The 5 Best Costco Buys for the Big Game

If you are hosting a meeting, these can be expensive.

If you’re a football fan, there are some big sporting events coming up on February 12 that you might want to check out. And even if you’re not really into the game, you might look forward to the creative advertisements that are constantly interspersed between games.

Meanwhile, it may be your turn to host friends for the big game. Or maybe you’re planning a smaller family party at home. Either way, you can host a fun gathering without breaking the bank if you stock up on these great Costco finds.

1. Rojo’s Street Corn Dip

If you’re gathering to watch the big game, you’ll probably want to provide your fair share of chips and dips. And while you can go the traditional salsa route, this corn dip can be a fun and refreshing change from your usual lineup. You can pick up a two pound container at Costco so you have something to go.

2. Bistro Pretzel Bites Party Platter

Why stick to just chips and dip when you can kick things up a notch with soft pretzels and dip? This dish comes in at over two pounds and includes pretzel bites and a variety of toppings, including mustard and cheese sauce. Your guests may be so full, you don’t even need to order pizza.

3. Tuscan Kitchen Supreme Pizza

Who’s kidding? It wouldn’t be a real party without pizza. And if you can order a pizza from a local restaurant, your delivery may be delayed due to the high demand that night. Instead, you can get almost three pounds of pizza to heat up in your oven when the time comes with this Costco find. Not only will you have something filling to offer your guests, but you’ll probably rack up a lower credit card bill than a pizza delivery.

4. Tostito Scoops

When you’re partying, regular chips won’t cut it. You’ll need a special curved blade to capture all those delicious puddles you’re releasing. You can buy a 1.38-pound bag of Tostitos Scoops at Costco — or two, if you have more people. This should be enough to get you through many hours of TV viewing.

5. Daisy Pure & Natural Sour Cream

You can buy a variety of dips for game day parties. Or, you can get creative and make your own. Either way, sour cream makes a great base, and if you don’t want to spend a fortune, Costco has a three-pound tub of Daisy Pure & Natural at a competitive price. (Pro tip: Buy onion soup mix, mix it with sour cream, and you’re good to go.)

If you’re a football fan, you’re probably counting down the days until February 12th. These Costco products can take your shopping day to the next level.

And remember, while some of these items may be seasonal, others, like Tostitos Scoops and Daisy sour cream, are usually available at Costco year-round. So if you want to throw a recurring party (say to celebrate the start of the baseball season), you can easily find the right food at Costco.
