It's that time of year when football takes center stage in a collision of arguably the two best teams in the NFL for Super Bowl LVIII. Whether you are cheering for Kansas City or San Francisco or a Taylor Swift appearance is up to you, but pretty much everyone can agree at least two highlights of this annual showdown: the commercials and the snacks.
No matter if you're just there to catch a glimpse of Usher's halftime show, check out celeb cameos, or actually watch football, grazing while you do so is a must.
Costco is the ultimate one-stop shop for all of your Super Bowl snacking needs. From prepared foods to marinated meats, frozen goodies to dips galore, here are 14 items to pick up for your gathering. Costco also puts its TVs on sale right before the Super Bowl, so if you need a vessel for watching—the warehouse club has you covered there, too.
