Costco’s New Deli Find Makes Packed Lunches a Lot More Fun

Back-to-school season means it’s time to start thinking about lunches again, and Costco’s deli just made the daily routine a little more exciting. Instead of another ordinary sandwich, the retailer is putting a fun spin on a lunchtime classic with a new grab-and-go option that’s made for busy weekdays.

The new Pretzel Sandwiches come on soft pretzel buns and are generously layered with thick slices of deli chicken breast, sharp cheddar, Swiss cheese, crisp lettuce, and a packet of tangy Dijon mayo served on the side. Keeping the mayo separate not only lets everyone customize their sandwiches but also helps keep the pretzel buns fresher until you’re ready to eat.

Priced at about $13.94 for a six-pack, the sandwiches are available in Costco’s deli department under item #16913, though availability may vary by warehouse. That works out to roughly $2.32 per sandwich, a solid deal for a hearty, protein-packed lunch.

🥨 New Pretzel Sandwiches are now in the Costco deli! I couldn’t leave without trying these! They are loaded with thickly sliced deli chicken breast, sharp cheddar and Swiss cheese, plus a tangy Dijon mayo. I added a little extra mustard, and some pickles too it made them even better. You get 6 sandwiches for around $14, making these a great option for work lunches, school lunches, or a quick meal at home. #costco #costcofinds #costconewdeals #costcodeals #costcohaul
