Costco shoppers are loading up their carts after spotting an Australian favorite on store shelves—and don’t worry, it’s not Vegemite.
At some locations, the beloved warehouse retailer is now carrying Tim Tams, the iconic chocolate-covered biscuit cookies that have been a staple in Australia for decades. While the treats have appeared in the store before, Costco is now offering them in a massive six-sleeve box containing 66 cookies, making it easier than ever for fans to stock up.
The cookies feature a chocolate cream filling sandwiched between two biscuits and coated in chocolate. For many shoppers, the arrival of the sweet treat at Costco has been cause for celebration.
Fans quickly flocked to Reddit to share their excitement.
“We had them last year then gone. Love them! Just finished my last box of 6 packs that were clearance at $4.97. Cost over $4 for a single pack at grocery store,” one shared.
Another noted, “They show up every once in a while. I’m in Illinois and have seen the on and off over the past year.”
“That’s about a four hour supply….” a third joked.
A fourth revealed, “I just bought these yesterday and I already downed two sleeves.”
If that’s convincing enough to send you on a Costco run, you’ll want to stay alert when it comes to anything associated with the retailer due to a new scam.

Recently, shoppers have been warned about a sophisticated scam targeting Costco customers through seemingly legitimate order confirmation emails. According to reports shared online, scammers are exploiting authentic-looking Costco communications by inserting fake customer service numbers into order details.
The goal is to trick recipients into calling fraudulent support lines, where scammers may attempt to gain access to computers, financial information, or online accounts.
However, many Costco members seem far more focused on cookies than cybercrime, and, rightfully so.
