Costco is carrying Alani energy packs and Dyson Supersonic hair dryers this August.Veronica Thatcher
  • As a mom and Costco employee, I shop at the store for back-to-school and late-summer essentials.
  • The ThermoFlask stainless-steel water bottles will be perfect to send my kids to school with.

The Sage ladies' jackets look comfortable and stylish.

The Sage ladies' plush plaid shirt jacket has been flying off the shelves at my store. The jackets have been restocked three times and if you know Costco, you know we stock up in bulk.

The Sage jacket features a plush lining with pockets and comes in multiple colors including red, gray, and blue.

You can find the jackets in store but if they're sold out, they're also available online for $17 each.

The Alani Nu energy drinks are perfect before I hit the gym.

If you need a pick-me-up or a pre-workout beverage for the gym, Costco now carries an 18-count Alani Nu energy pack. The variety pack contains 12-ounce cans in three flavors, including juicy peach, cosmic stardust, and cherry slush.

The drink pack is currently one of my favorite Costco buys and I especially like the peach though all flavors are good since they're not too sweet or sour.

I also love that each can of Alani Nu is sugar-free and contains only 10 calories and 200 milligrams of caffeine.

A pack of Alani Nu usually retails for $22 at Costco.

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer has been popular among Costco customers.

According to its packaging, the Dyson supersonic hair dryer is equipped with a v9 motor and intelligent heat control. The hair dryer comes with magnetic attachments including a concentrator, wide-tooth comb, gentle air attachment, diffuser, and fly-away attachment. You also get a stand to place your dryer and attachments on.

The Dyson Supersonic dries my hair in half the time it takes with a conventional hair dryer. I've had the Dyson Supersonic for five years and I really love it.

You can find the Dyson Supersonic at your local warehouse or online for $430.

The Kirkland Signature chicken sandwich on sprouted-grain bread is a new item freshly made in Costco's deli. The sandwich features seasoned chicken breast, tomatoes, lettuce, provolone cheese, and a secret sauce.

It's an easy, convenient meal as it's already presliced and ready to eat or be refrigerated.

Each container contains four sandwiches sold at $6 per pound, which comes out to about $13.

The accent rugs at my Costco came in four different designs.      Veronica Thatcher

It's not yet fall but Costco has autumnal outdoor rugs. You can choose from four different designs featuring sunflowers, pumpkins, a black-and-white-checkered pattern, and a farmer's truck.

Each rug is 22 by 38 inches, has a slip-resistant backing and comfort foam core, and costs $20.

I think the Kirkland Signature fruit and cheese tray from Costco is perfect for gatherings. It's a hassle-free treat, comes ready to eat, and is filled with fresh strawberries, grapes, and aged cheddar and gouda cheeses.

The tray is $5 per pound, which comes out to about $17.

The two-pack of ThermoFlask bottles are perfect for back-to-school.

According to the packaging, the bottles are double-wall vacuum insulated and can keep your drink cold for 24 hours. Choose from blue and white or red and teal pairs.

They're on sale for $13 until August 27.

S'mores can't get any better than this. The Delici s'mores soufflés are made with graham crackers, Belgian chocolate, and marshmallows and come in reusable glasses.

Simply microwave the soufflés for 30 seconds and you have a delicious dessert without a mess.

You can grab a pack of six Delici soufflés for $14.

I've found the Bioderma micellar-water makeup remover cleanses and soothes the face and eyes and is gentle enough for sensitive skin.

I like that it has no harsh smell and is to pump and apply on a cotton pad or towel.

This month, you can find the Bioderma micellar water in the Costco coupon book for $13.

In my opinion, the green-chile cornbread isn't that spicy.      Veronica Thatcher

The green-chile cornbread is a new item that's been selling out at my Costco store. It's made in Costco's own bakery and can be paired with so many meals, like your favorite chili.

Though the cornbread is made with green chiles I don't find it to be that spicy. You can find the green-chile cornbread at Costco for $8.
