab this bag of fresh cranberries. A two-pound package is only $2.56, a great deal compared to a 14-ounce tin of cranberry sauce for almost $2. Thanks to two pounds of fresh berries, you can make several servings of cranberry sauce and have leftovers to freeze for future baking (cranberry bread anyone?). Fresh cranberries also make festive and delicious cocktails (or mocktails).

It can’t be a holiday dinner without picking up one or two of Costco’s pumpkin pies. If there’s nothing else you need from Costco, you should at least make a special trip just for these wonderful desserts. Not only do Costco members everywhere rave about the flavor, but also the quantity and affordability, as one pie weighs about 58 ounces and only costs $7.99.

While everything on this list is a staple for Thanksgiving dinner, the turkey is the main star. And what better way to make your life easier than to grab a pre-cooked turkey? All you have to do is heat it and serve. This turkey won’t be your traditional turkey as it is smoked, which could arguably provide more flavor than simply roasting in the oven. Each turkey is about $3.79 per pound, with an average of 13 pounds per turkey. All together, you can feed the whole family for a total of about $50 (per bird).
