So let’s dig into the largest things you can buy at Costco.
Life size Teddy bear

When you think of a teddy bear, you’re probably thinking of small and cuddly plush toys. But Costco likes to go big, even when it comes to stuffed animals. This is why they offer the life-size plush bear. But it’ll also cost you big bucks as it rings in at $399.99.

Just be sure to have $4,999 to spare.
Swimming pools

Home gyms

1 year emergency food pallet

If you’re prepping for the end times, you may be interested in the Mountain House 1 Year Emergency Food Pallet.

And that should generate 1,985 calories per day on average for one person. This beast of an emergency food package costs a whopping $6,999.
Emergency food bucket
- Size: 150 servings
While not as big as the Mountain House food pallet, the Ready Wise 150 Serving Emergency Food Bucket still deserves a mention. And it also generated some big buzz on social media with many calling it the “Doomsday” or “Apocalypse” food bucket. This bad boy packs 150 servings and it’s supposed to have a 25-year shelf life. It contains favorites like mac n cheese, teriyaki rice, and pasta alfredo. You can get one for $79.99 today.

America’s Original Bubble Double gum balls have been a staple of candy for generations. And you can get a box with 850 gumballs for $24 through Costco. Just remember to fight the urge to toss the balls on the floor as people are walking out of rooms.
Giant tub of honey
- Size: 60lbs
You honey lovers can really go big at Costco with its 60 lb tub of Sioux Pure Honey. It’s U.S. Grade A and gluten free. But be sure to bulk up with Costco’s home gym equipment before you decide to carry that thing around. Price varies by zip code.
Cheese wheel
- Size: 72 lbs
Do you like cheese? Hate running to the store to restock? Why not grab 72 lbs of it at once? That’s what you’d get with Costco’s Whole Wheel Parmigiano Reggiano. It’s aged two years and is imported directly from Italy.
Plus, the Parmigiano Reggiano brand came back into the spotlight during the 2024 Olympic games when photos of gymnast Giorgia Villa posing by doing splits on their cheese wheels reemerged. She had landed a promotional deal with the brand back in 2021 and won a silver medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in France. But this wheel’s price ain’t cheezy. It costs $949.99.
