11 Rare Costco Finds

Costco has hunting and fishing equipment available for shoppers. From knives to bow binds, they’re affordable and high quality. But did you know that you can sometimes find ghillie suits online at Costco.com? A few hunting enthusiasts have documented these findings over the past few years, showing a three-piece ghillie suit for only $50. 

Truffles are known for their distinct smell and flavor, often described as earthy and pungent, as well as high in value. Interestingly enough, Costco shoppers can purchase fresh truffles. A $100 value from four ounces of fresh summer truffles is rare to come across, which makes this one of the rare Costco finds you should keep an eye out for.

Most of us are pulled in by Costco groceries, so it makes sense that instruments are not often talked about at the wholesaler. But interestingly enough, Costco does sell musical instruments. They sell drum kits, keyboards, guitars, and even karaoke machines. Some stores even carry saxophones, which can be quite expensive — keep your eyes peeled when shopping. 

Costco’s online business section is full of large appliances for restaurant kitchens and bundles of paper and pens to stock offices. But what you might not know is that they also sell vending machines. The price vary depending on location, but they carry snack vending machines all the way up to larger, specialty versions.

Costco’s alcohol selection has a lot of hidden gems, and recently shoppers have spotted a rare bourbon at select stores. Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon is considered an excellent whiskey, but it’s scarce to the public (even outside of Costco). The bourbon is aged three to four times longer than others, plus it’s regulated so someone can only purchase one every three months. Finding a bottle at Costco is shocking in this case. 

Another one of the many rare Costco finds is something that most haven’t stumbled upon. Costco has several culinary gadgets that make cooking and baking easier. This Weston Fruit and Wine Press holds up to 16-quarts and presses grapes with ease.Should you want to take up wine-making, this is a surprising find that might just save the day.

Costco shoppers know that the big items are found online. But did you know you could purchase barns and sheds? They have small sheds to store outdoor gear like gardening supplies or lawnmowers, but they also carry larger-scale barns. For example, they carry 12-foot by 24-foot barns perfect for a workshop or garage. Through Costco Next they even have Gorilla Sheds in various sizes.

In 2019, Costco offered an incredibly unique find for shoppers. Mario Andretti, one of the most famous names in auto racing, teamed up with Car Pool Tables to create a memorable piece. The replica 1969 pace car-shaped pool table, signed by Andretti, was for sale, and was one of the rarest Costco finds that you could bring home for $20,000. 

Chicken coops might be the last thing you can imagine grabbing at Costco, but they have them available online. For those looking to raise their own chickens, this is a comprehensive yet easy option. The Farmhouse chicken coop can hold up to 15 chickens — plus, it comes with a feeder and waterer.

Usually offered as a prize for lotteries, Pappy Van Winkle is another rare alcohol find at Costco. It’s highly-coveted by collectors and bourbon enthusiasts. A Costco shopper in Washington purchased one of three total bottles in his area for only $81. Hunting for Pappy is exciting for shoppers as the Distillery only releases bottles once a year (around October), making it a rare find. 

Lastly, we turn to the wine section at Costco. Screaming Eagle’s Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon was sold at a California warehouse for a high price tag of $3,699.99. The wine is considered one of the rarest in its line and is also considered the third most expensive wine in America according to Wine Searcher.
