Costco Insider Reveals This Month’s Must-Haves, From Coveted Kicks to Valentine’s Delights
[City, State] – For two decades, Veronica Thatcher has been navigating the bustling aisles of Costco, and she’s got a seasoned eye for the warehouse’s hidden gems and viral sensations. This month, her insider intel points to a diverse haul of essentials and indulgences, sure to pique the interest of any savvy shopper.
Leading the charge in unexpected popularity were the Kirkland Signature Nike SB Dunk Lows. These limited-release sneakers, a rare collaboration between Costco and Nike, sparked an online frenzy and sent dedicated shoppers, like Thatcher herself, on quests to distant warehouses.
“My store didn’t have any, so I drove 90 miles to a location in San Francisco,” Thatcher recounted, feeling fortunate to have secured a pair amidst the scarcity. While future releases remain uncertain, their initial impact was undeniable.
Beyond the sneaker hype, Thatcher highlighted several practical and delectable finds. For the meal-preppers and portion-controllers, the Miu silicone freezer trays are a standout. This set of five trays, complete with lids for convenient stacking, offers an easy solution for freezing soups, broths, smoothies, or even leftovers.
Snack enthusiasts will appreciate the RXBar strawberry peanut-butter bites. Crafted with whole ingredients like peanut butter, egg whites, apples, strawberries, and dates, these bites offer a substantial on-the-go snack, boasting 8 grams of protein and 200 calories per serving.
Organization gets an upgrade with the Hefty 12-piece Shrink-pak bags. Ideal for decluttering and compactly storing bulky items like comforters, pillows, towels, and clothes, each box includes 11 bags in various sizes and a hand pump for air removal.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, Costco offers a sweet and unique gifting option: Macarooz macaron pops. These beautifully decorated treats, resembling roses and featuring red-velvet flavored macarons, are a charming way to express affection.
Looking ahead to spring, a delightful Disney-themed train set caught Thatcher’s eye. Featuring classic characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto, this set includes delicate lights on a timer and even plays music, perfect for adding a touch of whimsical décor.
Finally, for those seeking to elevate their morning routine, the Amylu chicken-sausage breakfast bites are a freezer section must-try. Each serving packs a punch with 14 grams of protein and 150 calories, offering a flavorful and interesting addition to breakfast meals.
