ENJOY EASTER
5 April
Easter falls in early April this year, and Costco warehouses have plenty of food for the occasion. Don’ t forget to pick up a tray of Kirkland Signature Hot Cross Buns( Item 27822) – they’ re just right for breakfast or teatime. A classic activity that combines food and fun is an Easter egg hunt. This popular event for the young and young at heart has been an Easter tradition for centuries – it’ s believed to have originated in 16th-century Germany. In modern days, plenty still enjoy the thrill of discovery, with hunts involving plastic, real or chocolate eggs popular in many parts of the world. Bring a personal touch to yours by adding craft to the activity: get children to decorate baskets with stickers or ribbons before embarking on the search or make up some fun rhymes and write them on paper to pass out as clues to the location of eggs. Costco warehouses have plenty of treats to fill your Easter basket, including Cadbury Hollow Hunting Eggs 15-pack( Item 253412).
EARTH DAY
22 April
Studies estimate that by 2050 the plastic waste in the ocean will outweigh fish. Which means there’ s no better time to draw attention to Earth Day, an event that raises awareness about environmental issues. In 2026, one of the major concerns is Planet vs Plastics, making it a great time to look at your day-to-day routines and identify where to reduce plastic consumption. At Costco, we are continually looking for ways to lessen the impact our warehouse operations have on the environment, including by recycling and waste collection, as well as participating in voluntary team activities such as tree planting.
RAMADAN READY
19 February – 20 March
At this time of year, Muslims around the world observe the 30-day period of fasting and reflection known as Ramadan. During this time, those practising the faith abstain from eating from sunrise each day then break their fast with a meal known as iftar at sunset. This meal traditionally starts with dates followed by a main dish, often enjoyed with friends or family. Head to Costco warehouses for a range of fresh and frozen items, including Organic Pitted Medjool Dates 680g( Item 172601) and Katoomba Roti 30-pack, 1.95kg( Item 10963), that can be used to create an iftar feast.
