21 Affordable Costco Thanksgiving Charcuterie Board Finds (with prices)

I always like putting out a charcuterie board on Thanksgiving because it gives everyone something to snack on while I finish getting dinner ready.

Costco is one of my favorite places to shop for charcuterie because I can find meats, cheeses, crackers, and seasonal extras in larger packages at affordable prices.

You definitely don’t need to buy all of these products for one board. I would choose one or two meats, three cheeses with different textures, two crackers, and a few sweet or briny extras.

Here are the Costco finds I spotted this fall that would make an easy and impressive Thanksgiving charcuterie board.

Charcuterie Meats

Kirkland Salame

Costco’s reduced-sodium Italian-style salami is a great addition to your Thanksgiving charcuterie board. At just $9.99 for a 2-pound pack (two bags included), it’s a very affordable charcuterie board meat to serve!

Casale 18-Month Aged Prosciutto di Parma

Prosciutto is one of the easiest meats to add because it looks elegant without requiring any preparation. Costco’s Casale 18-Month Aged Prosciutto di Parma is $13.69 for two 6 ounce packages.

It’s a product of Italy, and the two separate packages are convenient if you want to open one for Thanksgiving and save the other for later.

Loosely fold the slices instead of laying them flat so the prosciutto adds height and texture to the board. It pairs especially well with brie, cheddar, dried figs, and crackers.

Formaggio Charcuterie Bites

If you want something guests can pick up easily, the Formaggio Charcuterie Bites were $13.79 for an 18 ounce package. They combine dry-aged prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, and basil, so the meat and cheese are already assembled for you.

I would place these around the edge of the board or serve them in a small dish beside it. They’re an easy shortcut when you don’t want to spend time rolling meats or making individual skewers.

Fratelli Beretta Antipasto

For an easy way to add several cured meats, look for the Fratelli Beretta Antipasto. Each package contains 12 ounces, for 1.5 pounds total, with Calabrese salami, pepper-coated dry salami, Italian dry salami, and prosciutto.

Everything is already sliced, so you can arrange a few folded pieces of each meat around the board.

Jamon Serrano

For a showstopping centerpiece, Costco has the Costa Brava Serrano Reserva Bone-In Ham Gift Set for $105.99. The Spanish ham is aged for at least 12 months and weighs 14.3 pounds.

It comes with a ham stand and carving knife, so you have what you need to slice it at home.

This is more of a splurge than the other charcuterie meats on this list, but it could make sense for a large Thanksgiving gathering or if you plan to serve it throughout the holiday season. Slice the ham very thinly and add small portions to the board as needed or have your guests help themselves.

Cheeses

Cello Cracker Cut Cheese Tray

The Cello Cracker Cut Cheese Tray is my favorite shortcut to assembling a charcuterie board. You don’t even need to slice the cheese because everything comes pre-sliced to fit crackers.

Each pack contains 2 pounds of pre-sliced cheese. It’s affordable at only $12.99 a pack.

You can fan the slices around the board or divide the varieties into small groups so guests can see the different choices.

Boursin Cheese

Boursin is a charcuterie-board classic because it’s creamy, spreadable, and easy to pair with crackers. Costco’s three-pack includes Garlic & Fine Herbs and Shallot & Chive cheeses. It’s $8.99 for 3 boursin cheese.

You don’t have to put out all three packages at once. I would serve one or two and keep the remaining package sealed for future holiday parties.

Kirkland Signature Cheese Flight

If you want variety without choosing every cheese separately, the Kirkland Signature Cheese Flight was $23.99 for 1.8 pounds. It includes five different cheeses, making it an easy way to assemble a visually appealing charcuterie board.

Although it costs more than buying one block of cheese, it’s worth the convenience of having pre-selected cheese. Arrange the cheeses in the order suggested on the package so guests can taste them from mild to bold.

Celebrity Cranberry Cinnamon Goat Cheese

The Celebrity Cranberry Cinnamon Goat Cheese is $8.69 for a 1 pound log. The cranberry coating gives it a festive color, while the cinnamon makes it feel especially appropriate for Thanksgiving.

This is the kind of cheese that makes the board look seasonal with almost no effort. Place it near plain crackers so the flavor of the cheese stands out.

Jasper Hill Farm Willoughby Vermont Artisan Cheese

For something guests may not expect, Costco had Jasper Hill Farm Willoughby Vermont Artisan Cheese for $12.99 for an 8 ounce wheel. It’s a soft-ripened artisan cheese from Vermont and gives the board a more gourmet feel.

I would use this as one of the special cheeses rather than buying several expensive options. Let it sit at room temperature briefly before serving so the texture and flavor can open up.

Saint André Triple Crème Mini Brie

The Saint André Triple Crème Mini Brie is $8.89 for a 7 ounce wheel. It’s imported from France and has a rich, creamy texture that pairs well with prosciutto, dried fruit, and crisp crackers.

The smaller wheel is a good size for a charcuterie board because it won’t take over the entire platter. Leave it whole and cut the first small wedge so guests know it’s ready to serve.

Kirkland Signature Coastal Mature English Cheddar

For a firmer cheese, the Kirkland Signature Coastal Mature English Cheddar is $7.69 per pound. It has a bold, mature flavor and adds a different texture alongside soft cheeses such as brie, Boursin, and goat cheese.

Cut some of the cheddar into cubes and some into small wedges to make the board look more interesting. Since it is sold by weight, the final package price will depend on the piece you choose.

Stonemill Kitchens Caramel Apple Cranberry Baked Brie Kit

For a warm centerpiece beside the cold charcuterie board, the Stonemill Kitchens Caramel Apple Cranberry Baked Brie Kit is $12.99 for 28.8 ounces. The kit includes puff pastry dough, a brie wheel, caramel apple cranberry chutney, and roasted pecans.

Serve it warm on a separate plate with crackers. The fall flavors make it feel made for Thanksgiving (plus it will impress your guests), and the kit saves you from buying the brie, pastry, chutney, and nuts separately.

Kirkland Signature Gouda Cheese

The Kirkland Signature Gouda Cheese is $5.89 per pound. It is imported from Holland and is mild and creamy, making it an approachable choice for guests who may not like stronger cheeses.

Since the Gouda is sold by weight, the final package price will depend on the piece you select. Cut it into cubes or thin wedges and pair it with cured meats, olives, and plain crackers.

Spreads and Crackers

Everything Bagel Chips

The Schwartz Brothers Organic Everything Bagel Chips is $7.99 for a 15 ounce container. Their everything seasoning adds more flavor than a plain cracker, and their sturdy texture works well with spreadable cheeses.

Put a small pile on the board and keep the rest of the container nearby for refills. That prevents the crackers from taking up too much space or becoming soggy beside softer foods.

Firehook Organic Sea Salt & Chive Crackers

The Firehook Organic Sea Salt & Chive Crackers is $12.49 for 17 ounces. These long, crisp crackers look especially nice standing in a cup or fanned along the edge of a large grazing board.

Because they’re already seasoned, I would pair them with milder cheeses rather than putting them next to the cranberry cinnamon goat cheese.

Better With Buckwheat Savory Fig & Thyme Maine Crisps

The Better With Buckwheat Savory Fig & Thyme Maine Crisps is $13.49 for two 10-ounce bags. They’re grain-free and gluten-free, and the fig-and-thyme flavor fits naturally with a Thanksgiving board.

These crackers already bring a sweet and savory element, so they pair well with brie, goat cheese, and prosciutto. Keep the package nearby so guests who need a gluten-free option can check the label.

Fruits, Nuts and Olives

Vacaville Fruit Company Fruit & Nut Tray

The Vacaville Fruit Company Fruit & Nut Tray is $26.99 for 36 ounces, or 2.25 pounds. It’s a convenient way to add several dried fruits and nuts without buying multiple full-size bags, and the assortment gives the board more color, sweetness, and texture.

You can place the tray next to the meats and cheeses or transfer small portions to empty spaces on your charcuterie board. I would keep the original package nearby for guests with nut allergies and avoid letting the nuts touch other foods if anyone at the gathering have nut allergies.

Sunny Fruit Organic Sun-Dried Smyrna Figs

The Sunny Fruit Organic Sun-Dried Smyrna Figs are $10.39 for a 40 ounce bag. They have no added sugar and add a chewy, naturally sweet contrast to salty meat and cheese.

The Costco bag is large, so you only need to put a small handful on the board. Slice a few figs in half to show the inside and make them easier for guests to eat.

Solestado Muffuletta Olive Salad

Instead of buying several containers of olives, try adding a small bowl of Solestado Muffuletta Olive Salad. The 33.9 ounce jar is $9.79.

Its chopped olives and other antipasto-style ingredients add a briny flavor that balances rich cheeses and cured meats.

Use a small serving spoon and keep it in its own bowl so the oil doesn’t spread across the crackers. The large jar also leaves plenty for sandwiches or appetizers after Thanksgiving.

DeLallo Mediterranean Olive Medley

The DeLallo Mediterranean Olive Medley comes in a 40 ounce container filled with pitted olives in marinade.

This is an easy way to add several types of olives without buying separate jars. Drain a small portion and serve it in a bowl so the marinade stays away from the crackers, then refill the bowl as needed.
