We’d say holiday grocery shopping is a competitive sport, but it’s fairly strategic when you’re a Costco member. Savvy shoppers tend to buy groceries early to ensure fully stocked freezers and pantries all while snagging the best deals to save the most money.

From two different turkey brands (just in case one’s already sold out) to bulk beverages, GOBankingRates hand-picked seven Thanksgiving items to shop now before they sell out. 

Check out our recommendations below, and don’t forget to review the warehouse club’s best fall items under $20.

Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider (4-Count)

• Price: $13.61

Depending on the number of guests, you may need just a four-count of Martinelli’s sparkling apple cider or a few more packs. Per bottle, Costco shoppers pay the low price of $3.40.

Butterball Boneless Turkey Breast Roast 

• Price: $19.19 for 4.75 lbs. (estimated)

Make a beeline for the Butterball boneless turkey breast roast before it’s gone! According to the Costco website, the price per pound is $4.04, with each turkey roast weighing in at 4.75 pounds. 

Each turkey roast comes with a gravy packet and instructions for freezer to oven cooking.

Kirkland Signature Oven Browned Turkey Breast

• Price: $21.22 for 3.9 lbs. (estimated)

You do have alternatives if the Butterball turkey roast is sold out. 

Kirkland Signature’s oven browned turkey breast is $5.44 per pound, with the bird weighing at about 3.9 pounds. Remember: The final price is said to vary depending on the total weight of the turkey.

Kirkland Signature Spiral Sliced Ham

• Price: $22.67 for 8.01 lbs. (estimated)

What if you’re not a turkey household? Shop the spiral sliced ham available at Costco instead. This fully cooked, pre-sliced ham comes with a glaze packet and is reasonably priced. Members pay $2.83 per pound, with the above estimate reflective of eight pounds.

Organic Sweet Potatoes

• Price: $6.80 for 5 lbs.

These competitively priced organic sweet potatoes are worth buying if your Thanksgiving recipes feature sweet potatoes as the main ingredient. Costco members pay $6.80 for five pounds’ worth of potatoes, or eight cents per ounce.

King’s Hawaiian, Hawaiian Sweet Rolls

• Price: $7.71

You’re unlikely to run out of Hawaiian sweet rolls during your Thanksgiving feast. This King’s Hawaiian bulk buy comes with 32 freshly baked rolls, coming out to spending 24 cents per roll.

Kirkland Signature Pumpkin Pie

• Price: $6.80

Wrap up a great meal with a slice of delicious Kirkland Signature pumpkin pie. 

At less than $7 for each 58-ounce pie size, these pies are especially appealing if you’ve been cooking all day and don’t necessarily want to turn the oven on to bake dessert.
