Costco Bakery Buttermilk Biscuits Debut at 10 for $6.99

Costco bakery buttermilk biscuits are now on the shelf at 10 for $6.99. The new item lands in the bakery department with praise for a homemade taste and immediate pushback over its appearance. Shoppers who want them will have to judge the biscuit by the box, because the online reaction split fast.

Costco’s 10-for-$6.99 price

10 for $6.99 is the clearest number in the launch. Costco added the buttermilk biscuits to its bakery department at that price, giving shoppers a new option alongside other recent bakery items that have drawn attention.

10 biscuits for $6.99 works out to about 70 cents each before any taxes or local markups. For a bulk buyer, that makes the biscuit pack easy to compare with other bakery purchases, especially if the goal is to feed a group rather than buy a single snack.

Costco praise and pushback

One Costco influencer described the biscuits as buttery, fluffy, and tasting just like homemade. That is the strongest positive read in the mix, and it comes straight from the first reaction to the launch.

One commenter said the biscuits looked dryer than the desert. Another said they looked dry enough to use as car tires. A third said they looked like they could be used to scrub feet. The split reaction turned on appearance, not price, and one commenter drew the line bluntly: “If your biscuits are super moist, you ain't eating a biscuit.”

Costco uses beyond breakfast

One practical question for shoppers is what to do with a full package if the biscuits are bought first and judged later. The article points to several uses: sausage gravy, strawberry shortcake, the base of a breakfast casserole, bread pudding, or a quick cobbler layered with fruit filling.

That makes the launch less about a single serving and more about whether the bakery item fits into a breakfast or dessert routine. If the biscuits land with Costco shoppers the way the influencer suggests, the pack gives them a low-cost base for multiple meals; if the dry-look criticism wins out, the price will matter less than whether buyers trust the texture. Are Costco's buttermilk biscuits actually dry, and what ingredients do they contain?
