With Thanksgiving already just weeks away, shoppers are starting to stock up on holiday staples.
From discounted baking supplies to easy appetizers and quick meals, Costco is offering a number of food finds for shoppers preparing for Thanksgiving.
New and seasonal products continue to spark excitement online, even without steep discounts, said Andrew Edelblum, Ph.D., an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Dayton in Ohio.

“They don’t even necessarily need to have really phenomenal deals on their product to drum up excitement about whatever is new coming through the doors on a week-to-week basis,” Edelblum told Fox News Digital.
The holiday-season buzz is especially visible around Costco’s pumpkin pie, a Costco staple that Edelblum said benefits from the retailer’s bulk purchasing and in-house bakery production.
Here are seven Costco food deals and seasonal finds to check out, according to recent reports.
