This month, Costco has a few fun items for kids.Veronica Thatcher
- This month, Costco is carrying a new bakery item and some treats for Halloween.
- The Titan insulated carry-all is great for transporting lunches to school or work.
I've worked at Costco for 19 years, and if you ask me, the store is a leading retailer in customer satisfaction for a reason. The warehouse always seems to be stocking its shelves with new food items, furniture, and home goods.
This October, the retailer is carrying new fall-themed merchandise and even a few holiday items. Here are 10 things I recommend checking out at Costco this month.
Prices may vary by location.
I'd definitely pick up the Nurri chocolate protein shakes.
I like the Nurri chocolate protein shakes because they're lactose-free and only 150 calories per serving. Veronica Thatcher
The Nurri chocolate shakes can be a great way to get extra protein and vitamins into your diet.
Each serving contains only 1 gram of sugar, 10 vitamins and minerals, and 150 calories. I also like that these protein shakes are lactose-free.
A 12-pack of 11-ounce shakes costs $20 at my location.
Check out the mixed-berry streusel cheesecake in Costco's bakery section.

Costco's bakery has introduced a popular new item: the mixed-berry streusel cheesecake.
This dessert is made with a sweet graham-cracker crust, rich cheesecake, and a filling with cherries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The final cake is topped with a scrumptious, crispy streusel that ties everything together.
The mixed-berry streusel cheesecake is $23 at my location.

Get ready for the winter season with the Bluey family holiday inflatable.

This cute holiday inflatable depicts Dad, Mum, Bluey, and Bingo with a Christmas tree.
It can be displayed indoors or outdoors, has double stitching for durability, and stands about 6 feet tall. The animated series is pretty popular, so I doubt this inflatable set will be in stock until Christmas.
My Costco sells this holiday inflatable for $150.
Keep your lunch cool or warm with the Titan insulated carry-all.

Mix things up with the Utz Halloween mini cheese-ball barrel.
Each Utz Halloween mini cheese-ball barrel contains 60 bags of corn snacks. Veronica Thatcher
With spooky season just around the corner, it might be worth straying from typical candy bars and grabbing the Utz Halloween barrel of cheese balls instead.
Each barrel contains 60 bags of mini cheese balls. The cheese-flavored corn snacks make for a great treat, and the barrel can even be reused as a storage bin.
The Utz Halloween barrels are only $7.60 at my Costco.
The Lego luggage set comes with a carry-on and a backpack.
