Brie isn’t the only French cheese making an appearance at Costco! You can also snag a fantastic Boursin variety pack.

For under $10, you get two 5.3-ounce Garlic and Fine Herbs flavors and one Shallot and Chive flavor. Considering a single box of the Garlic and Fine Herbs can set you back $5.79 at other stores, this is a seriously good deal.

10. Bonne Maman Four Fruits Preserves

Price: $10.99

What makes this “jelly” uniquely French? Unlike many other jams, this beloved blend is crafted right in France!

A delightful mix of cherries, raspberries, red currants, and strawberries gives this 36-ounce jar of non-GMO, gluten-free fruit spread a wonderfully fresh and zesty flavor. To get this quantity elsewhere, you’d likely pay over $17 for smaller jars.

11. Kirkland Signature Fruit and Cheese Tray
