Costco’s twisted churro is returning to U.S. food courts for a reported $1.49 each, and October’s warehouse finds include quick breakfasts, freezer shortcuts and Halloween sweets. The churro is a limited-time return with no announced end date; food-court and warehouse availability varies by location, and some of the grocery items below are regional.

The $1.49 twisted churro is back at Costco food courts

Costco announced the return of its twisted churro on Instagram on September 18, 2026, according to Quartz’s report. It describes warm cinnamon-sugar churros priced at $1.49 each at U.S. food courts. The return is limited-time, but Costco did not announce an end date. Rollout timing differs by warehouse, so the item may not be available at every location at once. MySA also reported the September 18 follow-up post and price.

This is the twisted churro; its return should not be taken to mean that the older straight version is back. Check with your local food court for availability rather than relying on a specific start or finish date.

Cozy breakfasts and fall drinks

These reported October picks range from a quick microwave breakfast to concentrates for making seasonal drinks. Prices and availability are snapshots reported by Parade on October 3, 2026, not guaranteed prices at your warehouse.

The cinnamon rolls are the most clearly positioned for a fast breakfast; the concentrates are drink options, while the stuffed bagel minis are a regional find. The reported microwave time and nutrition figure are product details from the roundup, not independently verified specifications.

Easy dinners and freezer shortcuts

For a low-effort meal, a freezer item may be more useful than a pantry mix; the options here differ in both preparation and how limited their reported distribution is.

Find Reported details Availability reported
Synear Albóndigas Soup Dumplings Launched September 22, 2026, according to Parade. Select Los Angeles-area warehouses.
Bibigo Korean BBQ-Style Pizza Two pizzas for $11.99, as reported by Parade. Select warehouses; no states or region specified in the roundup.

The dumplings, pizza and nuggets are freezer choices; the cornbread mix is a pantry add-on rather than a complete dinner. Parade does not give a more precise region for the pizza or mix, so confirm locally before making a special trip.

Halloween treats and something for the table

Parade’s roundup also reports seasonal sweets suited to sharing or serving at home. These are warehouse finds, not a promise that every Costco carries them.

Find Reported details Availability reported
Ghirardelli Jack O’Lanterns chocolates 15.2 ounces for $15.49, as reported by Parade. Select warehouses; no region specified.
Wild West Almond & Sea Salt Bear Claws 10.8 ounces for $12.99, as reported by Parade. Select warehouses; no region specified.
Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Bar Cake 40 ounces for $16.99, as reported by Parade. Select warehouses; no region specified.

A separate Tasting Table October roundup published September 30, 2026 highlights other seasonal grocery ideas, including pumpkin pie, beef chili, Granny Smith apples, cherry berry sourdough, Halloween candy, Noosa fall yogurt and cinnamon bites. It says prices are as of publication and may vary by location; it does not establish that every item is available at every warehouse.

How to use these October finds when planning a Costco trip

  • Choose by meal: Sunshine Buns or bagel minis for breakfast, freezer options for a shortcut dinner, and the chocolates, bear claws or pumpkin cake for seasonal treats.
  • Check regional items first: the dumplings are reported in the Los Angeles area, the bagel minis in four named states, and the nuggets are concentrated in California.
  • Treat listed prices as reported snapshots: Parade and Tasting Table both caution that prices or availability vary by location. Verify the shelf price and stock with your local warehouse.
  • Separate food-court availability from warehouse stock: the churro has its own food-court rollout, which may not match when grocery products appear in a warehouse.
