7 Healthy Costco Deals to Look for This October

Let's get shopping!

Reviewed by Dietitian Jessica Ball, M.S., RD

A new month—especially as we enter a new season—always means some fun new sales are coming our way. This October, we know we'll be swinging by Whole Foods for irresistible wine sales and Walmart for sweet potato-based macaroni and cheese. But we'd be remiss if we left Costco out of the October sale conversation. The bulk retailer has a packed sales ad this month that includes everything from organic kombucha to big packs of sparkling water. We rounded up seven of the most exciting healthy finds we can't wait to hunt down, and we have a feeling they'll win you over, too.

The deals in Costco's newest slate of buys are available from September 27 to October 22, so be sure to schedule a Costco trip soon. You'll want to scoop up these seven fun finds while the lower price lasts.

1. Kirkland Farm-Raised Atlantic Salmon

You may have heard the advice to eat more fish, and this is in large part due to the heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids many types of fish like salmon contain. The price on this salmon may differ from location to location, but all customers can count on $5 off each 3-pound bag.

2. Keurig Pods

If your household (or office) is full of regular coffee drinkers, buying java in bulk could be a great option. It works out great if you use a Keurig coffee maker, since each serving of coffee is individually sealed for freshness. Right now, you can snag a number of K-Cup coffee blends for $38.99 per 100-pack—that means you're spending just 39 cents per cup of joe. The available coffees differ by location, so scope out your local store to see which pods are up for grabs.

3. KIND Nut Bars

Whether you toss them in a backpack before heading out on a hike or keep some in a desk drawer for a midday pick-me-up, granola bars are a convenience food you'll always want to have around. These variety packs are a great option for keeping your stash stocked up, especially because these nutty options will have a little extra protein and fiber to help you feel full. Grab a 20-count variety pack on your next grocery run and get $6 off while the deal lasts.

4. Food Should Taste Good Organic Multigrain Tortilla Chips

We're well into the swing of tailgating season these days, and adding these to your spread is a great way to shake things cup. Folks who already love crackers like Nut Thins will love these chips, which include flax, sunflower and sesame seeds for a nutty twist on your usual salsa dipper. The chips also include brown rice flour and quinoa, plus the standard ground corn, making these snacks a great way to add some whole grains to your busy game day. Get $3 off a bag when you swing by Costco this month.

5. Good Foods Guacamole

It's no secret that guacamole is both tasty *and* good for you—that's part of the reason why we have so many delicious recipes for this classic dip. But if you just can't get your hands on some perfect avocados or you're short on time, store-bought guacamole is a solid backup plan. Folks who love adding a side of guac to work or school lunches will love Good Foods Organic Chunky Guacamole, which comes in sets of three 10-ounce cups and is perfect for an on-the-go snack. Grab a pack and get $4 off your purchase.

6. Milton's Cauliflower Crust Pizza

For folks trying to dial back their carb consumption or add some more veggies to their day, a veggie-crusted pizza is a great thing to keep in the freezer. This version from Milton's has a thin, crispy cauliflower crust topped with sauce cheese, and roasted vegetables. If you snag a box at Costco, it will include two pizzas, so you can feed a crowd on short notice or have a stash in the freezer at the end of a long day. Costco shoppers can save $3.40 on these pizzas during October, so make room in your cart.

7. Naked Juice Pack

Costco shoppers can count on $5 off each variety 12-pack of these petite 10-ounce smoothie-like juice blends. Every pack includes Naked's Blue Machine, strawberry-banana, mango and mixed berry juices, so you can stock your fridge with these fun, fruity treats. Like most juices, these drinks can be a little high in sugar—the flavors range from 29 to 36 grams of sugar per serving—but all sugars come from the fruit and veggies included in each blend, not from sources of added sugar. With lots of berries and citrus fruit in most of the blends, these juices may even offer a little anti-inflammatory spin.
