One of the best things about winter is making healthy, hearty soups that nourish both your body and your soul. Costco makes it easy to do that on a budget without sacrificing quality. The under-$12 box comes with six resealable cartons of broth from organic, rich-flavored, slow-roasted chicken.

Reviewer Claudia said, "This is the best chicken stock out in the market. Will enhance the flavor of any meal you are preparing."

Price: $14.99

Maple syrup is the unsung hero of fall and winter flavors. Ditch the flavored corn syrup and go for the good stuff—organic, pure 100% maple syrup. Costco gives you a whopping 33.8 ounces of that amber breakfast gold, compared to the usual 32-ounce size that costs $24.99 from brands like Spring Tee at grocers like Harris Teeter.

Price: $18.72

A bacon, egg, and cheese bagel from McDonald's now costs $5.59, but a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant at home tastes just as good (maybe even better) for just $2.34 per sandwich when you get them frozen from Costco. They come eight per box, so they're also good to share when guests visit for the holidays.

Price: $25.99

'Tis the season for holiday parties and social gatherings, and you don't want to show up empty-handed. Grab a box or two of Kirkland Signature Belgian chocolates to keep on hand for the season. Each box has 46 assorted top-quality Belgian chocolates.

For reference, A Godiva chocolate box with 15 chocolates is regularly priced at $55, so your wallet and your belly will appreciate Costco's savings.

Price: $9.99

Whether it's soup, chili, or spaghetti sauce to stay warm on cold winter nights, you're going to need a good tomato base. Grabbing an 8-pack of canned tomatoes from Costco is $1.25 per can, which is cheaper than grocery stores such as Giant Food, which regularly retail Hunt's brand for $2.19 per 14.5-ounce can.

Price: $$16.99

Snow days and movie nights require popcorn, and Costco will keep you well stocked. The Kirkland Signature box includes 44 bags of microwave popcorn with that movie theater butter flavor. For reference, an Orville Redenbacher's box of 12 bags is $8.29 at Kroger, so the savings are significant on a shelf-stable snack that will last well past the season.

Price: $19.99

Macadamia nuts are perfect for any party tray, and are intrinsic to some of the best holiday cookies — and because they're usually an expensive item, they add instant elegance. Grabbing an 8-ounce bag from Whole Foods brand, 365, typically costs $11.79, and you'd need to buy three to equal the 1.5-pound bag from Costco.

Price: $22.99

Baking cookies from scratch isn't for everybody, but everybody loves cookies. If you want all the holiday cheer but skip the baking, this massive 49.4-ounce tin from Kirkland Signature will keep you and your guests happily munching on an assortment of Santa's favorite snacks throughout the season, with 15 different cookie varieties.

Price: $$17.99

Running out of milk is annoying, but running out of milk during the holiday season feels like the bad start to a holiday episode of a sitcom. Keeping shelf-stable milk tucked away for those milk emergencies is always a good idea, and these are sized perfectly for singles who just don't go through milk as quickly on their own.

Kirkland Signature offers a case of 18 cartons, each containing 8 ounces. Yes, that's more expensive than buying fresh, but it's priceless in a snowstorm when your milk has suddenly spoiled overnight.

Price: $20.42

Winter can make everyone feel just a little bit more tired than in summer, and energy seems to fade as the dark creeps in earlier every night. Pop a lasagna in the oven for those lazy nights when you want a warm belly full of food without the effort.

Price: $18.15

Getting breakfast to-go seems like a needless expense, since many restaurants are just microwaving food prepared elsewhere. That elsewhere might as well be your own microwave. Grab about 50 slices of fully cooked bacon to throw together your own breakfasts at home without the wait.

The cost of everyday groceries is already out of hand, and adding in the holidays is enough to make anybody start hunting for grocery budget hacks to save a few bucks. Costco has great options for the holidays and for stocking up to stay home more during the colder months.

Make sure to check the store's apparel and home section for more exclusive deals that can help you stretch your shopping budget. This time of the year, there are lots of limited-edition offers that are worth every penny.
