After working at Costco for 19 years, I totally get why the store is the leading retailer in customer satisfaction. From the store's rotating stock of home goods to the new food items constantly hitting the shelves, I'm never bored while browsing Costco's aisles.
This month, the store is carrying new food items as well as merchandise that would make great gifts for the holidays. Here are 10 things I recommend checking out at Costco this November.
Prices may vary by location.

The griddle, which has a 12-by-22-inch cooking surface, also comes with a drip tray and a removable temperature-control probe so you can clean smarter, not harder.
At my store, the Bella ceramic griddle with a warming tray is $40.
This month, I recommend checking out Costco's take-and-bake pizzas.

Costco's take-and-bake pizzas are brand new in my store's deli department.
Customers can choose from either a combo pizza (made with slow-aged pepperoni, Italian sausage, fire-roasted peppers, onions, and shredded mozzarella) or a Margherita-style pie (made with mozzarella, slow-roasted tomatoes, and Kirkland Signature basil pesto).
You can't go wrong with either flavor. The take-and-bake pizzas cost about $17 at my location.

This assortment comes with five different flavors — including soppressata, Toscano, Calabrese, Milano, and pepper salames — imported from Italy.
My Costco sells 12-ounce packages of the Veroni salame tray for $12 each.
