Costco Fans Say This Kirkland Product Is Their 'Holy Grail'
Costco remains one of our favorite grocery stores, thanks to its bulk options and affordable prices, and of course, the free samples. With tasty prepared meals and that signature rotisserie chicken, there are so many items that keep shoppers coming back.
The bakery is home to viral cakes and treats that are perfect for hosting. You can also find a ton of snacks such as chocolate-drizzled popcorn and pickle-flavored potato chips. And don't get us started on the food court, which is home to classics like freshly baked pizzas or that iconic hot dog combo.
Costco members don't hold back on their opinions, especially on Reddit. In a recent thread, shoppers discussed their must-buy products from the warehouse, and one surprising product came out on top.
Costco's Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese
Last week, Redditor @valhalla_la asked the Costco subreddit, "What is your holy grail Costco item?" And dozens of Redditors gushed about one specific deli find: Kirkland Signature Coastal Cheddar Cheese. It's not your average Cheddar, though. The Kirkland Signature product is an English Cheddar, and if you're wondering what makes this cheese special, it's all in the aging and texture.
Each block is aged for up to 15 months, allowing the flavor to intensify over time. The cheese also has a unique texture due to calcium lactate crystals, which develop during the aging process. One Redditor described it as a cross between Cheddar and Parmesan, with another fan adding, "Love the little crunchies in it."
The thread continued with so much cheesy hype. One shopper raved about their love of the Cheddar, saying, "I am obsessed with the Kirkland Coastal Cheddar and have replaced all other cheeses in my life."
Another fan mentioned their dismay over the cheese being out of stock, sharing, "My Costco hasn't had the Coastal Cheddar in over a year. It's been devastating for my family."
Next time you make a Costco trip, grab a block to use in your favorite cheesy recipes. Whether you grate it or crumble it, this Cheddar lends itself beautifully to a variety of uses. Use it to put together a stunning charcuterie board. Or add it to a comforting pot of macaroni and cheese or a classic grilled cheese. No matter how you use it, this cheesy buy is sure to become a favorite.

Costco debuts new fall dessert members already love
Americans have an obsession with all things fall. Whether it's pumpkin-flavored coffee or soap that makes our hands smell like fresh-baked apple pie, there's something about the fall season that tends to tickle our emotions and tempt us to buy things that may or may not fit our budget. If you've ever splurged on lawn decor or cozy throw blankets in various shades of orange and brown, you're nodding along. Related: Costco surprises fans with return of member favorite There's something so cozy and inviting about fall that it's easy to see why so many people embrace it. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Fall really gives us the best of all worlds – warm-ish weather during the day, cool weather at night, and in some areas of the country, beautiful changing leaves that make an otherwise mundane drive through the neighborhood amazingly scenic. And if that tempts you to spend a little extra money to enjoy the season, so be it. There's a reason retailers tend to stock up on fall items, and why food and beverage makers tend to produce an apple or pumpkin-flavored version of their most popular products. Consumers are usually willing to open their wallets during the fall and scoop up those seasonal items while they're still available. Related: Costco adds strict new policy for free samples And let's face it – the fall season is shrinking in much of the country. Fall in the Northeast used to begin in September and last well into November. Now, you might still be wearing your flip-flops on October 1. Grocery retailers are in an especially strong position to take advantage of the fall product-buying frenzy because food is relatively inexpensive to purchase impulsively. A $45 fall-colored rug might give you pause, and there may be a part of your brain that stops you from making that purchase on a whim. It's easier to spend $5 on pumpkin cookies or maple coffee creamer without having to stress about it. Like many retailers, Costco is no stranger to fall products. Whether it's home decor, clothing, or Halloween costumes and accessories, Costco knows full well that members expect those seasonal items to hit the shelves in September and October. This year, Costco has opted to bring back fall a bit early. And members are loving it. Related: Costco has another rule members may not know Costco recently unveiled a new addition to its baked goods selection - Apple Fritter Donut Bites. If you've ever been to a fall festival and popped a freshly made apple cider donut into your mouth, you know just how delicious a treat it is. Costco's version doesn't come warm, but you can warm up these donut bites at home and enjoy an amazing dessert (or breakfast or lunch - no one's judging). So far, Costco fans are sharing their love for the new Apple Fritter Donut Bites on social media. One Reddit poster said, "Their churro bites are good, but OMG these are fantastic!"

There's a solution to that, though. Buy them now, bag them, and freeze them. You'll have something to look forward to when sweater weather arrives. Maurie Backman owns shares of Costco.

Verizon just confirmed it's raising fees again — here's what you'll pay now
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Verizon, one of the best phone carriers, may have introduced a three-year price lock in April, but prices can still go up on your phone bill. The company confirmed to Tom's Guide that it's "making some adjustments" that will raise various fees starting in September. In a statement, a Verizon spokesperson said that the "vast majority" of customers would see an increase of "less than 30 cents" to their monthly bill. "To continue delivering the best customer experience on America's best 5G network and industry-leading services and tools that save our customers' time and money, we're making some adjustments," the statement reads. A recent Reddit thread (spotted by PhoneArena) revealed a number of fees that would see increases; Verizon spokesperson's confirmed those increases. The affected fees include the Administrative and Telco Recovery Charge which is used by Verizon to pay for "direct and indirect" costs like property taxes, and was already raised by the carrier last December. According to the Reddit post, the recovery charge will increase by 28 cents to $3.78 per voice line. Data-only plans are taking a massive leap from $1.60 to $3.97 per line. The Verizon Regulatory Charge is also rising 3 cents from $0.19 to $0.21 per line. This charge is an assessment that the carrier uses to to cover "various government charges." "These adjustments are in line with market rates and allow us to continue to provide top-tier products and services," the spokesperson said. While Verizon's three-year price lock keeps your main plan at a friendlier price for longer, it doesn't specifically lock fees and taxes. The guaranteed price lock is only available to customers on a newer myPlan subscription. Lastly, the post indicates that Verizon is also raising the price of its device activation fee from $35 to $40, which can already be seen on the Verizon website. Tablet plans are also rising by an additional $5 a month. Follow Tom's Guide on Google News to get our up-to-date news, how-tos, and reviews in your feeds. Make sure to click the Follow button.

Verizon confirms bad news for millions of customers via email
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Verizon customers aren't having the best week. First, we heard the carrier was planning to increase fees, and now it appears that Verizon is raising fees and removing discounts from some plans, leaving customers forced to spend extra money. This is likely to upset some people and potentially lead them to switch to one of the other top phone carriers, such as T-Mobile, AT&T, or any of the popular MVNOs, which can be significantly more affordable. The gigantic mobile carrier is pulling loyalty discounts from customer accounts on September 1, at least that's what emails posted on Reddit claim. "We are writing to let you know that a discount on your account will soon end. This discount will be removed no sooner than September 1, 2025. It is important to us to be upfront and transparent when changes are made to your account," reads the alleged email. Of course, Verizon reminds impacted customers that it continues "to invest in offering the very best experience and most value for your money in the industry," but that may not be good enough for some users who are frustrated by this change. One Reddit user said, "They're ending loyalty discounts, which was the only thing keeping me with Verizon. Guess I'm gonna port out." It appears Verizon wants to get customers on older plans to switch, and this could be another attempt to persuade them. In the email, the company even says, "We want to ensure you get the best value and experience from Verizon and encourage you to check out our myPlan options for the plan that works best for you." It's a bold move from Verizon, as it could lead customers to port their numbers out instead of switching to myPlan. Perhaps people on the older plans with loyalty discounts aren't as profitable, and Verizon figures it's better to take the risk of losing them by moving them to more lucrative plans. But that's speculation. In the meantime, read why we recently updated our top pick for best phone carrier from Verizon to T-Mobile.
