August is one of the best months of the year to visit Costco, with a huge range of new seasonal foods and beverages hitting shelves throughout stores. Warehouses have a treasure trove of exciting products for summer parties, back to school shopping, and more. Some locations even offer expanded home and garden products for the summer, such as four-packs of essential herbs so you can start your own little kitchen garden. Others have restocked must-have Costco items, such as kid-friendly school lunch foods and snacks, cooking and bakeware items, backyard barbecue tools, and frozen treats that are perfect for end-of-summer gatherings.

Before you shop, be sure to check Costco's August 2026 Savings Book to find money-saving deals on household staples and pantry goods. These members-only deals make summer the best time of year to stock up on necessities, refill your kitchen cupboards, and plan for the holidays.
