Being smart with money in retirement doesn’t mean skipping every indulgence. It means knowing which ones are actually worth it.

Costco’s spring and summer lineup has a handful of items right now that feel genuinely special without doing any real damage to your budget. Here are four worth adding to your cart this season.

Sahale Snacks Glazed Cashew Mix in Pomegranate Vanilla

• Price: $17.05

Cashews glazed with pomegranate and vanilla sound like something you’d pay $14 for at an airport. Costco carries a 15-count box of individually wrapped Sahale Snacks glazed cashew mix in pomegranate vanilla, which makes them the perfect grab n’ go snack for the summer season.

Kirkland Signature Organic French Roast K-Cup Pods

• Price: $44.99

Good coffee at home is one of the most cost-effective luxuries a retiree can maintain. The Kirkland Signature coffee organic french roast K-cup pod pack comes with 120 individual pods and is both organic and Fair Trade Certified. At Costco’s per-pod price, it costs a fraction of what a daily coffee shop habit runs and delivers a genuinely rich dark roast every morning.

JonnyPops Organic Rainbow Fruit Stacks

• Price: $10.20

These are not your average freezer pops at Costco. JonnyPops organic rainbow fruit stacks come in an 18-count pack with six fruity flavors including cherry, orange, lemon, lime, blue raspberry and grape, layered into a nostalgic frozen treat without artificial flavors, priced at around $12.50. For retirees who want something cold and sweet on a hot afternoon without the sugar overload of most frozen desserts, these majorly hit the mark.

Waterloo Sparkling Water in Summer Flavors

• Price: $12.39

Facts are facts: staying hydrated in summer is easier when what you’re drinking actually tastes good. And Waterloo sparkling water from Costco is the creme de la creme — especially the addictive Blackberry Lemonade flavor. They’re zero sugar, zero artificial ingredients and you’ll be sipping them all season long. 

Editor’s note: Pricing and availability may vary depending on location.
