Bobby Parrish Recap: Costco in November 2026, Sales, New Items and a Stuffing Recipe

The latest full video on Bobby Parrish's official YouTube channel, "Costco November: Everything You Need to Know!", was posted on November 1, 2026 and runs about 48 minutes. Parrish, a food and grocery content creator, walks through his local Costco to cover the November coupon-book sales (which he says are nationwide), the new items at his store, and a few Thanksgiving groceries. He then cooks a sourdough bread stuffing at home and finishes with a round-up of new items reported in other Costco regions. There is no regular guest this time, though a few shoppers chat with him in the aisles. Everything below reflects his own opinions and shopping habits, not a plan to follow.

Please talk with a doctor or registered dietitian before changing your diet, especially if you have allergies (the video covers wheat, dairy, sesame, sunflower seeds, tree nuts and more), a medical condition, take medication, are pregnant, are feeding children or have a history of an eating disorder.

GNOUP has no connection to any product, brand or paid offer mentioned in or around the video and does not promote any of them.

Key takeaways

• This month's sales lean toward kitchen gear. Parrish says the November coupon book, which he says runs until November 15, is heavier on cooking equipment than food. He highlights an air fryer he describes as Teflon-free with stainless-steel baskets, a KitchenAid stand mixer, a stick blender with attachments, a Ninja blender system, a ceramic-lined multi-cooker and a countertop nugget ice maker.
• "Read the label, then swap." His pattern in every aisle is to flip the package, name the ingredient he objects to, and point to an alternative. Examples include soybean-oil mayonnaise (he prefers avocado-oil mayo), boxed chicken broth (he prefers bone broth), sugary hot cocoa mix and processed salami (he prefers Prosciutto di Parma).
• A sale price isn't automatically a good buy. Several of the items he tells viewers to skip are on sale, and several of his picks are not. His point is that the discount matters less to him than the ingredient list.
• Newsworthy: a "recipe of the month" segment. Parrish says he is adding a recipe made mostly from Costco ingredients to each monthly Costco video. November's is a sourdough bread stuffing, and he hints that December's could be a slow braise made in the new multi-cooker.
• Regional items are getting more coverage. He closes with new items reported in the Northeast, Midwest, Bay Area, Los Angeles, Northwest, Texas and San Diego regions, and asks viewers to help him track what's new at their own warehouses.
• He discloses an investment. When praising a new sunflower-butter-and-jam snack pack, Parrish says he is a small investor in the company that makes it, which is worth keeping in mind.

Healthy-eating and grocery tips from the video

These are the host's tips, prices and nutrition figures as he states them in the video. GNOUP has not checked them, and labels and prices vary by product, store and region.

• Immune-style juice shots. Parrish likes a pack of juice shots made with pineapple, coconut, orange, ginger and turmeric, and says they work out to about a dollar each. He points to black pepper on the label (he says it helps the body use turmeric) and acerola cherry as the vitamin C source.
• Mayonnaise. He passes on a large sale tub of a classic mayo (he says $6.49) because it's made with soybean oil, which he calls inflammatory, and because of the preservative and flavoring on the label. He suggests avocado-oil mayonnaise instead, even though it costs more. Nutrition experts disagree about seed oils; this is his view.
• Broth and bone broth. He skips boxed chicken broth with natural flavoring and yeast extract in favor of a beef bone broth he says is made by simmering grass-fed beef bones with vegetables. He says the gelatin makes it thicker and better for gravies, and that it's cheaper at Costco than the $5 to $7 a box he sees elsewhere.
• Sparkling water in glass. He prefers Italian sparkling mineral water in glass bottles (he says 15 bottles for $17 on sale) over water in plastic, citing his concern about microplastics.
• Filtered-water ice. He says a countertop nugget ice maker ($199 on sale, by his account) lets you use your own filtered water instead of the freezer's built-in filter.
• Hot cocoa. He says a popular 50-packet hot cocoa mix lists sugar and corn syrup first, with about 23 g of added sugar per serving, and suggests making your own instead.
• Vanilla. He calls the Kirkland Madagascar vanilla beans in a glass jar a strong deal, and points to an online sale on two 8 oz bottles of Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract ($35, he says). He would skip vanilla paste because, in his experience, it contains cane sugar.
• Mouthwash. He says the classic green mouthwashes get their color from artificial dyes and use alcohol, which he considers too harsh on the oral microbiome, and he prefers an alcohol-free option.
• Frozen vegetables count. He praises Costco's frozen vegetable range, including a new Tattooed Chef Calabrian chili vegetable blend (3 lb for $12, he says) with 1 g of sugar per cup, and in San Diego a 5 lb bag of organic frozen corn. He says frozen produce is picked and frozen at peak freshness and is an economical way to eat more vegetables.
• Kid snacks with simple labels. He likes new Bear fruit bites (24 packets for $12, he says) because the label lists only fruit, with 2 g of fiber per serving.
• Gummy "immunity" supplements. He puts back a new Grüns immunity gummy (a 35-pack for $39.99, he says) because cane sugar is listed first and a serving has 7 g of added sugar; he calls it "glorified candy" in his opinion.
• Fiber and protein from soup. He welcomes back a white bean and vegetable soup that he says has 10 g of fiber and 12 g of protein per cup (a two-pack for about $9.39, he says).
• Baby bellas over white buttons. He says baby bella mushrooms were the same price per pound as white button mushrooms at his store ($3.99 a pound) and have far more flavor.
• Butter for the holidays. He recommends Kirkland grass-fed butter as a better value than a well-known Irish grass-fed brand.
• Parsley in water. At home he stores parsley upright in a cup of water and says it can last about two weeks that way.
• Stripping thyme. Hold the top of the sprig and run your fingers down against the direction the leaves grow.
• Long oven gloves. For holiday cooking, he suggests oven gloves that extend past the wrist to avoid burns on oven racks.

His sourdough stuffing, in brief

The full recipe is in the video's description. In short: cube about a pound of sourdough and toast it at 350°F until lightly golden but not crouton-hard; cook baby bella mushrooms, sage and thyme in butter, then add onion and celery (a full stick of butter in total); stir in warm bone broth a little at a time until the bread is moist but not mushy; taste and season (he adds more salt because the bread is unseasoned); fold in parsley; and bake in a greased dish at 350°F for about 30 to 40 minutes until golden, with a slight jiggle in the center. He rests it before serving and bakes it as a side dish rather than inside the turkey.

• Recommends (his view), sale items: the juice shots described above; a Teflon-free air fryer; a KitchenAid stand mixer ($100 off); a stick blender with whisk, cup and mini-chopper attachments ($29.99); San Pellegrino in glass bottles; a Ninja blender and food-processor system ($135); a ceramic multi-cooker ($60), which he says he'll buy and test; a countertop nugget ice maker ($199); Kirkland vanilla beans; Nielsen-Massey vanilla extract (online).
• Recommends (his view), new or regular items: Simple Mills chocolate Sweet Thins ($9.79); a Graza olive-oil hummus ($8.99), although he says he personally preferred the Ithaca olive-oil hummus and his daughter found the Graza one too garlicky; a sunflower-butter, jam and cassava-cracker snack pack (4 for $10, from a company he says he has invested in); Tattooed Chef Calabrian chili vegetables ("not perfect" in his words, but better than most); Bear fruit bites; the returning white bean soup; Spindrift cranberry raspberry sparkling water (24 cans for $16); avocado-oil mayonnaise; beef bone broth; Prosciutto di Parma; Kirkland grass-fed butter; baby bella mushrooms; organic sourdough bread; Crown Maple syrup.
• Recommends (his view), regional items: Farmer Focus organic ground chicken and a Celtic sea salt (Northeast); Simple Mills Sweetums and Rastelli's grass-fed ground beef (Midwest); The Yes Bar fruit and nut bars and a tangerine juice (Bay Area); organic cinnamon apple chips and a six-seed cracker (Los Angeles); avocado-oil tortilla chips and Partanna Castelvetrano olives (Northwest); Brothers-All-Natural freeze-dried fruit crisps (Texas); organic frozen corn (San Diego). He also notes a T-fal stovetop pressure cooker and a Tramontina stainless-steel mixing bowl set in several regions.
• Steers away from (his view): a large tub of soybean-oil mayonnaise; Swanson boxed chicken broth; Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix; an alcohol-based green mouthwash; a pre-sliced salami with added sugar, corn syrup and nitrites; Grüns immunity gummies; vanilla bean paste; plastic-bottled sparkling water. He also says he bought a slushie machine last summer and didn't like it.
• Unsure about (his view): a coconut kefir drink in glass jars ($25 for two), which he calls gut-friendly but very expensive, pointing to a cheaper alternative from Harmless Harvest; and a 98-inch TV, where he says he can't tell whether the price is a good deal.
• Not covered here: the video has a paid sponsor segment for a mattress company, a plug for the host's own hot cocoa and other products, a viewer gift-card giveaway and a call for viewers to film products in exchange for free merchandise. We left all of these out and don't repeat any discount codes or links from the description.

Other things worth knowing

• Stuffing and food safety. Parrish bakes his stuffing in a separate dish, mentioning cross-contamination. If you do cook stuffing inside a turkey, standard U.S. food-safety guidance is to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches 165°F.
• "Nut-free" isn't "allergen-free." He calls the sunflower-butter snack pack school-safe because it has no peanuts or tree nuts. Sunflower seeds can be an allergen too, and schools set their own rules, so check labels and your school's policy.
• Health claims are his. Statements in the video about seed oils, sugar and immunity, nonstick coatings, microplastics and mouthwash reflect the host's views. Some of these topics are still being researched or debated, so ask a qualified professional if a decision depends on them.
