- These are the 10 things you should be buying
at Costco this November.
With major deals in every category,
just in time for the holidays,
the first thing you should be buying at Costco
is a perfect companion for any road trip
you need to make this holiday season.
Also a great gift idea if you have kids in college.
It's a 50-piece safety emergency kit for $40.
I decided to buy this and try it
before I made the recommendation.
It's made by Bridgestone Tires,
comes with this really nice red storage case.
I should mention no brand, nor Costco,
is sponsoring this video in any way.
I laid out all of the products on my floor.
I was impressed by what I saw,
jumper cables, reflective gear,
a tire inflator pump, and an aluminum flashlight.
And while this is great for inclement weather,
so was this Duracell PowerSource gasless generator.
It is expensive at $499, but with this season,
and power outages or any potential emergency,
this might be something you wanna have on hand,
given that it is gasless.
You get four AC outlets and two USB ports
at over 1400 Watts, 1800 watt-peaks,
substantial power for a rechargeable product.
And speaking of power, just in time for all
of that gift unwrapping this gift-giving toy season,
the Kirkland batteries,
which are often rumored to just be a carbon copy
of a Duracell battery wrapped in a slightly different label,
is something you might want to consider
for your next Costco haul.
A 48-pack of the AAA batteries at $9.99.
Or a 48-pack of the AA Batteries
at the same price could do the trick.
In the number two spot, it's a product that I initially
thought was a bit of a gimmick.
And then I thought, well, I understand
how someone could use this.
And it's a waterproof Bluetooth speaker
that has a bottle opener built into it for $49.99.
Great gift idea.
But with the LED lights, a nice speaker size,
this is something you might want to grab
for a hunting or fishing trip.
My father-in-law is currently on a hunting trip as we speak,
it's deer season where we are located
and I thought this might've been great
to give him before he left.
Anyhow, it's too late.
So when he gets back, "Merry Christmas in advance."
The karaoke machine you see right here at 200 bucks
is likely a massive upgrade
from any karaoke machine you've ever had on hand.
This will stream audio from virtually any Bluetooth device.
It has two separate speakers in addition
to the bass, and a microphone,
and rated at 200 Watts per speaker.
At $200, this might be worth a look.
The gray patio heater you see right here at 140 bucks,
is a competitive price given that this
is a 46,000 BTU patio heating system.
Ideal for extending your enjoyment
of your patio this season.
And if you are fortunate enough to live in a climate
where you can enjoy your patio,
just through most of the winter,
this could be good to have on hand.
And just so I don't forget, I should mention
this is not my Costco Black Friday round-up.
I was very specific on what products I featured
in this video that are Black Friday safe,
as we approach those big occasions.
I promise I will feature all of the items
on your holiday wishlist or at least try to do that,
in a matter of weeks.
In the number three spot,
it's a trio of holiday decorative sets.
There's the baby nativity set for $34.99.
But if you want to move up from this set,
which looks actually quite cute,
to the highest-end nativity set I've ever seen sold
at Costco, for $94.99.
This 13-piece Kirkland branded offering is hand-painted.
The quality looks more reminiscent
over something you might see in a nice art gallery.
This'd be something you could pass on
from one generation to the next in your household.
This 16-piece snowflake LED decorative set for $19.99,
includes those twinkling lights,
which are outdoor compliant and also great for indoor use.
And considering you do get 16
of these snowflake string lights for under 20 bucks,
I'm sold on the price alone,
even though this is also great quality.
In the number four spot,
it's a huge selection of new Costco desserts,
that not only did I buy and try,
and enjoy from the trunk of my car,
but if you see that my tie is slanted,
I feel like I gained some weird neck fat
before I shot this video, which is what's going on,
but anyhow, it was worth it.
The Belgian chocolate peppermint bark for $9.99,
is brand new in the bakery.
Some of the best peppermint bark I've ever consumed.
I completely overindulged in this.
Rarely have I ever tasted anything better.
I almost lost my mind when I put this in my mouth.
Anyhow, the Junior's devil food chocolate cheesecake
at $16.99, was also impressive.
Well, it does seem like every month,
Costco has a new cheesecake flavor.
I like that they keep trying because I keep trying as well.
You'll all likely see that I did a really horrible job
slicing this cake, truly an anxious butchering job,
but that's because I wanted to try it so badly.
Very rich.
Not subtle.
Although I did very much enjoy it.
The white chocolate peppermint bark pretzels at $4.99,
are a fun snack and perhaps a lighter alternative
to the first dessert I just showed you on the list.
This is airy, but somehow still decadent.
The 10-count Haagen-Dazs ice cream peppermint squares
for $10.49, is a limited time only,
pre-Black Friday Costco grab.
That is a 10-pack of ice cream cookie squares
complimented by the overall joy you typically derive
from a Haagen-Dazs ice cream,
mixed in with all of this other cookie greatness.
I loved it.
And I chose to wash this down
with a 54-count cheesecake bite assortment.
I won't mention how many of these bites I sampled.
This $12.69 dessert which is handmade in Chicago,
a little bit nostalgic for me
because that's where I went to school and used to live.
I was actually in Chicago last week and this was better
than anything my wife and I enjoyed on our trip there.
The flavors include, original cheesecake brownie,
and raspberry.
I opted for the cheesecake brownie and it was superb.
Not one dessert as part of this round-up
was something I did not enjoy.
But by the time I got to these 120-count mini cream puffs
for $9.99, not only was I very full,
I did have a little bit of a stomach ache,
which I shared with my neck somehow.
These desserts are frozen,
but again, 120 mini cream puffs
for under 10 bucks is a bargain.
And as we move from desserts to tech...
You're all gonna be watching my neck now, I know it.
If you are enjoying this video,
please feel free to give it a thumbs up,

The 14-inch HP laptop that you see right here for 380 bucks,
is actually $120 off list price,
and a nice build for those of you that don't want to deal
with any potential stock issues on Black Friday.
You get eight gigs of RAM with that 14-inch screen,
a 256 gig solid-state drive, and an Intel processor.
Certainly not a bad price given the specs,
and the Costco concierge technical support
and second-year warranty is included on this $380 laptop.
The 13-inch Dell laptop you see right here for 700 bucks,
is one of the best builds I've seen leading
into the Black Friday quarter.
It's a whopping 16 gigs of RAM,
a substantial 512 gig solid-state drive.
And while I wish this was an i7 processor,
at this price, I will accept the i5.
This is $200 off the $900 list price.
The 86-inch LG TV you see right here for 1400 bucks,
is one of the best screen bangs for the buck
you will see this holiday season.
This has a native 120 Hertz refresh rates.
So this would work with the PlayStation 5
or the newer Xbox.
It also has Costco's award-winning warranty,
and a second-year warranty included
alongside the Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos audio.
And speaking of audio, whether it's to accompany
this 86-inch TV or finally give any other TV
in your home the upgrade it deserves,
the coveted Samsung soundbars
for the holiday season, are 230 bucks at Costco.
This is the series that features
the acoustic beam and the subwoofer.
It's $150 off the $380 list price, and again, $230.
While I was in the electronics section
at my local Costco, I noticed they now have this touchscreen
where rather than asking a store associate for a product,
you select from the screen
and print out the product that you'd like to buy,
and then you bring this to the cashier.
Well, this could make things considerably more efficient
with the whole self-checkout thing,
my question to you is, and please,
leave me a comment and let me know what you think,
does this touchscreen system appeal to you?
Or do you miss the days of actually
getting to speak to another human being?
In the number six spot, it's a whole category jam-packed
with trending culinary products.
This Cuisinart immersion blender
is likely something you've seen advertised
on the Home Shopping channel.
It's $39.99, and you can bet I wanted to buy and try this
before I recommended this high-powered blender,
basically trapped in a small compact form
with a bunch of accessories.
It does live up to the hype.
Well, I wish I could have made whipped cream
from the back of my car and tried it for you.
I bought a whole carton of whipping cream at Costco,
poured it into the included cup and blended away.
And if this video looks painful for you to watch,
I apologize, I was trying to shoot with one hand
and hold my phone with the other.
But it did blend up some delicious whipped cream
in record time.
The Sur La Table 13-quart air fryer for 80 bucks,
is a big brand name tied to a product a lot of people
are purchasing this holiday season.
This model includes a rotisserie basket.
And this model, as you can see,
is the one where the door folds down.
I really do like that.
The Cuisinart coffeemaker you see right here for 45 bucks,
this is a nice take on a traditional coffee maker.
Durable build, ready to serve the masses
this holiday season, in stainless steel.
This five-piece oven-to-table set for $19.99,
is one of my favorite grabs on the whole list.
You get a total of five beautifully designed pans
that you could put into your oven
and then bring to the table to serve from.
It includes three small pans and two big pans,
again, for under 20 bucks.
Ready for that Thanksgiving feast or any other holiday meal.
On the storage set front, while Pyrex storage options
are a regular Costco occurrence.
Take a look at these a special edition,
decorated eight-piece Pyrex storage sets that include,
Nightmare Before Christmas, Disney and Star Wars, $19.99.
And with the holidays, come more trash.
If you need a kitchen upgrade,
this 47-liter Kohler step trash can for 55 bucks,
is fingerprint-resistant and stainless steel.
Before I get to our product in the number seven spot
that's currently haunting my family,
I will mention, if there's any product you want me
to hunt down at a deal price
in time for the holidays or Christmas,
please send me a text, drop me a line,
and join my Insider Deal Guy texting club,
(440)-298-2181 is my number.
Now, for that product
that I kind of regret eating in my car,
it's the garlic pepper seasoned drumsticks.
They are back, at $2.49 per pound.
I did break my formula for this video,
because as you guys know,
I typically just enjoy desserts from my truck.
But I did want to enjoy it right away
because I could smell it
from up to a mile away in the store, and well, you know me.
My disclaimer is that while these are insanely delicious,
if you can smell something from a mile away
inside a Costco warehouse,
chances are that smell will linger in your car
for the next three to four days,
which includes when you are bringing your three-year-old
to nursery school at eight in the morning,
and you are all smelling garlic pepper drumsticks,
first thing in the morning.
Moving on, the Korean barbecue beef bulgogi,
at $6.99 per pound, is not only delicious,
it is very authentic.
If you've never sampled a beef bulgogi product from Costco,
we bought a bunch of these bulgogi potstickers
at Costco back in July, we've really stocked up.
They were delicious, and so are these.
I opted not to try the cranberry
and jalapeno meatballs for $13.99,
because I had no idea what to make of this combination.
It's likely really good quality.
And if this combination sounds appealing to you, good news,
there's also a cranberry and jalapeno dip for $7.89.
If I am missing out on some awesome flavor concoction,
please correct me in the comments.
The crab cake minis for $24.89, are a brand new take
on the larger crab cakes we saw a few months ago.
This is a 36-count box of mini crab cakes.
For this next round-up of products,
I'm particularly fired up.
If you do live in an area that attracts snow,
I've lived in the worst areas for snow,
from Fargo, North Dakota, I lived in Minnesota,
Buffalo, New York, Cleveland, Ohio, just for fun.
I know snow.
And the electric snowblowers
you see right here at 700 bucks,
are from the well-regarded Greenworks brand.
And with two rechargeable batteries,
this might be the perfect grab just before that snow hits.
The snowshoe kits for a much more attractive $70,
is great if you enjoy snowshoeing as an activity.
This was actually one of my favorite things
to do growing up.
And these are obviously no longer those upside down,
tennis racket type looking shoes.
At under 40 bucks, you'll find adult snow goggles.
And at under 30, kids snow goggles are also available.
And finally, also for under 40 bucks,
something that I decided to pick up
as it caught my daughter's eye.
It's a Luxe fur throw.
These are available in white, gray, and some other color
I'm not even going to attempt to describe.
Very soft and luxurious.
My next point is jam-packed with toys.
And let's begin with these kids jewelry kits
with storage cases.
These are 21 bucks, and I'm following up
with all of these toy requests that I collected
from parents and grandparents from last month,
asking me to expand on the best toy availability at Costco.
This jewelry kit includes a custom case.
And Costco is going retro with the three-pack
of Cabbage Patch Kids, available right now, $19.99.
There's also this three-pack Care Bear set for $21.
And for the Star Wars fan in your life,
this 20-inch Star Wars plush is $22.
My favorite toy though that I've seen on the whole list,
is the Mario Kart Hot Wheels track for 64 bucks.
I contemplated buying this for the studio
and just waiting for other kids and my daughter to grow up.
But anyhow, this pop-up tent with storage bag
is probably more likely something we would buy
in our household right now.
27 bucks, available in blue or pink.
Before I get to the bonus offerings,
as part of this round-up,
if you are in the market for a robo vac,
the Roomba iRobot i4 at $270, is something you might want
to consider purchasing at Costco this November,
considering this is the i4 at $270.
Best Buy is selling the i3 at $349 right now.
So this Costco exclusive is highly enticing.
Just in time for hanging the Christmas lights,
or tackling any other holiday decorative projects,
the Little Giant 15-foot ladder at 150 bucks,
is something many families might want to have on hand.
The power percussion massager which you see right here,
strangely enough is advertised
on the front page of Costco's November catalog.
I wanted to see why this was retailing for 80 bucks.
But it does come with six different attachments
and is of a higher quality than many
of the competing options you'll see for 49 bucks.
And at $200, this chest freezer for all of the holiday prep,
leftovers or just having disappearing groceries on hand,
in your garage or in your basement,
is something many families might also enjoy.
Now for a trio of bonus buys,
some of which come with an asterix,
the Breckenridge Christmas Ale mini kegs
where you score a two-pack of mini kegs at 1.32 gallons,
is beautifully packaged.
I'm flagging this because this is not brand new at Costco,
but it is available at a better lower price of $16.99.
For $1 less than that, you're gonna find a formal dresses
for girls sizes 2T through 12 at $15.99.
And finally, the sous vide cookers,
which are gaining a lot of steam, no pun intended,
and momentum this holiday season, are $150 at Costco.
Thank you so much for watching to this point,
given where we are in the video.
Don't forget to check out the other hottest holiday buys
from not just the warehouse clubs,
but your other favorite retailers,
all featured right here on the channel.
Bye-bye.
