Costco is known for offering cheaper prices and bulk items that can help you save money.
But when you actually see just how big some of these oversized products are while shopping at a warehouse, you might be wondering who needs to buy them.
That includes pantry items, condiments, office supplies, and more.
Plus, there's the giant Costco teddy bear which might just be the most oversized product at the wholesaler's locations in Canada!
Whether you have a Costco membership and shop at the wholesale retailer every week or have never shopped there and are just curious to see what's available, we've got you covered.
Here are nine oversized Costco products — including a few Kirkland Signature items — that will probably have you thinking, "Who is even buying these products?"
Squishmallow plushies
You can find giant Squishmallow plushies at Costco locations.
These oversized plushies are two feet tall — the biggest Squishmallows that are available — and are about the size of a toddler.
While selection often varies by warehouse, there is usually a variety of plushies stacked up in bins in the centre section of the store.
Kirkland Signature honey
Another oversized Costco product is the Kirkland Signature liquid honey that's available at warehouses.
There is a three-kilogram bottle that costs $23.99 — $7.99 per kilogram and $0.79 per 100 grams.
Costco also has a pack of three 750-gram bottles of Kirkland Signature honey for $19.99.
Not only does the three-kilogram bottle seem like a lot but even the smaller three-pack seems like a bit too much honey to buy at once.
Sharpie permanent markers
If you don't go down every aisle at Costco or you don't shop at the wholesale retailer all the time then you might not know that you can get just about everything, including Sharpies.
You can find this 25-count pack of Sharpie permanent markers.
It comes with 24 black permanent markers and a bonus silver permanent marker.
Unless someone runs a business or writes with permanent markers instead of pens every day, who is buying this many Sharpies?
It costs $18.99 for this Sharpie pack which works out to only $0.75 per marker.
Hot chocolate mix
At Costco, there are canisters of Carnation hot chocolate mix that are pretty big.
Just how big? These canisters are actually 1.9 kilograms which seems like a lot of hot chocolate for someone to drink.
It costs $14.99 regularly and that breaks down to just $0.78 per 100 grams.
Vanilla extract
You can find this pack of Club House artificial vanilla extract that comes with two 455-millilitre bottles.
It costs $7.99 which breaks down to $3.99 per bottle and $0.87 per 100 millilitres.
Even just one of these vanilla extract bottles is bigger than what's usually available at grocery stores so it might make you wonder who needs to buy this much vanilla extract.
Maybe it's the low cost of the product that has people adding this two-pack to their shopping carts?
Chicken spice
The herbs, spices and seasonings aisle at Costco is full of oversized products.
That includes spices and seasonings from Club House, Kirkland Signature, The Keg and more that are huge — 360 grams, 675 grams, 750 grams and even 1.1 kilograms — when compared to what you would find at grocery stores in Canada.
This Club House La Grille Montreal chicken spice costs $7.49 for a 675-gram tub.
Also, The Keg steak seasoning costs $7.99 for a one-kilogram tub while the chicken and rib seasoning costs $5.89 for a 750-gram tub.
Ranch dressing
You can find a pack of Hidden Valley ranch dressing with two 1.18-litre bottles at Costco.
This two-pack costs $12.49 which works out to $6.24 per bottle and $0.52 per 100 litres.
Even if there was just one bottle of dressing, it still seems like it'd be way too much unless you use it every day for every meal you eat.
Kirkland Signature microwave popcorn
These boxes of Kirkland Signature microwave popcorn have 44 bags and seem pretty oversized — especially compared to the name-brand Orville Redenbacher boxes that are right beside the Kirkland ones.
Orville Redenbacher boxes only 24 bags of microwave popcorn, just about half of the Kirkland boxes.
But when it comes to the price, it's still cheap. It costs $19.99 for a box with 44 bags that are each 93 grams which breaks down to $0.45 per bag and $0.48 per 100 grams.
Teddy bears
These giant teddy bears at Costco might just be the most oversized products at the wholesale retailer.
If you never spotted this item at your local warehouse, each bear is more than seven and a half feet tall!
Even when they're not sitting up and are lying on their sides in the store instead, the bears are absolutely massive.
It probably makes you wonder how shoppers get this bear to the checkout, how they get it into their car and where they put it when they get home.
Not only are the bears huge but so is the price tag — it costs $249.99 for an oversized teddy bear at Costco. Wow!
