- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Costco this October, 2023.
And there's a huge selection of brand new deals
for every corner of your home.
In the first spot,
as I predicted and recently warned you to wait,
this 7-quart Gourmia air fryer
is at $40 until October 22nd.
This is an exceptionally low price,
and I don't foresee this dropping any lower
before Christmas.
Jam-packed with nostalgia and value,
given the $80 price,
for this Atari retro video game system
that comes preloaded with 200 games,
including Asteroids,
alongside two wireless joystick controllers.
This 21-cubic-foot top mount fridge at $600
goes back so deep
I could fit my whole arm inside it.
There are many different compartments.
It might be a lovely basement, garage,
or primary refrigerator for the price.
In the number two spot it's almost the season
for hosting and unexpected visitors,
and these upholstered wood folding chairs at $40
won't make any extra guests feel like an afterthought.
It's a much more premium chair
that one would hopefully have on hand
for the years and occasions to come.
At $100 off this Tresanti adjustable-height seat
stand desk at $200 until October 22nd
is one of the sleekest desks I've seen.
This HeatDish Tilt parabolic heater at $80
is a rather intense-sounding product description.
This might work well in a garage,
and if you need a cozy heated companion for indoors,
this 50x60-inch heated throw at $30
has adjustable heat levels
with a couple of nice color options.
In the number three spot
it's a $20 product I have never before seen at Costco,
and it's this electric s'mores maker from Sharper Image
with four skewers.
Aldi sells a knockoff version for $35,
so this at $20 is a further testament to the power
of pricing at Costco.
With hesitation due to the price,
I reluctantly purchased this
six-piece HexClad sauce pan set at $300
after observing an in-store demo that blew my mind.
They are infrared compatible,
which is also the case for this eight-quart stainless steel
stock pot at $30
with an easy-to-drain lip,
perfectly timed for the season.
This modern Beast blending system
comprised of Trident Plastic at $150
is extremely different
in terms of what other blenders look like.
It is marketed as a best-in-class system.
I have not yet tested this.
This ThermoPro cooking thermometer bundle at $30
has a 500-foot range,
great for precise cooking, indoors or out,
but if you do live in a colder climate like we do,
you can now grill any month,
and monitor the progress from inside instead of freezing.
The extremely popular Bodum double wall mugs
are the focus of this four-pack
at an approachable $20 price.
This four-pack of oversized mugs at $17
with a tan or blue color option
could handle anything from soup
to the amount of coffee people think I consume
before shooting a YouTube video,
even though I assure you that's not the case,
I'm even worse when I consume caffeine.
By the way, if you are enjoying this video,
feel free to give it a thumbs up
as that really helps my channel.
Point four begins with some beloved bark.
And this brand new cranberry almond bark at $10
is something Costco appears to be capitalizing upon,
given the popularity of the peppermint bark
they typically offer closer to Christmas.
With this new fall flavor, it's fantastic.
These new corn muffins at $10
for a two-pack are the sweeter,
recognizable flavor of your typical corn muffin.
If you have sampled one before,
they are right on the mark.
I've enjoyed many Tate's Bake Shop cookies over the years,
and this 21-ounce holiday variety pack at $11
includes ginger snap cookies,
salted caramel,
and cinnamon brown sugar,
which I opted for.
It does look plain,
but I assure you it is bold in flavor.
These pumpkin madeleines at $10
are individually wrapped
within the generously-sized box.
It is not too heavy on the pumpkin flavor,
which in the case of the pumpkin spice flavor
for this low-fat $10,
it's a bit more pronounced,
and further enhanced with the white chocolate shavings
and the cream cheese icing.
It is rather magical if I do say so myself.
This four-pack of banana bread and butterscotch lava cake
at $11 just kind of sounds like someone made a list
of their favorite desserts,
and concocted this molten mishmash.
I love the keepsake glass cup,
so I can one day reflect on the good old days
for that time I tried this dessert
from the truck of my car.
The organic coconut bites right here at $9
were a favorite for my family
when we enjoyed them earlier this year,
so I am most pleased to see their return.
This 75-pack of almond toffee bites at $19
is on the expensive side,
but they only come around at Costco once per year,
so maybe they are worth the roughly 25 cents per piece.
For anyone watching who loves toffee.
Before I reveal a way
to prolong the enjoyment of your backyard
in the number five spot,
it's a brand new product from Shark.
This Matrix Robo Vac at $400
has a 30-day dust bin capacity.
This carpet expert deep cleaner at $250 competes
with some of the other BISSELL carpet stain removers,
and apparently the Shark has the strongest suction
for the price.
It does detach into a handheld version,
and if you can't clean your rugs,
and you just need to replace them,
this 30x40-inch microfiber mat at $12
is designed to trap mud and dirt.
It could pair well if you have a home with pets,
and it felt rather plush.
And to continue that holi vibe,
this eight-pack of holiday kitchen towels at $15
works out to around $1.87 per towel,
which is good based on how thick these happen to be.
The holiday soap four-pack right here at $12
includes refillable soap dispensers,
prefilled with a very high quality soap
with some great fragrances,
and at more than 21.5 fluid ounces each,
this is a fantastic value.
In the number six spot
to extend the enjoyment of your backyard, or patio,
there's so little precious time left
in my neck of the woods.
This Solo Stove Bonfire at $330
could be what you need if your budget permits.
This outdoor LED coach light at $50
features dust-till-dawn technology,
which is just fancy marketing speech for
what's essentially a light sensor.
This however, had a very grand appearance in store,
and I now want one.
And while we are on the topic of lighting,
the 100 count of large bulb multicolor LED
indoor/outdoor lights right here at $23
are flicker free,
and they remain lit even if one bulb stops functioning.
For smaller bulbs,
this 200-count pack of mini LED white lights cost $18.
And if you prefer lights
where you can control the warmth or the hue,
this 200-count pack of mini dual color lights is $25.
I'm not so hot on the price
for this jumpstart or power bank at $80,
as you are likely overpaying due to the Michelin branding.
I'll link to a less expensive option below.
From one tire brand to another.
This 52-piece emergency kit at $45 from Bridgestone
includes a tire inflator,
jumper cables,
and warning triangles,
alongside the more anticipated accessories.
And speaking of safety,
this three-pack of Arlo battery cameras
includes three individualized solar panels
at $280 with rechargeable batteries,
color night vision, and 2K quality,
making this a competitive price.
In the number seven spot,
and appropriately timed with Halloween,
this pumpkin and bat-shaped ravioli
at $10 is enticing,
but if you really want to scare
or confuse your guests,
I recommend freezing this,
and then serving it on Valentine's Day
when no one is expecting it.
Equally enjoyable any time of the year,
the Costco bakery-prepared ravioli lasagna
with beef at $5 per pound
looks good.
This meatloaf with Yukon Gold potatoes
at $3.99 per pound
would be a better per-pound price
if it was just the meatloaf,
and the mashed potatoes were weighed and calculated
at a separate per-pound price,
but anyhow, it's delicious.
I presented an audible wish
in my last Costco video,
begging for the return of the beef chili with beans,
and my mouth did win the lottery today
thanks to this happy culinary encore,
a six-pack of french onion soups at $12
has a rather low number of calories,
despite how delicious these taste.
And while this is clearly not a health channel,
I was still surprised.
This two-pack of Italian sausage gumbo soup at $14
is likely something I will try.
This two-pack of green chile chicken Mexican-inspired soup
at $12 looks lovely.
This two-count of Prohibition special fully-loaded pizzas
at $15.49 looks more appetizing
than our most recent attempt to enjoy a frozen pizza
from a different retailer.
This 2.6-pound box of vegetable tempura at $13
is both oven or air fryer-ready.
And I have never before seen a 12-ounce dried mushroom mix
at Costco for $15.
Believe it or not,
this is a competitive price.
You would pay that for a much smaller quantity
at your typical grocery specialty store.
I'll have awesome products for your car in a moment,
but in the number eight spot
these ladies Pendleton rain jackets at $55
look like a winner between the brightness
and the unique internal lining.
These ladies Kirkland's fleece zip jackets at $20
also have a trio of color options,
and they appear very comfortable.
I love these mens 32-degrees full zip jackets at $20
with that zipper that goes right on up to your neck.
It's key to fall warmth based on my experience.
The mens Calvin Klein quilted jackets right here at $40
are decently priced.
Costco has decided that any man
that wears Kirkland mens suede slippers
should only have this single-sole gray color option
at $30.
That's fine.
While ladies slippers at $14,
with the so-called temperature-regulating design,
have two color options.
And these ladies Joan of Arc boots at $165 are pricey,
but I am told capable of providing
a tremendous level of warmth,
says a shopper named Carol
who saw me staring at these quizzically.
I no longer stare quizzically at what I once called
Easter egg makeup sponges.
I have since learned from my wife
that this is a 14-piece makeup blending kit.
It's $10.
This nine-piece set of makeup erasers at $20
removes makeup without the use of chemicals.
I cannot wrap my head around the $130 price
of this Homedics aroma diffuser.
It can apparently really jam-pack some fragrance
into your home,
but I think I'll just stick with a Glade plugin.
But for those who want such a thing,
I support you.
And perfect for those upcoming times of the year
where many of us are cooped up inside,
this ultrasonic cool mist humidifier
handles more than 400 square feet,
and at $70 I love the thin profile.
For the next point on my list,
and for any fellow winter drivers,
I recently tested an Amazon dupe
of this Frostblocker with mirror covers at $18.
The Costco version is less expensive
than what I experienced,
and it offers mirror protection
with an extra large strap for oversized vehicles.
So this is definitely the better buy.
Speaking of large and in charge,
this 58-inch Glacier snow brush
with scraper at $16
has just returned for the upcoming season.
It features a solid heavy-duty ice scraper.
This 80-volt Greenworks snowblower at $750
is a 22-inch model with two batteries.
A nearly identical version retails on Best Buy
for $50 more with only one battery.
This Greenworks 80-volt blower at $230
is extremely powerful,
with a combined eight-year product guarantee.
My wife wore these Snow Trax winter traction devices
at $13 last winter,
when our now 15-month-old was just a little baby,
and she said it made a huge difference
pushing a stroller in the snow and ice.
And while you might be used to seeing
these 50-inch snow sleds with handles at $18,
I can say they are marketed every year by Tom Cruise,
or this man on the package
who is likely a sibling
or distant relative of Tom Cruise
based on his resemblance.
Before we get to the bonus section
for the next point on my list,
if you can't wait until Black Friday,
and you simply need a TV right now for football season,
this Samsung 70-inch TV at $580
includes a two-year warranty.
Although we will see lower prices next month.
I was surprised to see this unlocked iPhone 14 Pro Max
for $1,000,
which is just a bit cheaper than other retail prices.
But I would 100% wait for Black Friday
where there will be better iPhone promotions.
If you already scored an iPhone 15,
and you feel surprised by the USB-C charge port,
this two-pack of Anker USB-C cables at $20
could come in handy if you need to put a pair into the car.
They also work well with Android devices, of course.
This Nintendo Switch OLED bundle at $380
is part of a corporate clearance
signified by the 97-cent ending on the price tag.
This bundle includes the console, a case,
a 128GB Micro SD card,
and a 12-month family membership for Nintendo Store.
This Pac-Man full-sized arcade game at $600
is hardly an essential.
I'm not calling this a must buy,
but I am flagging it as it does tie into gaming.
It has a 19-inch LCD screen,
it incorporates 14 games,
and is a legit way
to relive your arcade glory days.
If you have an unlimited budget,
this Star Wars virtual pinball set at $700
could delight a collector,
or serve as an ultimate gift.
But my little Costco hack this month is,
since they are already set up at many Costco warehouses,
you can just go to Costco,
play the game for free,
take your photos,
and call it a day.
And to build upon that full-sized gaming theme
at a slightly more affordable price,
this bumper car with all kinds of crazy lights
at $260 was a huge hit
when it hit store shelves
around this time last year.
Our bonus section begins with the ultimate coffee table book
for any Costco lover.
This Joy of Costco book at $20
would make a wonderful gift later on in the season,
but I do expect it will sell out quickly.
So if you are considering it,
I'd make your move.
You could always pair that coffee table book
with these new modern Kirkland unisex logo crew necks
at $20.
I bought one in gray,
and this is a great place to reaffirm this video
is not sponsored by Costco.
Don't forget Costco has jumbo pumpkins
for carving or decor needs.
And also the Halloween candy,
if you've not yet stocked up,
has far superior pricing
to any retailer based on the quantity you get
for the price at Costco.
This two-pack of beanies
with a rechargeable head light at $30
provides an extra layer of safety
thanks to increasing your visibility
and what you can see,
while providing warmth.
And by the way, this two-pack of Tramontina Dutch ovens
at $60 is still available for me locally.
I did feature it last month,
but I'm worried they will sell out.
They're great four family gatherings,
which is why I am classifying them as a bonus.
I classify you all as part of my family.
Thank you so much for watching.
I love you, bye-bye.
