Costco is carrying Kirkland Signature s'mores clusters and luxe fragrances this September.Veronica Thatcher
  • As a Costco employee, I've seen some great deals and enticing sweet treats this September.
  • The Lotería game, high-end fragrances, and Blendjet blenders are popular among customers.

The Kirkland Signature s'mores clusters are a treat that'll make you reach for more.

The Kirkland Signature caramel s'mores clusters are a delicious dessert.      Veronica Thatcher

I think the Kirkland Signature caramel s'mores clusters are addictive and very satisfying. Each cluster contains milk chocolate, kettle-cooked caramel grahams, and marshmallows.

They're rich, chocolaty, and gooey with a nice crunch. The clusters come in a resealable bag that needs to be stored in a cool, dry place.

If you have a sweet tooth, you need to get your hands on the clusters before they're gone. You can find the Kirkland Signature s'mores clusters for $12.

The Pendleton rain jackets are back in stock. My Costco carries the jackets in classic yellow, red, and the newest option, purple.

I think the jackets are perfect for the winter or even everyday wear. The Pendleton jackets feature one inside and two front pockets.

You can find the Pendleton jackets in sizes ranging from small to extra large for $55.

The Kirkland Signature Southwest wraps with rotisserie chicken is the newest addition to Costco's deli section. Each container includes a delicious, creamy chipotle sauce along with four precut wraps.

The wraps contain rotisserie chicken, corn, black beans, cream cheese, baby spinach, bell peppers, and a blend of shredded cheeses inside of a tortilla.

The wraps are sold at $7 per pound, which usually comes out to around $17 for a container.

Check your local warehouse and online for luxe fragrances.

My Costco even carries the popular Daisy by Marc Jacobs fragrance.      Veronica Thatcher

This month, you can shop for best-selling fragrance brands at some Costco locations and online. My location has some of the most popular fragrance brands, including Chanel, Versace, and Marc Jacobs.

They tend to sell out pretty quickly and once they're gone, they may not be restocked again. I've seen some of the fragrances retail for $100 or more but at Costco, you can find some of them for around $60.

The Chosen Foods mayo might be your next pantry staple.

The Chosen Foods classic mayo is made with 100% pure avocado oil. I like that it's also keto-friendly.

The creamy mayo has a little bit of a tangy flavor that goes well with lots of different foods, like sandwiches, burgers, and egg salad.

You can grab a 32-ounce jar of the Chosen Foods mayo for $9, or $6.50 when it's on sale.

If you see it, check out the deluxe Lotería game.

Lotería is similar to Bingo.      Veronica Thatcher

Lotería has been around for centuries, and a version of the popular Mexican game is available at Costco. When my Costco location finally got the game, we sold out within a few hours, restocked once, and cleared out again.

I'd compare Lotería to playing Bingo, though it uses images on cards instead of numbered balls. The box contains eight boards, 128 glass chips, plastic playing cards, and a fabric bag for storing the chips.

If it's in stock, you can grab Lotería for only $11.

The Bentgo lunch box was a back-to-school essential for my family.

The Bentgo lunch boxes contain removable compartments.      Veronica Thatcher

Bentgo lunch boxes hit my Costco's shelves just in time for back-to-school season. The lunch-box set, which can also be used as meal-prep containers, comes in a pack of two.

Each lunch box has three food compartments and the largest one has a removable divider. Additionally, the entire food compartment can be popped out and cleaned on its own. I also like that the Bentgo lunch boxes are microwave- and dishwasher-safe.

You can find the two-pack of Bentgo lunch boxes for $50. If you can't find a hue you like, you may also be able to find more colors, like aqua, purple, or blue, on Costco's website.

The Go Raw pumpkin seeds are a great snack or topping.

I'm a big fan of the Go Raw pumpkin seeds with sea salt.      Veronica Thatcher

The Go Raw sprouted organic pumpkin seeds are great for snacks on the go or as a topping for salads, baked goods, and yogurt. They're keto- and paleo-friendly with only two ingredients: Pumpkin seeds and sea salt.

The seeds are packed with 8 grams of protein per serving and help give me energy throughout day.

The 22-ounce bags of Go Raw sprouted pumpkin seeds are $3.60 off right now, retailing for $6.40. This deal ends on September 24.

The Berkshire faux fur throws are so comfy.

The Berkshire textured faux fur throws are so soft and cozy. My store carries white, purple, gray, or light-blue 60-by-70-inch blankets.

They're machine washable and reversible, so one side is white and the other is whichever color you choose. You can find the Berkshire throws for $22 in-store or online.

The Blendjet blenders come in black and mint colors.      Veronica Thatcher

The Blendjet portable blender has been pretty popular among customers at my Costco. Blendjet is known for being quiet, cordless, and powerful for easy transport and blending.

They come in a set of two blenders, one in black and the other in mint, that fit most cup holders. The blenders come with USB-C charging cables, detachable jars, leak-proof lids, and carrying straps.

Notably, the materials are hand-wash only. A two-pack of the Blendjet blenders costs $80.
