Is yogurt at Costco the hidden gem in your grocery list, offering a world of flavor and health benefits? The sheer variety and value found within Costco's refrigerated aisles suggest that yogurt is, in fact, one of the most underrated items in the entire store.
Navigating the Costco yogurt selection can be an adventure in itself, with options ranging from traditional to Greek, nonfat to whole milk, and a dizzying array of flavors. The Kirkland Signature Organic Greek Yogurt, for instance, is a standout, boasting a creamy, smooth texture and remarkable versatility. But the yogurt landscape extends far beyond this popular offering, encompassing brands like Siggi's, Stonyfield, Noosa, and Skotidakis, each with its own unique appeal.
Let's take a closer look at some of the standout yogurt options available at Costco. Remember, Costco Business Delivery has specific terms for certain products, notably tobacco, which cannot be returned and requires a specific license. The prices listed are those offered by Costco Business Centre, and delivery surcharges may apply to smaller orders.

Costco's offerings don't stop at the yogurt itself. You can find it in the refrigerated aisle, making it easy to incorporate into your routine. Delivery, with the caveat of surcharges on smaller orders, provides an added convenience. Your first delivery or pickup order is free, so it's a great way to sample the offerings.
Costco's commitment to its customers extends to returns. The refund policy applies to yogurt as well, and other products. It is important to note that tobacco products have a different set of rules, and they are not able to be returned.
Ultimately, the "best" yogurt at Costco depends on your individual preferences. Do you favor the tang and protein of Greek yogurt, the convenience of a variety pack, or the unique flavors of Icelandic skyr? With such a wide selection, there's bound to be a yogurt to suit every taste.
