Each month, Costco comes out with a coupon book that’s full of exciting deals, and this month’s Costco ad is no different. You really save more when you shop their sales ad, which is basically their monthly coupon book.

If you’re wondering about the best Costco deals of the month, I went to my local warehouse and compiled a list for you. These deals are only valid through May 5, so make sure to stop by before then if any of these finds caught your eye.

1. Nabisco Oreo Sandwich Cookies – $7.99

Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned Oreo? If you enjoy milk’s favorite cookie but can’t get through a pack before they turn stale and chewy, then you’re in luck.

This jumbo pack of Nabisco Oreo Sandwich Cookies from Costco comes with twelve “Stay Fresh” packs, so you don’t have to rush to finish the entire pack. At most grocery stores, I see regular packs of Oreos going for over $5, so getting a huge pack for $7.99 is a solid bargain.

2. Sensible Portions Sea Salt Garden Veggie Straws – $12.89

Do you see that lone pack of Veggie Straws there? That’s all that was left by the time I got to Costco – all the others had been cleared out already. I never fully understood the hype behind this snack, but it’s undeniable that a lot of people lovethese crunchy, savory straws.

Sensible Portions Sea Salt Garden Veggie Straws are currently on sale for $5 off their usual price, so you can get a box of 42 individually wrapped bags for $12.89.

3. Siete Grain Free Tortilla Chips – $4.59

This massive bag of chips is full of grain-free, vegan tortilla chips. Each bag is 15 ounces, making it the perfect size for serving at a house party. These are Sea Salt flavored, so they’d go with any dip, from guacamole to salsa and queso.

4. Nature Valley Biscuits with Almond Butter – $10.99

These Nature Valley Almond Butter Biscuits feature a cinnamon-flavored biscuit and almond butter filling. Each box comes with thirty packs of biscuits, and each serving packs 14g of whole grain.

These bars are ideal for an on-the-go breakfast or midday snack. I always have one in the glove compartment of my car in case of hunger strikes on a long car ride. These are currently on sale for $4.80 less than usual, so there’s never been a better time to give them a try.

5. Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese – $5.29

I think a sprinkle of parmesan can make almost anything taste better. If you agree, now’s the time to snag a 24 oz bottle of Kraft Grated Parmesan Cheese – it’s on sale for $3 less than its regular price.

If you don’t think you’ll get through the whole jar in a short period of time, stick it in the refrigerator, and it’ll last even longer.

6. Frito-Lay Classic Mix – $13.99

Cheetos, Lays BBQ Chips, Fritos, Lays Classic Chips, Cool Ranch Doritos, and Nacho Doritos: this variety pack has something for everyone. With 30 bags in each box, these are ideal for bringing to your kid’s sports game or packing for a snack in your lunch.

7. Pure Organic Layered Fruit Bars – $9.99

These Pure Organic Layered Fruit Bars come in a variety pack with three different flavors: Raspberry Lemonade, Strawberry Banana, and Pineapple Passionfruit. These are all naturally flavored, so they remind me of a healthier version of Fruit by the Foot or Fruit Roll-Ups.

Each box comes with 28 fruit bars, and they’re currently on sale for $4 less than the regular price.

8. Hellman’s Mayonnaise – $6.99

This pack comes with two 25-ounce bottles of mayonnaise. That might sound like a lot, but if you use mayo on sandwiches, in chicken or tuna salad, and as a dipping sauce, then you know this stuff can disappear pretty quickly. At about $7 total, each bottle of mayo is just about $3.50.

9. LaCroix Spring Variety Pack – $6.49

LaCroix is one of my favorite drinks of all time, so I had to snag this 24-pack for just around $6. It’s a variety pack with Limoncello (AKA the best flavor they sell), Hi-Biscus, and Pasteque, which is watermelon. I’ve never tried the last two flavors, so I’m interested in how they’ll measure up.

10. Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce – $8.89

Rao’s Homemade Marinara is an all-around good pasta sauce that everyone seems to love. It’s bright, zesty, and rich. Costco sells this two-pack with a $3 discount this month, with each pack costing $8.89. This is a great deal, considering each 28 oz sauce jar is less than $5.

11. Kerrygold Pure Irish Butter – $10.89

Butter is one of the few ingredients that I will never hesitate to splurge on. Kerrygold is a bit more expensive than store-brand butter, but its creamy, rich texture and flavor make it worth it.

I even look forward to eating buttered toast when I have some of this in my fridge. This month, Costco has Kerrygold Salted and Unsalted Pure Irish Butter on sale for $3.60 less than its usual price.

12. Good Foods Organic Chunky Guacamole – $6.99

Guacamole is notoriously expensive, so finding it on sale is always a win. Right now, you can get three packs of guacamole for just $6.99 at Costco. Not too shabby, considering that’s basically the price of two extra guacs when ordering at Chipotle.

13. Laughing Cow Light Wedges – $5.99

Another major Costco Find this month is Laughing Cow’s Light Wedges. These spreadable cheese wedges are perfect for spreading on top of crackers, as their packaging suggests, but they can be used in so much more.

Put them in quesadillas, grilled cheese sandwiches, or mac and cheese. They’re also just as good eaten by themselves.

14. Falafel Company Beef Kebabs – $8.39

These beef kebabs are seasoned with Mediterranean spices and shaped into long rectangles, making them perfect for skewering and heating in the oven. These are a super easy summer dinner. You can pair them with some rice and Greek salad for a Mediterranean-inspired meal.

15. Bibigo Chicken & Cilantro Mini Wontons – $7.49

These Chicken & Cilantro wontons are fully cooked and ready in just about five minutes. They’re bite-sized and perfect for serving as an appetizer or with some dipping sauce and toothpicks at a party. They are on sale for $2.50 less than the usual price.

16. Simply Protein Crispy Bars – $12.59

These Simply Protein Crispy Bars aren’t my favorite because I find them a bit grainy. But I know several people who rave about these crispy protein bars, so it’s a matter of preference. The three flavors in this variety pack are Peanut Butter Chocolate, Lemon Coconut, and Dark Chocolate Sea Salt.

17. Don Pancho Cilantro Lime Crema – $5.99

If you’ve ever tried Costco Service Deli’s street tacos, you’ll know that the best part of the dish is the creamy, zesty Cilantro Lime Crema. Well, I have good news for you! It’s now sold separately, so you can enjoy it with your homemade tacos. It also makes a great dipping sauce for chicken nuggets and a marinade for fish.

These sauces are in a pack of 2, so each bottle is about $3.
