I’ve worked at Costco for 18 years. Here are 10 of the best things I’m seeing on the shelves this month.

The Custom Made Meals bacon-wrapped carnitas jalapeño poppers make a quick meal or appetizer.

These bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers are the ultimate party appetizer. The poppers are stuffed with cream cheese and savory carnitas to create a delicious bite.

This cook-and-serve meal can be made in less than 30 minutes in the air fryer, grill, or oven. A two-pack of the carnitas jalapeño poppers is $16 at my store. 

The Simply Fresh caprese pasta-salad shaker makes a delicious, quick meal.
The Jisulife portable neck fan is great during hot weather.

The Jisulife bladeless neck fan is handy during hot weather, no matter if you’re home, outdoors, or at work. It features an ultra-light design, three speeds, and three to 16 hours of working time.

Each box contains two fans, so you can leave one at home and use the other on the go. My Costco sells the Jisulife bladeless neck fan for $50.

I love the La Vie Gourmand stuffed churro bites.
The Hyperlite life vests come in a variety of sizes, so adults and kids can wear them.

It’s officially summer, which means more people are gathering at lakes and beaches — which is when the Hyperlite life vest could be useful.

This life vest, which comes in children’s and adult sizes, is lightweight and US Coast Guard-approved. It’s also available in various colors, so there’s something for everyone.

The Hyperlite vests’ prices vary according to size, but they range from $20 to $35 at my Costco.

The Kirkland Signature chipotle-chicken bowl with cilantro-lime rice is full of flavor.
The French Toast polos are a great find for students who wear school uniforms.

If you’re starting to shop for back-to-school supplies and clothing, you might want to grab a twin pack of collared polos. These polos, which come in colors like white, navy, and blue, are great for students who wear uniforms.

The brand makes several youth sizes, and many Costco locations also carry uniform skirts, shorts, and pants in twin packs in-store or online. The French Toast polo twin pack costs $15 at my location.

Reese’s frozen peanut-butter dessert cups are refreshing and sweet.
Reese’s frozen peanut-butter dessert cups are a fun take on the classic candy.

Reese’s frozen desserts — packed with peanut-butter flavor, like the brand’s traditional candies — just hit the freezer department at my store. Each treat has a peanut-butter-swirled dessert base covered in a milk-chocolate-flavored coating.

A box containing 24 cups is $18 at my store, which means each portion is only $0.75. 

Clean tough messes with the Shark WandVac Power cord-free handheld vacuum.
The cinnamon-apple raisin bread is a new selection in Costco’s bakery section.

Veronica Thatcher

The cinnamon-apple raisin bread is a new item in Costco’s bakery department. This loaf has tons of flavor from dried apples, cinnamon, raisins, walnuts, and pecans.

Microwave the bread for about 15 seconds before taking a bite, and you will be hooked. The 32-ounce loaf can be found in the bakery for $8.
