It’s a fact universally acknowledged by Team Delish that half of the reason we go to parties is for the food. Is that also you? And in these inflationary times we’re always on the lookout for the best deals so we can keep the snack table full all night long. Enter: Our trusty Costco memberships to save the day. Sure, we love Costco for stocking up on our mainstays (and the free samples, pizza, and soft serve), but it’s also a party-planner’s DREAM.
The bulk-buying paradise truly has a little something for everyone: pre-made dips, tons of bite-sized apps, and plenty of affordable booze options so you can play bartender on a budget, too. And don’t get us started on their giant bottles of sangria, cheese flights, and pre-made jell-o shots…) We’d plan a party just to have these picks, TBH.
We’ve eaten our way through the iconic warehouse’s many (many!) aisles, and these 13 party-approved snack and drink picks are the one’s we’ll absolutely be getting second rounds of at our next party. Best of all? You’ll likely have some leftovers, which will make you one very lucky party host.
At Costco, you can find everything you need for a great party. Start with some pre-made dips, like hummus, salsa, and guacamole.

If you’re looking for something sweet, Costco has you covered. From gourmet chocolates and cookies to pre-made cakes and cupcakes, you’ll find something for everyone.

If you’re buying multiple items, you’ll save more money by buying in bulk. Finally, don’t forget to check out the clearance section. You can often find great deals on items that are nearing their expiration date.
