I recently celebrated my 19th anniversary as a Costco employee, and needless to say, I’ve learned a lot about which products are worth buying from the store. Costco, which is a leading retailer in customer satisfaction, always seems to carry high-quality items at great prices.

This September, the warehouse is carrying a few new food options and items for fall. Here are 10 items I recommend checking out at Costco this month.

Prices may vary by location.

With cooler weather approaching, you might want to stock up on tubes of Eos super balm to keep your lips hydrated and smooth.

These conditioning lip balms come in five different flavors, including watermelon frosé, mango melonade, honey apple, coconut milk, and birthday cake.

A five-pack of Eos super balm is $17 at my store.

Winter is approaching, and Costco has the cutest jackets for the cold weather — including apparel from name brands like Calvin Klein.

This Calvin Klein coat is available in black and beige and ranges in sizes from small to 2XL. It has two front pockets, a removable belt, and snap buttons.

I’ve seen Calvin Klein in department stores, but items from the brand are usually a fraction of the price at Costco. This particular trench coat is $50 at my location.

The kids’ floor loungers at my Costco are selling out fast. The loungers, which can serve as both a floor pillow and chair, come in Hello Kitty and Bluey designs.

Each lounger is made with 100% polyester and shredded foam for maximum comfort. I think they’d make the perfect gift for a child.

The kids’ floor loungers cost $80 at my Costco.

The price of gold bars can vary at Costco.

Buying gold bars can be a good investment, and Costco carries this metal in-store and online when it’s available.

When we get them in stock, they tend to sell very quickly, and prices can vary according to their value. At my store, gold bars are currently selling for $2,560.

Just keep in mind that gold bars can’t be returned.
