- These are the top 10 things you should be buying
at Costco this October.
Welcome back to the channel.
I'm the YouTube Deal Guy, Matt Granite,
and this could be my best Costco video yet.
From huge tech deals I'll hunt down for you,
including robo vacs and a new way to secure your valuables.
I will buy and try the products, including a heated throw,
the largest collection of desserts I've ever consumed
from the trunk of my car.
And that's just the beginning.
I'll bring you inside my local Costco.
This video is not sponsored in any way.
In the first spot,
I don't even think I took a breath there.
The top way to secure your valuables,
being sold at Costco right now,
goes far beyond a typical safe.
This is a weatherproof lockbox.
It's 100 bucks and a top way to protect your valuables.
If you are in an RV, a trailer, a boat,
if you're traveling anywhere,
it's weatherproof, it's water-resistant.
I took it right out of the box as you can see right here.
Just before I secure my passports
and the limited amount of cash
I didn't spend at Costco today,
you'll notice I do have it plugged in.
This is an initial setup.
Afterwards, this product will retain the charge
to operate the keypad.
It also has a manual key override
and it is completely airtight.
It also floats.
I love this.
The Chamberlain myQ garage door opener you see right here
with wifi and video is very different
from some of the other models you'll see, sold for 60 bucks.
This is a $300 full-blown garage door opener.
It includes a full opening mechanism in the track,
plus an HD 1080p camera built in.
So this corresponds with an app,
it signals if there's motion detected.
It's great if garage theft is common in your area.
But because the camera's so inconspicuous,
you can actually control your garage door
from anywhere in the world.
And also see if there's anyone entering
from the garage into your house.
Take a look at the two-pack emergency roadside torch
and multi-tool I picked up for $19.99.
Again, 20 bucks gets you two.
This includes a seatbelt cutter, window breaker,
and this really bright LED flashlight.
I tested this in my office
where I was able to get it completely pitch dark.
You can see just how well this illuminates the room.
It has a searchlight, an SOS light
so you could be visible to emergency responders.
And it fits perfectly into a glove box.
In the number two spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month,
I'm gonna tackle some tech,
(hand patting stomach)
and then we'll get to the desserts.
The first item is a Sonos wifi soundbar for 369 bucks.
At the time I'm recording this video,
it's being sold everywhere else for $399 or more,
including where you can see it as featured at Walmart
for 30 bucks more than Costco.
Incredible sound, top brand.
I am definitely in favor of this.
If you do need to boost the audio in your family room
or living area, the floodlight cam with motion sensor
you see right here for 100 bucks.
No subscription required.
It's motion activated.
It's an outdoor floodlight with security camera.
This is substantially less expensive
than a blink or ring security system.
The Samsung 34-inch wide monitor
you see right here for $249.97.
That asterix on the price denotes
that this is going to be available only for a limited time
and the stock will not be replenished.
This is a huge price drop on the 34-inch ultra wide monitor.
Just to put the price into perspective,
on Samsung's own site where they feature it
on sale for $369, it's almost $100 less at Costco.
Widescreen monitors are great
for increasing your screen real estate
without having to buy a second monitor.
Even Amazon sells it for $367,
so you are far ahead at Costco.
On the 32-inch monitor you see right here from LG,
the $250 price is also great.
This is a giant office-ready monitor.
So it's great if you need your monitor to double as a TV,
particularly for a dorm room or a student apartment
where you just have space for a TV or a monitor,
this could fulfill both.
Best Buy has this on sale for 300 bucks.
Costco is $50 cheaper than Best Buy.
If you are looking to give your home wifi network
the boost it deserves,
the extremely well-rated Nighthawk wifi mesh system
you see right here for 170 bucks is an amazing solution
for 4,500 square feet of reliable, non-buffering,
strong wifi in a very large home or home office.
Amazon selling it right now for 210 bucks.
The price at Costco is $169.99.
In the number three spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month,
a record number of desserts
that I have sampled from my vehicle.
Let's begin with the tiramisu bar cake, $16.99.
This is a large bar cake,
perhaps not recommended for a vehicle.
But this is brand new,
and one of the best tiramisu items I've ever tried.
I could not wait to get home and I didn't necessarily want
to share this with too many other people.
The coffee cake muffins you see right here for eight bucks,
gets you two.
I'd share this with someone else.
It's also excellent in a car,
although I think maybe if I brought it home to warm it up,
it might've been even a stronger performer.
This is actually not as strong
in terms of the coffee cake flavor
compared to other coffee items I've sampled from Costco.
So this is a good option for those
who strongly embrace the coffee taste
or for those who are just semi-accepting of coffee flavors.
The pumpkin spice loaf you see right here for eight bucks,
not subtle in flavor,
comes in a nice cardboard packaging with a clear film.
So of course, this is something that could be gifted
to a host or hostess.
I gifted this to myself
and I enjoyed it from the trunk of my car.
It is delicious.
If you enjoy pumpkin, this is a must try.
You've heard of a gingerbread house,
well say hello to a ginger bread mansion, $11.99.
I decided I was not going to sample this from my car
because it looks so beautiful assembled.
This gingerbread estate is pre-built
and includes over one pound of candy
and icing for under 12 bucks.
Looks very nice as a decorative piece
perhaps for when you have family over,
you can all pick at it.
I guess that doesn't really sound too appetizing
the way I described it.
But the Belgian dark chocolate
you see right here for $10.69.
You get a nice bag of that rich dark chocolate on a dime.
Given again, that this is Belgian chocolate.
The 12-count stroopwafel ice cream sandwich for $12.89.
I believe this was built specifically for me
so I could enjoy it in my car and tell you about it.
I have never seen a stroopwafel ice cream sandwich ever,
let alone at Costco.
It was truly spectacular.
How do you top a stroopwafel sandwich?
Well, you continue on with point four and hanging hooks.
I know it seemed anti-climactic,
but these hooks are actually really good.
Let's begin with the bulk 3M Command hooks,
multiple designs and colors for $14.99.
You get hanging strips, brush metal hooks, designer hooks.
And if you purchase these in bulk,
they're a really good buy.
For example, the 16-light hooks you see right here
are a dollar each, a Dollar Tree.
Assuming you want to buy more than a handful,
you are lowering your cost per item at Costco.
The two-in-one tiered lazy Susan
you see right here for 30 bucks,
perfect for those holidays right around the corner
and serving a whole family with ease
or even for display purposes.
Great for appetizers and dips.
The lazy Susan is from the brand Mikasa,
which is also the maker of this 40-piece
china dinnerware set for 100 bucks.
This provides service for eight.
You get a huge assortment of varying sizes
of plates and bowls.
And take a look at the 12-piece Kirkland cookware set
right here for 120 bucks.
This is a hard anodized cookware.
And having now purchased and tried this set
before I could properly recommend it to you,
I will conclude it is an amazing nonstick surface.
It also works on infrared cooktops, it's dishwasher safe.
My only complaint is
that it does scratch up relatively quickly.
So if you're not that delicate with your cooking utensils,
this might not be the cookware set for you.
But I do enjoy it for the value and the price.
Speaking of price,
take a look at the $34.97 38-quart stock pot.
This is huge.
It's perfectly timed with the holidays
if you have giant stock or soup related needs.
Speaking of large, the two piece OXO cereal dispensers
can each hold a full box of cereals.
So again, each receptacle here
can contain an entire box of cereal.
This is a fantastic way to declutter
or modernize your pantry.
In the number five spot before I get to some wireless tech,
it's back to food, just for a brief moment.
Costco has rolled out some new soups this month,
including a two-pack of clam chowder soup for $12.59.
A two-pack of loaded potato soup for $8.99.
And this is rather ingenious
considering how popular charcuterie boards are right now.
If you are strapped on time,
this is essentially a charcuterie board in a box for $14.49.
It includes hand rolled fine meats and cheeses.
And it does include some of the higher-end meats
at this price, prosciutto, which is one of my favorites.
Although, if you were to buy each of the meats individually
and roll them yourself,
I think you'd be coming at around the same price.
So consider this a tastier level of convenience
for under 15 bucks.
In the number six spot of what you should be buying
at Costco this month, a duo of tech items.
And then I will get to that robo vac.
The wireless car and hotel baby monitor
you see right here for 140 bucks,
is built to show you what's going on,
both in the back of your car
without having to angle a mirror,
and then you can also use the same system inside a home
or a hotel for a wireless baby monitoring.
As a dad, I can attest to how useful this would have been
when my three-year-old was an infant.
I love how enthusiastic the woman
on the far right of the box is.
Depicted watching the baby monitor,
it looks as though she's just won the lottery.
And speaking of screens,
the 10.1 inch Aura digital photo frame
you see right here is 150 bucks.
But if that seems like a high price for a photo frame,
this is more than that.
This is a wifi photo frame, and a typical one on Amazon
would retail for around 200 bucks.
This allows you to remotely update photos
via an app for both yourself, family, friends, relatives.
An example of how I would use this,
my grandparents are not particularly technically savvy,
every time I want to share a new photo of our family,
I could just update
and share to their photo frame from the app.
In the number seven spot, vacuums.
And let's begin with the Shark IQ robo vac
you see right here.
This is 400 bucks, but this is a Costco exclusive model.
And again, a self-emptying robo vac.
The Dyson V10 Animal Plus is $449.
And to put the price into perspective,
it's being sold everywhere else for 500 bucks.
Even at Target right now,
the same Dyson V10 Animal cordless stick vac is $50 more.
You could use either vacuum to clean your sheepskins,
which brings me to point eight.
I know that sounded so weird, but I needed a segue.
The Australian sheepskin rug you see right here
for 100 bucks is a real sheepskin rug.
It's extremely soft, it's imported.
But if real fur is not your thing,
there is a faux fur rug for $59.99,
which is one of the softest rugs I've ever touched.
This one comes in white or gray.
And perhaps my favorite item on the entire list
for under 30 bucks is this heated throw, $29.99.
I decided I would buy and gift this to my mom.
She's always saying that she's cold,
and she regularly watches my video and is a big supporter
so I decided to gift her a $30 heated throw.
She said she loved the gift and is using it in her home.
Speaking of gifts,
who's working their segues now?
In the number nine spot
of what you should be buying at Costco this month,
Christmas and holiday gifts are running rampant.
The 24-bottle wine advent calendar
includes 24 half-bottles of wine for 100 bucks.
You could enjoy this tide to the holidays,
or perhaps just bring it home and start drinking early
if the wine is a good value.
The 12 Days of Cheese advent calendar for 50 bucks
is highly recommended for really anyone
unless they're lactose intolerant.
This 64-count of liquor-filled dark chocolate, $17.99,
and the two-pack boxed German chocolates for $9.99
are both great gifts.
And again, this is a two-pack
of boxed German chocolates for $9.99.
The pre-wrapped fine Belgian chocolates for $12.99,
or the Merci assorted chocolates for $11, all solid grabs.
The Ferrero Rocher, a definite favorite of my household,
the whole chocolate box for $9.79.
Or the very trendy, 20 cocoa hot chocolate balls for $18.69.
Likely to be another bestseller this month at Costco.
In the number 10 spot,
before I get to some highly random bonus product selections,
the 50-pound bag of snow melt for $11.89
is a very competitive price.
There's also this 12-pound bag
of pet-safe snow melt for $8.89.
You can score nine Duraflame logs for $28.99
to unleash your inner girl or boy scout instantly
with an awesome fireplace or campfire.
The two-pack aluminum shovels you see right here for $26.99
are a great invention for anyone on the road.
These are bright red foldable shovels.
Great if your vehicle gets stuck in the snow,
or if you are being a good Samaritan
and helping someone else during winter weather travel.
The 22-inch Greenworks snow blower for 700 bucks
is the first snowblower I've actually seen sold
at Costco this year.
It includes two 4-amp batteries,
dual LED lights, the full works.
The two-pack of neck warmers you see right here for $9.99
are great if you live in a colder climate.
And not as palatable of a price,
but perhaps perfect for someone who has very cold hands
or surrounded by cold weather, a Mobile heated glove pack.
Battery power heated gloves and completely rechargeable.
All right.
You can see I'm starting to work up a sweat.
This always happens towards the end of the video,
I look more and more disheveled.
Thank you for bearing with me.
The 72-count of Starbucks holiday K-cups, $29.99.
If you love Starbucks holiday flavors,
but want to steer clear of the direct Starbucks pricing,
$29.99 for 72.
Gift cards are a great buy at Costco.
It's nice to see this early.
You can get four $25 gift cards for $89.99.
So again, $100 worth of gift cards for 90 bucks.
The Roblox, which is a very popular game with kids right now
is included in the round-up.
So is the Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo,
great stocking stuffers.
And again, a little bit more money
back in your pocket where it belongs.
The ceramic deep hair waver.
I did not know what this was, my wife pointed it out.
It is apparently something that curls
and puts waves in your hair.
It's $29.99 if that floats your boat.
Waves, boats, see what I did there.
The rechargeable sonic facial brush also at $29.99,
is an exfoliator and a face cleaner.
These are very in demand right now.
The modern black floor lamp.
This would be in demand by me
because I love how sleek this is.
It's 100 bucks.
It's a great way to illuminate a room or elevate a space.
The filament bulbs are included.
And finally for the big finale,
more in terms of size than anything else,
this 60-inch bathroom vanity for $799,
has everything you could apparently ask for
in a bathroom vanity, including the soft-close drawers.
I'm not in the market for a bathroom vanity,
but please feel free to share this video
or at least that item, with anyone who is.
All right, we made it.
Thank you so much for watching.
If you guys do enjoy this content,
please feel free to give this video a thumbs up.
It helps more than I can articulate.
I will have your back as we approach Black Friday,
Cyber Monday, the holidays, every major retailer,
including your warehouse club favorites.
If you are subscribed with your notifications turned on,
I promise to keep rolling out that content.
Thanks for sticking with me.
I love you guys. Bye-bye.
