- These are 10 more things
you should be buying at Costco this month.
Welcome back to the channel.
I'm The YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite.
I'm gonna bring you inside my local Costco
and expose the top tech bargains,
including Bose soundbars, Samsung tablets and laptops.
Watch me buy and try a $10 umbrella
that opens and then closes automatically.
I'll hunt down fall decor on a dime.
And if you are looking for Oktoberfest food offerings,
I've got you covered.
This video is not sponsored in any way.
If you like this content,
please feel free to give this video a thumbs-up.
It helps with my slowly maturing self-esteem.
The first thing you should be buying at Costco this month
is a duo of air fryers,
and the second one is essentially a multi-cooker
which I'll get to in a moment.
The six-quart air fryer you see right here is 49.99.
It's from Gourmia. It's six quarts, well-made.
The one I tested from Aldi
in my video upload earlier this week
was a three-quart compared to this one.
This 12-quart air fryer pro is a seven-in-one for 99 bucks.
It's $50 more, has a front-loading rotisserie option.
It's also a dehydrator, a broiler, a roaster.
It obviously reheats in addition to baking
and being just an all-around awesome 12-quart air fryer.
This comes with many accessories, including the trays.
It's great for any serious
or more experienced air-frying chef.
I was both intrigued and puzzled by this next product.
It's a 12-pack of color-changing cups for 11.99,
less than a buck a cup.
As a parent, I figured this was great for kids.
Once you pour a cold liquid into the cup, it changes colors.
I bought it home on the premise we could motivate
my three-year-old to drink and consume more liquid.
The set includes blue, orange, red,
and a transparent offering.
I tried it out, I put ice in the cup,
and they do change colors.
But I was confused by the transparent one.
The clear cup doesn't really change colors at all.
So my question to you guys: Am I missing something?
Why would you have a color-changing transparent cup?
It's already sparkly. It doesn't do anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Please leave me a comment as this product made me sad.
For happier times, this eight-piece electric wine opener kit
is 30 bucks, the Rabbit brand, which is a top manufacturer.
It comes with an opener, an aerator/pourer,
a preserver, two-stoppers, a foil cutter, a drip collar,
and the charging base,
just a top electric wine opener on its own.
It's around 30 bucks, this.
You get all the other accessories.
The mortar and pestle that you see right here for 16.99,
another great Costco find this month.
It's ideal for guac, dry rubs, making your own pesto,
very high quality, heavy-duty, hardcore.
And the salad spinner that you see right here for $19.97
is not necessarily a new product,
but it does drift in and out of stock.
So it is back in stock and top-rated.
In the number two spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month:
back-to-school tech or just otherwise awesome home tech
beginning with the 15.6-inch LG Gram Laptop
you see right here.
It's $800 which takes into account a $200 discount,
16 gigs of RAM, 512-gig solid state drive,
and a solid i5 processor.
The 17-inch LG Gram Laptop that you see right here for 1,249
takes into account a $250 discount.
This one is fully loaded with an i7 Intel processor,
16 gigs of RAM as well, and a 512-gig solid state drive.
If you're in the market for a soundbar,
this one from Bose includes the wall mount
and a really nice high-end-looking remote.
It's $180, but I am gonna put this price into perspective
with a comparison in a moment.
Costco is selling this brand new for 179.99.
Just to put that price into perspective,
Amazon is also selling it for 179.99
except the model Amazon is featuring is renewed.
So the one that I'm showing you,
brand new, same price, better bet at Costco.
On the tablet front
and beautifully timed with back to school,
you can score the Samsung S6 Lite Tablet
with a cover and a pen for 379.99.
To put the $380 price into perspective at Costco,
Amazon has the exact same offering,
also including the cover and the pen,
except it's a little bit more expensive on Amazon,
and you could wait up to a month
to have this delivered to you
based on the Prime shipping speeds
and just how highly in demand this is.
The 10.4-inch Samsung A7 Tablet with a 64-gig memory card
is 189 at Costco
and 240 bucks for the exact same thing on Amazon.
And the least expensive
of the Samsung tablets on sale right now at Costco
is the A7 Lite Tablet with a cover for 169.99.
To give context to the $169 price with the cover at Costco,
the same tablet without the cover is 159 at Best Buy.
So you definitely have the advantage,
assuming you want the much more expensive cover
included with the A7 Lite Tablet
and buying it for $10 more at Costco.
In the number three spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month:
a hunting case for 38.99 just in time for hunting season,
really high-quality camel print on the case,
multiple pockets, high-end straps.
My father-in-law is an avid deer hunter,
and my three-year-old has been exposed to deer meat
to the point where we'll be at a family diner,
or, really, anywhere with a served food,
and my daughter will demand deer meat from the restaurant
for just a regular family dinner.
It's always awkward and slightly embarrassing,
but she does have adult taste buds.
The Stealth Camera you see right here for 99.99,
a nice HD trail camera kit, attaches to trees,
hopefully does what you need it to do for under 100 bucks.
The auto-umbrella you see right here for 9.99
is something I was so intrigued by conceptually
that I bought it and brought it home.
We all know umbrellas can open on their own,
but they don't typically close automatically.
So to my knowledge,
there's no batteries, nothing required for what I bought.
It seems to work with pneumatics, or it's mechanical.
Either way, it will open on its own.
And then if you want it to close down on its own,
all you have to do is press a button.
The only downside
is you do need to click it back into its base,
but it's an ingenious concept for 9.99.
I wish all umbrellas would close on their own
just like this one does.
In the number four spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month:
Oktoberfest food offerings.
Let's begin with the pork schnitzel, $5.69 per pound.
I love this braised mushroom sauce,
that breaded schnitzel awesomeness,
microwavable, ready in minutes.
Actually, now that I've realized,
this is the only October food fest I'm including.
There's a beer thing which I'll get to in a moment,
but I got carried away, so let's go talk about seafood.
The seafood salad you see right here, $12.99.
I am a big fan of seafood.
This is legit
like someone just dipped a bucket into the ocean
and pulled up whatever they could grab with it.
Now that I think about it, that sounds very unappetizing.
But if you do like little squids, octopus,
and what you can see in that robust tub,
$12.99 going a long way for you.
The Extra Jumbo Pitted Kalamata Olives, $6.79,
extra awesome, extra jumbo,
and I will get to some great dessert offerings,
some of which I consumed in my car in a few moments.
In the number five spot of what you should be buying
at Costco this month: ping pong.
I don't think I've ever made a consumer recommendation,
just look at a camera and said ping pong.
But the $299 ping pong table you see right here
is actually a very good price
when I show you what the same thing sells for elsewhere.
You do need to be passionate about ping pong
or keeping your kids entertained
inside for the fall or winter
and exposing them to ping pong
for you to spend $300 on a high-quality ping pong table.
But this does include two rackets, six balls, the net,
and a storage system, 299.97.
So if I were to contrast the Costco price
with other offerings from DICK'S Sporting Goods
just as an example,
you'll see that $300 is very good for what you get.
And while some of the least expensive solid top-sellers
on DICK'S are around 400 bucks,
I did not realize ping pong tables could range
all the way from there up to 2,500 bucks.
Just to put the $299 price into perspective,
the Viper Tennis Table that you see right here for 200 bucks
is just a table covering.
It doesn't have the legs or any of the storage options.
So perhaps this is something you might wanna consider.
If your kids are interested in sports
that don't involve ping pong,
any type of after-school activity,
if they're on the go
and the clothing is more dirty than usual,
the fabric hampers with lids
that are 20 bucks this month at Costco,
ideal for anyone that needs more laundry storage.
They have that in-style, trendy look.
And speaking of trendy,
the 30-inch fall-themed harvest wreath
that you see right here for 39.99
is similar to something you'd see at Home Goods
or from a really high-end store
selling outdoor faux flowered wreaths.
This one looks very nice,
and I love the size given the price.
In the number six spot,
three products to help around your home
before I get to those delicious desserts:
the eight-pack of Scotch Shipping Tape.
Doesn't sound too exciting at a first mention.
But for 24.49 with gift-giving and return season
and all the boxing backup that I need to do
for many of the items I buy and test,
this is not only great for that,
but if you have kids moving off to college, dorm rooms,
any type of fall cleaning, DIY projects, getting organized.
I never thought I would be so passionate
about a shipping tape sale.
The four AC port, 50-reel
retractable, heavy-duty power management system
that you see right here for 49.99
is the first time I've actually seen this at Costco.
I did feature it as a Sam's Club roundup a while ago.
It's heavy-duty, great for the garage, for tools.
It has four AC outlets,
you get a secondary on and off switch,
great for any project around the house.
And speaking of your home,
if you have a basement that is collecting moisture,
or just my parents' basement on a regular basis,
Danby humidifiers are very well-made,
and 135 for this one gets you a two-year warranty
which includes the pump.
It has an automatic room humidity control.
And if you are interested, this will eliminate
6.2 gallons of moisture per 24-hour period.
In the number seven spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month:
a duo of delectable desserts,
and one of them is double-crusted,
the double-crust apple pie, $9.99.
If you are a frequent Costco shopper,
this has moved from the bakery to the endcaps.
That tells me that there's either a high amount
of popularity tied to this product, it being seasonal,
or there's a slightly different recipe involved
and they're trying to distinguish it.
Either way, it's a beautiful fall feature.
It looks absolutely delicious. I will buy this.
The tuxedo chocolate mousse cake
is something that not only did I buy,
but I decided I would consume this in my car, $15.99.
This is not necessarily a brand new item,
but I like to try something new every video.
And some of you commented in my prior videos
that I should try this, so I did.
Creamy, rich.
And if you've wondered
how do you consume hardcore cakes in your car?
I just recommend a stash of napkins
in your glove compartment,
and you are good to go.
In the number eight spot
of what you should buy at Costco this month
before I get to a couple of clothing items:
handsome surprises.
The mini fire extinguishers at $13.99
are that ideal kitchen or pantry addition
that you hope you never need to use.
10-year warranty, remove the pin, squeeze,
great for a small kitchen fire you hopefully never encounter
or an electrical fire.
Just something you might wanna have on hand,
which is an equally applicable tagline
to the Duracell Lantern Two-Pack
that you see right here at 19.99.
I featured these once when they first appeared
during the winter storm season rush.
But this is a great product to have on hand
that has returned to Costco.
Unlike some of the competing ones
you might see at slightly lower prices sold on Amazon
filled with these double and triple A batteries,
these are a bit more hardcore.
They are powered by four D batteries.
The batteries are not included, just letting you know.
These will charge your smartphone as well.
They've got a red SOS light
which is rare to see on lanterns at this price.
And, again, for that two-pack,
they're also extremely bright.
In the number nine spot of what you should be,
I just look surprised that this is number nine,
this video is just flying by
kind of like the changing seasons.
Anyhow, onto the comfiest part of this video,
the hooded loungers for $14.99 are awesome.
If you're going for a Little Red Riding look
this fall or winter,
or if you've ever wanted a snuggie
but not necessarily a snuggie,
and you wanted to buy it at Costco for 14.99,
this is for you.
At my local Costco, it's available
in this reddish maroon, a bluish teal, and a purple.
I would not be ashamed to wear that
on my next Costco shopping spree
or, depending on the family member,
wear this to someone's birthday,
at least for my uncle, long story.
But anyhow, the plush blankets
you see right here available in twin or queen,
12.99 for the twin, 15 bucks for the queen, extremely soft.
Actually, one of the softest blankets I've felt.
Many color options, excellent price
given how plush these are and the size options.
If you are looking for something
with a bit more of a holiday theme or a Christmas vibe,
the patterned plush blankets for 16.99
seem a bit more luxurious,
also an awesome office gift
or one of those secret Santa gifting sessions.
In the number 10 spot
before I get to two solid bonuses before we say goodbye,
the 24-pack of Oktoberfest beer for 25.99
is ideal if you love beer
and if you, more importantly, love German beer.
This is more similar
to what you would find sold at an Oktoberfest tent.
There's actually a backstory to these beers
and how they have made their way on the circuit,
but you could pair this with the schnitzel I showcased
from point four on my video
if you wanted to do a schnitzel and beer pairing menu.
With absolutely no segue to my next product,
the touchscreen gloves are 12.99 or 16.99
with winter approaching are hot commodities.
Actually, the thinner gloves for 12.99
are more warm than hot.
The 12.99 ones are touchscreen gloves
for crisp dog-walking in the morning or at night,
or just making your way through the fall weather,
or jogging which I've never actually done in my life.
I do not know how to jog nor do I really want to.
The $17 touchscreen gloves, though,
are more ski or snowboard-friendly.
They are a harder-core winter glove.
And for $17, given that these are touchscreen
and they look the way they do, I was impressed.
Now, hopefully, I'll impress you
with a couple of final bonus offerings:
the plant variety from foliage to bushes, indoor options,
and some beautiful planters.
The white vase or vase,
depending on how you want me to pronounce that word today,
are these beautiful planters that you typically see
at Target on those modern wood stilts
are now available at Costco for a few dollars less.
The plant varieties range from 15 bucks to 45.
And I'll also remind you that Costco is constantly revamping
its Halloween costume collection for both boys and girls.
There are firefighter costumes, army-themed costumes,
pirates, aliens, astronauts,
and I did mention some of the Disney and Marvel offerings
in a prior video.
If you guys are interested, my three-year-old daughter
wants to be the "Frozen" book for Halloween.
Not Elsa, but the book,
like she wants to go dress as a book that says Frozen on it.
We're still trying to work with her
on how we can handle this Halloween request,
but that is the latest for those of you that wanted
to know more slightly useless personal information.
Thank you so much for watching.
If you've made it this far into the video,
I owe you, I appreciate it.
Please feel free to give this video a thumbs-up
if you liked it.

Have a great rest of your week. Bye-bye.
