When you think of Costco, you might imagine bulk groceries, household essentials, and electronics. But, there's more to these warehouses than just everyday items. Occasionally, shoppers come across products that are surprisingly unusual or oddly specific. These items, while not always practical, certainly add a touch of the unexpected to the shopping experience.
From moose pee to doomsday kits, some items are humourous, perplexing, and maybe even a little bit practical. Some are seasonal, online-only, or limited-time offerings, while others are part of the regular inventory. Here are the nine most bizarre items you never knew you could find in a Costco store:

It embodies Costco's love for the oversized and over-the-top, perfect for those who thought their chocolates looked lonely without a piece of furniture attached.

Potty Patch Indoor/Outdoor Training Turf Washroom for Dogs
Potty Patch Indoor/Outdoor Training Turf Washroom for Dogs
Costco

What it is: Costco, the juggernaut of jumbo packs and bulk buys, occasionally throws a curveball with items like this pint-sized patch of pseudo-grass. It’s a three-tiered, anti-microbial miracle designed for your dog’s indoor relief, perfect for the potty-training pup or the apartment-bound pooch. The Potty Patch, a small square of artificial greenery, might have your dog looking as confused as you are. It's a weirdly specific solution from the store where you can buy a gallon of mayonnaise and now, apparently, a bathroom for your Bichon.
Nutristore Freeze-dried Diced Chicken, 6 x 500 g

What it is: With a 25-year shelf life, this chicken is practically immortal. It's perfect for those who plan their meals a quarter-century in advance or are prepping for the apocalypse.

It's the kind of purchase that raises eyebrows and possibly questions about your weekend hobbies. The oil is unscented, thermally stable, and chock-full of skin-nourishing ingredients, making it perfect for epic slip-and-slide adventures.
Cricut Mug Press Bundle
Cricut Mug Press Bundle
Costco
Cost: $329.99
What it is: This kit is a DIY dream for those who've ever looked at a plain mug and thought, "This could use my initials in bold." The Cricut Mug Press is like a tiny personal factory, transforming ordinary mugs into personalized treasures. Want to infuse a mug with your cat's face? Easy. Your initials? Done. A motivational quote that's borderline cheesy? Absolutely. The kit includes not just the press, but six blank ceramic mugs. Because what's the point of having a mug press if you can't churn out a half dozen masterpieces? Just remember to use it in a well-ventilated area — creativity loves fresh air.
Argentia Ridge Château Private Selection White Zinfadel Wine Kit
Argentia Ridge Château Private Selection White Zinfadel Wine Kit
Costco
Cost: $119.99
What it is: This kit includes everything but the romantic vineyard setting. You get concentrated grape juice from around the globe, so you can turn your kitchen into a winery. The kit promises a first-class wine, as long as you can follow instructions. The box has enough ingredients to make sixty 750 ml bottles of wine, which sounds like a party waiting to happen. You get corks, shrink caps, grape juice concentrate, fermentation agents, sweet reserves, and even self-adhesive labels. It's a medium-bodied, strawberry pink wine that’s ready shortly after bottling but can age gracefully, like a fine… Costco purchase.
Moose Pheromones and Scent
Moose Pheromones and Scent
Costco
Cost: $69.99
What it is: This is synthetic moose pheromones paired with faux moose urine. Clearly, Costco knows what the people want. You mix the pheromone trigger with the urine base, give it a shake, and create a 15-yard scent line that screams, "Hey moose, over here!" Included are four vials of each ingredient with a shelf life of four years – because when you buy pheromone-infused moose urine, you want it to last. This is the perfect purchase for a hunter, wildlife enthusiast, or anyone who’s ever wondered what happens when you play perfumer in the great outdoors.
Walker Casket - Elegance Cherry - Expedited Shipping
Walker Casket - Elegance Cherry - Expedited Shipping
Costco
Cost: $3,599.99
What it is: In a bold move that blurs the line between convenience and existential dread, Costco allows you to add a casket to your online shopping cart, with the promise of a two-business-day delivery. But, as the fine print reminds us, even in the afterlife, there are no guarantees. "Acts of God, weather-related conditions, and states of emergency" might delay your casket's delivery. It seems even in death, patience is a virtue. It's a bizarre, yet somehow fitting addition to Costco's inventory – for those who like to plan ahead, in every sense of the word.
Northfork Ground Kangaroo 454 g (1 lb) x 8-pack
Northfork Ground Kangaroo 454 g (1 lb) x 8-pack
Costco
Cost: $109.99
What it is: This meat is not only a conversation starter at your next backyard cookout "on the barbie" but also a lean, mean protein source with less than 1% fat. Apparently, its taste is reminiscent of venison. Whether you're looking to switch up your protein sources or just curious about trying kangaroo, Costco’s got you covered – in bulk, of course.
