As a Costco employee of 20 years, I love being able to scan the shelves for all the best new items that come in.
This month, the warehouse is stocked with everything from outdoor essentials and beach-ready finds to delicious Kirkland Signature-branded products.
Here are eight items that caught my eye.
I’m excited to try the Kirkland Signature sparkling energy drinks.
One of my favorite things about shopping at Costco is that the store has a great selection of house-brand Kirkland Signature items, including sparkling energy drinks.
Each 12-ounce can contains 200 milligrams of caffeine, making them the perfect pick-me-up for a long day. The variety pack comes with three flavors, including tropical, orange, and peach.
The Essenza citronella candles are both beautiful and practical.
Summer is just around the corner, which means outdoor gatherings will be popping up on my calendar again. Unfortunately, though, one of the downsides to spending time outside is fending off the bugs.
Luckily, the Essenza outdoor citronella candles are here to help. Each box comes with two large lemongrass-eucalyptus-scented candles in beautiful white cement containers.
Plus, each candle can burn for up to 43 hours, making these a worthy investment for the season.
Meal prep is simple with the Chipotle-seasoned chicken from Costco.
Whether you like to meal prep or are just looking for a quick dinner option, I recommend buying a pack of the precooked Chipotle-seasoned chicken from Costco.
It’s great for salads, rice bowls, tacos, and so much more.
I was excited to find the ELF Power Grip primer on display.
This month, Costco is carrying the popular ELF Power Grip primer, which is said to help makeup stay on longer. It also provides a dewy finish, giving skin a nice hydrated glow.
Each bundle comes with a full-size version of the product, as well as a travel-size container.
This 2-in-1 towel and tote bag makes beach days easy.
If you’ll be heading to the beach or pool this summer, I highly recommend checking out the innovative Himatsingka America 2-in-1 towel and tote bags at Costco.
These 100% cotton bags easily fold out into a full-size beach towel. They’re machine washable and come in a variety of vibrant colors and patterns.
There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding the bakery’s new sourdough bread bowls.
The Costco bakery has a new product that shoppers seem excited about: sourdough bread bowls.
Each bag comes with four bowls ready to be filled with soups, dips, chilli, and much more. I like to heat them in the air fryer for an even crispier texture.
Elevate your workouts with the Nautilus weighted vest.
Whether you’re going for a walk or doing exercises at the gym, a weighted vest can help make workouts more challenging.
The Nautilus vest weighs 12 pounds, and according to the packaging, can help increase the number of calories burned while exercising. It’s also adjustable and comes with a storage pocket for your cell phone.
The Kirkland Signature beef and broccoli looks delicious.
Costco is known for its great selection of premade meals, and the newest addition to the lineup is the beef and broccoli.
Each container comes with beef, broccoli, yakisoba noodles, and stir fry sauce, and is easy to heat up in a frying pan.
