Costco Natural & Organic Price List Update
Updated March 2023
I have researched at our local Costco and listed over 170 natural and/or organic grocery items. Personally, I am excited to have this as a resource to access on my phone when I am shopping at different stores and wishing I could do some quick price comparing.
January 2013 when I first started putting this list together, I had the opportunity to conduct a phone interview with a Costco employee of 29 years. She informed me of a few interesting facts about Costco, some of which I didn’t know.
First, Costco doesn’t have sales. Any deals they offer is because they have worked and gone to bat for its members with the vendors. The vendors are the ones who offer the discounts, and Costco passes those discounts along to its members.
Secondly, Costco has members. Because Costco has a HUGE member base, with that buying power they are able to negotiate some outstanding deals.
Thirdly, Costco is not a store, but a warehouse club, so you get warehouse prices.
Here are some other facts:
- Costco will FULLY refund your membership should you be dissatisfied for whatever reason.
- Costco has an easy return policy. There is a 90 days to return policy for select electronic products, so go here to read more about their return policy. I personally have returned many items over the years (a least once a year) from a broken Shark (electronic mop) to bad produce and have had no problems.
- Costco has less employee turnover than other companies in their industry, as they pay their employees the best wages.
- Costco has a Concierge Service that assists with set up, warranty issues and gives technical support for most electronics. Their phone number is 1-866-861-0450, available 5am-10pm (PST) 7-days a week. I had to use them once because we had a faulty video camera and it was beyond the 90 days to return the product to Costco. A lady at the return desk directed me to the Concierge Service, and they were able to help me get a brand new video camera. This is a great resource!
I have listed below some selected natural and organic grocery prices. For whatever reason Costco doesn’t always give a cost breakdown that is easily compared to other stores, so where I thought it would be valuable I have included ounce, pound, and liter cost breakdowns. I broke up the grocery items into four separate categories:
- Pantry Items, which includes baking items, canned goods, and snacks
- Fresh Fruits and Veggies
- Frozen, which are fruits and veggies, and
- Refrigerated Perishables, which includes dairy, eggs, and meat items.
I included a column that says “Price/Quantity You Receive”. That is the price Costco sells the item for with the quantities you get. To clarify, let’s look at a few products like baking soda and organic black beans. If Costco sells a 13.5 pound bag of baking soda for $6.49, it is indicated: $6.49/13.5 lbs. If Costco sells eight cans of black beans that are 15 ounces each packaged together for $6.79, it looks like this in the spreadsheet: $6.79/ 8-15 oz. So for $6.79 you will get eight cans of black beans, and each of those cans are 15 ounces. I hope that makes things crystal clear.
Also, if a product is often there, but not when I check, I indicate the price isn’t current by writing “N/A Date.”
Unfortunately these prices are subject to change without notice, so these deals were valid March 2023, at the Marysville, Washington Costco and it will, at least, give you an idea of prices and what products may be in your area.
Remember EVERY time we go to the store we cast our votes. Stores will stock the shelves with items WE buy. The more we make better choices, the more we can make a positive change. I hope this list helps you! You are welcome to “pin it “and share it on Facebook, if you like.

Thank you, thank you! Thanks for the updates as well.
You are welcome! Blessings…
Wow! Thanks for this! So helpful for deciding whether to order something from Azure Standard or pick it up next Costco trip (an hour away). I am very grateful to have found this.
You’re so welcome! I get it about comparing prices.
Great Job. I’m a huge Costco fan as well and I love the work that you put in! The more resources about pricing the better especially in these times with massive inflation.
Hello! I’m still coming back and looking at this resource a couple years later, but I imagine with inflation it’s been a bit much to try to keep up! Was does updating this post look like for you; walking through Costco slowly with a printed out copy of this post on a clipboard? Or do you find the info online somewhere?
The organic almond butter at my local Costco was $12.79, so maybe the price changed recently?
Yes, it may have changed recently!
No, I think it’s because she doesn’t have the Kirkland organic almond butter listed, only the non-organic. Our Costco carries both. Most likely the regular almond butter is the $7.99 listed and the organic is $12.79 ??
Thank you so much for this very helpful list. I’m always comparing prices!
Awesome! So glad you find the list useful!
Carrot price is higher at Costco. I stopped buying it there. Even at Sprouts you can get 5lb cheaper than the bulk 10lbs at Costco. Couple of weeks ago I made a mistake and bought 10lbs at Costco for $8.99 . I was in a hurry! Well I could have bought 5lbs for $2.99 at Sam’s. What a rip off at Costco. Lately they have raised prices for everything. I am going to stop going there as much since Sprouts and even Whole Foods have better prices on some of the organic items we buy. Thanks for supply and demand and bunches of organic stores opening near our Costco and my home.
Baby carrots just got more expensive! Today Costco is selling a perforated bag – 2 32-ounce bags for a total of 4 pounds – for $5.99. That’s 50 cents more expensive than before, for 20% fewer carrots. And it’s the same brand as before. What a rip-off.
I am wondering if these price increases are resulting partially from minimum wage going up DRAMATICALLY in many parts of the country…
Does n/a in the list mean it is no longer available as of Summer 2018? Thanks for doing this!
Hi Theresa. It means it wasn’t there Summer 2018, but I’m hoping it will be back. You are welcome!
Good article. I bought whole organic chicken yesterday and cooked (Atlanta ). Amazingly, there were no fat attached to the meat. Neither did much release from chicken during cooking. Do you know why they are removing chicken fat. Additionally I noticed in previous chichen that the color of the fat was close to white instead of yellow. I read that organic chicken should have yellow fat. Is Costco’so organic chicken really organic?
Hi Ashma, I actually don’t know. But I do know that they read their comments, so write or call them!
Thank you so much for the list wonderful
You’re welcome, Donna!
Jan 2018 Raisins now cost more at Costco: old Sun-Maid 0 289685/41143029060 – 32 oz x 2 $8.49 new 2018 Jan California Gourmet 1183998/085644003181 – 32 oz x 2 $9.99
FYI, Today in Atlanta Costco was $6.99 for ORGANIC carrots 10 lb bag. Sam’s had 5lbs organic carrots for $3,28.
Thanks for the information. Something everyone should be aware of when returning for store credit…. Costco itemizes the contents of a sold product. I bought a Magic Bullet blender. The motor burned out after three years. I found most of the plastic accessories and even the recipe book. The service clerk looked at his computer and counted the pieces. I was shocked. He said sorry, you are missing six pieces of a 16 piece set. He showed me the computer screen showing exactly that. These were small little cups and cover rings. Totally inconsequential. But the clerk refused to accept. I should have stood my ground and got a manager. I still have it and will likely go to another Costco or go back to my local Costco. Turnover is always high so there will be someone new.
Here I am trying to settle an argument with my wife about strawberries and I bump into the choir teacher from my old high school 17 years ago. Small world….oh and I think I lost the argument.
HA! Hey Jeff! Yep. You found me. Wishing you the best…
Hello Sonja. Thanks for taking the time to wrote such a detailed blog post. I used to have a Costco membership in a previous life. Your blog post encouraged me to get one again. I buy several gallons of organic whole milk every week. The prices that you listed for organic whole milk alone would have made a membership worthwhile. I went to the store (Sugar Land, TX) today but I was glad to have checked prices before getting the membership. Organic whole milk was $10.49 for three half-gallon jugs. That makes it $6.99 per gallon – significantly more that what you have listed here. I am not sure why the prices are so much more here in Texas than in Washington where you are located. Sad to say I returned home without a membership.
I just checked your list again and realized that your list stated the price for whole milk, not organic whole milk.
I’m glad you saw that it was the whole milk and not organic…I hope it becomes worthwhile soon!
Hi, I noticed this weekend that the Coleman brand of organic chicken and parts are being replaced by Kirkland brand organic chicken and parts. (No more Coleman organic chicken breasts and thighs, some drumsticks and wings and whole chickens left). The Kirkland brand organic now has tenderloins and boneless, skinless leg and thigh combined, in addition to whole chickens and boneless skinless breasts. The prices were lower as well. ($1.99 for whole chickens). I have a feeling the Kirkland brand will permanently replace the Coleman brand. I wonder if there is a difference in quality and taste?
Hi Cee,
It will be interesting to see if we will see Coleman brand again. It is nice the prices are lower for the KS brand! I don’t know about the quality and taste yet. I will have to try them. Thanks for the heads up!!
I asked the butcher at Costco today when I was looking for the Coleman brand chicken. He told me that it is the same Coleman chicken packaged under the Costco label. He actually said that Costco bought Coleman. I got online to research it and haven’t been able to find anything yet.
That’s very interesting. I haven’t heard that, but I’m guessing they would have the buying power to do that.
Well, this is incredibly helpful! Thank you!
I’m grateful to hear that. Thank you for sharing!
Is the Kirkland Signature Almond Butter non-GMO?
I just looked at the label, and it says nothing about being non-GMO, so I’m guessing there maybe some.
I fully appreciate our Woodinville (WA) Costco, its staff, and management. They are terrific, and have great customer service.
I have also appreciated their addition of so many fine foods, and their excellent selection of fresh produce.
What would be really nice is to have a better selection of vegan options (in addition to the fresh foods) – they have occasionally cycled through a few vegan products, but they often don’t stay. Something like GimmeLean products or Daiya dairy substitute products.
They have a ton of chicken options, but they have dropped some vegan items like vegan pot-stickers, vegan lasagne, etc. It woud be great to get a few more of those products in stock, even if only in a small section of the store.
Though I’m not vegan, I have a vegan son and a vegetarian son, and it would be nice if they had a few more vegan items to make it easier to complete “one-stop shopping” for my family.
Fingers crossed that they will eventually catch on to this.
Hi Richard. I do wish Costco would be more consistent with products. I miss their organic Tia fresh tortillas and organic coconut sugar, here one month and gone the next. My daughter and I mostly eat dairy-free, so I understand! Thanks for sharing!
Great list! After reading I decided to join the Costco that just opened up near me in NC. They don’t carry nearly as many organic items here in the fresh food and meat area, I hope that changes as our only options are to go to higher end grocery stores. Still a great place to buy Kerrygold butter and nuts, ours has wild caught frozen shrimp and fish too.
Hi Pam. Yay for Kerrygold butter and wild caught frozen shrimp!! I’m sure they’ll keep adding more organics, as they have done that at our Costco!
I would rather to go to Safe way or Whole food because Costco is far from my home and it is a waste of time for me .
For some who live far away, it may not be worth it. Maybe a Costco will come closer to you some day!
Many thanks for taking the time to compile this list. It wouldn’t have been easy! I hope I can find as much organic as you have listed here at my local Costco.
You are welcome. I hope you find LOTS of organics!
Day before Thanksgiving and DO NOT want to go to Costco, but the cost of frozen blueberries at our local Sprout’s Farmer’s Market is $15 for 3 lbs. Thanks to your website I see that it’s worth fighting the crowds to get Kirkland blueberries for $8.99 for 5 lbs.
Thank you so much!!!
Hi BJ. You are welcome, and Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I saw how Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt have asked Costco to switch to cage-free eggs. And I saw this video (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeabWClSZfI) about how Costco lets its egg suppliers lock chickens in cages. It’s pretty disgusting! The video even shows, at a Costco supplier, birds forced to share cages with the mummified corpses of their dead cage mates. And then Costco defended the practice, saying that supplier was “behaving appropriately.” I’ll never shop at Costco again.
Oh dear, Sabrina. Thank you for sharing. Our food is not something to mess with. It seems like more and more companies are getting on board and changes are being made to the food supply to phase out some of those wicked feed conditions (including McDonald if you can believe it!). Lord willing all chickens will be roaming freely as God intended soon. Thanks for sharing!
thank you for this list, i have been going back and forth about getting a membership. It’s just my husband and myself plus two dogs so we dont normally need to buy in bulk, except we only use organic meat, fruits and veggies when cooking and are always looking for cheap organic frozen fruit for smoothies. I think it might be worth getting a membership.
Hi Annie. You are welcome! Even when it was only my husband and I, we had a membership. Now there is even more reasons to have a membership even if it’s just for 2. Blessings!
The list needs to be updated 🙁
Many of these items are not in any Costco any longer.
Hi Moirraine.
I update the list every 6 months, and as of mid-July at our Costco, almost ALL of these items are still there. Costco does vary their products region by region and even city by city (there have been products at the Everett, WA store that haven’t been at my Marysville store about 16 miles away). I am sorry to hear that many of these items aren’t at your Costco. This is just to give ideas of the prices, so I hope you found some benefit. Blessings!
Hi, does Costco carry organic beer or wine?
Hi Terry. I don’t see any online, and I haven’t looked in the store. I will check it out next time I am there.
Thanks for this comprehensive list. I live in West Hills, CA and wish our local Costco carried the flours and hemp seeds your does. I don’t know about the organic beans and dried apricots either. I haven’t seen them, but haven’t specifically looked either.
My husband and I are new to eating only from plant based foods, and so beans, hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flours that are Non GMO and without high gluten content are paramount now. We converted for health and wellness, and the realization that commercial animal farming allowed for inhumane treatment of even cage free and free range animals was an after thought, but no less profound.
Our primary motivation was our health, in our mid fifties, and an inspiration from a book we read by an Ultraman athlete who wrote about his own transformation on the eve of his entering middle age.
I’m going to check out the Northridge Costco and see how they compare on carrying the foods we eat now, and I hope they’re better than our local Costco in Canoga Park. Our Costco has a few items, such as the baking soda, and organic chia seeds, the avocado oil, the organic coconut oil, and the large bags of almond, walnut, and pine nut bags.
We get our huge bags of mixed Kale and power greens, and a huge bag of spinach, and bulk package of portabella mushrooms, and strawberries, for our smoothies,
Hi Martha. I love getting our greens at Costco. The more we buy those organic items, the more they’ll expand their organic offerings. Blessings on your road to whole foods and good health! Thanks so much for sharing!
That was really nice of you to put that list together to share with everyone. Thank you so very much!
I hadn’t been to Costco in years and my neighbor kept telling me that they now had a lot of natural and also organic foods but I thought she was exaggerating until I finally went with her a couple of weeks ago. We went to one in Laguna Niguel in Orange County CA. I was very surprised–they really did have lots of natural and organic foods!
I got a very large tub of organic baby spring mix lettuce, organic eggs, organic carrots, frozen organic broccoli, organic ground beef, organic pasta, organic Bertolli spaghetti sauce, organic tortilla chips, organic salsa, organic guacamole, organic Acai berry juice and also something called Pita Pals brand organic Balela. We had never heard of balela before but my neighbor and I both thought it looked good so we each got a tub. The balela was so spicy and delicious that even though the tubs were pretty large my neighbor and I both ate it all in only two days!
Apparently balela is very popular at Trader Joes but the one at Costco is not only a lot less expensive but is also organic.
Now I can’t wait to go back to Costco again to look more carefully for all the other natural and organic things that they carry now. Since I only eat natural and organic years ago it wasn’t worth it to me to buy a Costco membership but it sure is now! The savings there were so tremendous that I think that the savings from just a couple of Costco shopping trips would pay for a years membership.
I wonder if all the Costco’s carry as much organic food as the one I went to?
Hi Barbara. Thanks so much for sharing all that you found there!! Unfortunately not all Costcos carry the same products. We have most of those items but I don’t think we have all of those items at our Washington State store. Yours seems to carry a lot of organics. Awesome!! The more organics we buy, the more they will sell, though! Thank you again, for being willing to share as many others benefit from this!
Awesome price list! Makes it easy now to compare prices before buying something from Amazon that is cheaper from Costco.
Thanks Ugo! I hope this helps you!
Thank you for this extensive list – it’s so nice to have all the prices in one place rather than running to the store and staring at chicken wondering if that price is lower or not. Thank you1
Hi Lauren. You are welcome. I understand. I access it too to compare prices!
Thank you for this list! I never realized COSTCO had so many natural and organic products. I was considering a COSTCO membership but I think I’m sold now!
Hi Jameal. You are welcome! AND they keep adding more organics. It’s very exciting!!
Same for me – thank you for taking the time to compile, type and share this info. Costco is a drive away for me and we were considering whether or not we would check it out. Thank you for making us more informed!
Hi Tracy. It’s good to weigh the costs. Thank you for sharing, and you are welcome!
Can you guys send me the addresses of Costco in Orange county, which one carry the most organic products?
Hi Levon. I actually have no idea about the organic products in Orange County. You can do an Internet search for Costco and call them. Thanks for visiting!
Thank you SO much for this list!! Im actually considering getting a membership with them simply for the organic chicken and blueberries. I do a lot of shopping at Whole Foods, and a membership at Costco would pay for itself in less than 2 months.
Hi Beau. You are welcome! I bet you’d love having a Costco membership. Thanks for visiting, and sharing!
I love Costco and buy everything there including my furniture, movie tickets, food, tv, presents, iTunes gift cards, toilet paper, wigwam wool socks, even my capresso coffee bean grinder which is a must for coffee lovers. I looked everywhere for quality smaller size bedroom furniture but only Costco had the size I needed for my NYC apartment. The bed is queen size but you try and find an 83 inch long queen size. Tall dresser is 36 x 17. Night stands 25 x17 and long dresser 59 x 17 which is perfect for my 11 x 15 bedroom. I have a Pulaski glass curio cabinet from Costco filled with treasures, a gentlemans cabinet for extra storage and a Pulaski Newport chaise lounge couch purchased at Costco for $600 and selling elsewhere for 1800 the cheapest. Oh you will save and save plus if you get the upgraded membership it will pay for itself. Go Costco!
Hi Joy. Thanks for sharing all of your insight. They have such great deals on many items. Gotta love Costco!
Hi Sonia, When will you be getting the Organic Wild Blueberries back? I miss them a lot!! Thank you!
I actually have no idea, and I don’t have any direct influence. But I do know that they read their comments. So make sure that you write them.
We have been going to Costco for years and you really do save $$. You can also order some things online if you don’t live close. Many items are Free Shipping!
Hi Mary. Thanks for the heads up about the free shipping on many items. That’s great to know. I’ve never thought about it if you don’t live close.
