Buying in bulk for the holidays only works if it doesn’t feel like buying in bulk. Costco does its best work in that under-$15 zone — finger foods and appetizers that feel bougie, but don’t blow the budget.

Here are 22 appetizers you can find at Costco that are great deal and will work for your next holiday get-together.

Kirkland Signature Fresh Goat Cheese

Goat cheese feels more festive and a little more special-occasion than most cheeses, and at Costco you can grab two 10-ounce logs of Kirkland Signature Fresh for $9.49. Spread it on crackers or drizzle it with honey and nuts and serve it as-is.

Fratelli Beretta Antipasto

No charcuterie board feels complete without deli meats, and Costco’s Fratelli Beretta antipasto variety pack is a solid deal at about $12. The two 12-ounce packages include Calabrese, pepper-coated salami, Italian dry salami, and prosciutto, which helps you put out a range of cured meats without buying several separate packages.

Tasso’s Garlic & Jalapeno Double Stuffed Olives

Olives are usually the universal boring filler at the appetizer table, but not these babies. Tasso’s olives come double stuffed with garlic and jalapeño, which means there’s a lot going on in every bite. A giant 35.27 oz jar goes for around $10. 

Three Little Pigs Pâté Variety Pack

If you want to class up your appetizer table a bit, going French is an easy shortcut, and Costco sells this Three Little Pigs pâté variety pack for about $11 with two sliced mousses, including a pork and chicken liver mousse with black truffles and a duck liver mousse with port that you can put out straight from the package and call it a holiday. 

Crunchmaster 6-Seed Multi-Grain Crackers

If you’re putting out pâté, you need a decent vessel, and these Costco Crunchmaster 6-Seed Multi-Grain Crackers might just be it. Even if you go pâté-free, they still earn a place on the charcuterie board, since they’re made with olive oil and packed with sesame, flax, amaranth, quinoa, chia, and millet for about $10 a box.

Garcia Baquero Spanish Cheese Selection

For a more cultured hosting, make room on the cheese board for this Spanish trio, which includes Manchego, Tipsy Goat, and Iberico, for about $11. 

Vegetable Platter with Ranch Dressing Dip

You’ll also need some fiber to balance all that cheese and fat, and this Costco veggie tray covers it with broccoli, carrots, celery, green beans and peppers served alongside ranch. It goes for around $13.

Cuisine Adventures Green Chile Chicken Firecrackers

Heat is great for increasing appetite, and these Green Chile Chicken Firecrackers bring it with crispy wrappers, a savory chicken filling, and just enough chile kick to wake things up — all for about $15 a box.

Honey Smoked Fish Catch n’ Share Charcuterie

If you want something beyond meat and cheese, this honey smoked fish kit — at about $13.50 — comes with smoked salmon, Castelvetrano olives, dark chocolate–covered cranberries, a lemon and chive spread, and rice crackers. 

Stonemill Kitchens Artichoke, Jalapeno & Parmesan Dip

Stonemill Artichoke, Jalapeño & Parmesan Dip will do at your appetizer table, especially since the 30-ounce tub goes for around $10 and only asks for a bag of chips or crackers to make itself useful.

Ling Ling Chicken Potstickers

If you have fans of Asian food at your get-together, you know that potstickers are bound to be a crowdpleaser. Ling Ling’s version ($13.38 for 67.2 oz bag) comes filled with seasoned chicken and vegetables in thin wrappers that crisp up well when pan-fried or steamed straight from the freezer.

Del Real Three Cheese Quesadilla Bites

A quesadilla is one of the most comforting handheld foods, which is exactly why it works so well as an appetizer. Del Real bites are stuffed corn quesadillas filled with three cheeses that heat up fast and come ready to serve for  $13.

Tostitos Chunky Salsa

You’ll need a good salsa to pair with those quesadilla bites, and Costco’s Tostitos Chunky Salsa comes in two large jars for $9.59, which is a great deal.

Kirkland Signature Organic Roasted Pine Nut Hummus

Hummus is either a filler or a crowd magnet at the appetizer table, and this Kirkland version is the latter with a nutty flavor from roasted pine nuts. A 34-ounce tub goes for $6.69 which makes it easy to buy two tubs just in case.

Motor City Pizza 5 Cheese Bread

Detroit-style cheese bread comes out thick, chewy, and aggressively cheesy. At around $12 for two trays, it’s easy to slice it up and let the people eat cheese, I say. 

Stonemill Kitchens Creamy Cranberry Jalapeño Premium Dip

If you want to serve something spicy without taking risks as a host, this cranberry jalapeño dip is a safe bet. The heat from the jalapeño is balanced by the tartness of the cranberries, and a 31-ounce tub goes for around $10.

Bibigo Vegetable Spring Rolls with Soy Ginger Sauce

Spring rolls are a great appetizer because they weirdly feel light and filling at the same time. Bibigo vegetable spring rolls — for about $10 for a 48-ounce box — are filled with jicama, edamame, carrot, cabbage, and sweet potato, and come with a soy ginger sauce that adds savory balance.

Kirkland Signature Cashew Clusters

For a little crunch on a charcuterie board, these cashew clusters mix mostly cashews with almonds and pumpkin seeds. A 2-pound bag costs about $12 and can sit out without any prep.

Brazi Bites Brazilian Cheese Bread, Cheddar & Parmesan

Known as pão de queijo, these bite-sized Brazilian cheese breads are — excuse the bias, but after living in Portugal and eating them nonstop, I would genuinely trade air for them — divine. Costco’s Brazi Bites version is made with cheddar and Parmesan, and a bag with about 64 balls of cheese heaven goes for around $12.

Hebrew National Beef Franks in A Blanket

But if you’d rather go for something classic and nostalgic, Costco sells Hebrew National Beef Franks in a blanket as a 32-count pack for $11.11.

Kirkland Signature Tortilla Strips

Kirkland tortilla strips come in a ginormous, three-pound bag for about $7, and they sure will look pretty next to any dip or your choice of hummus.

Feel Good Foods Crispy Jalapeño Bites

If you want heat that stays with you, these crispy jalapeño bites will do. A two-pound bag at about $15 comes with breaded jalapeños mixed with white cheddar and cream cheese.
