In the golden autumn month of October, the air is crisp and clear as we bid farewell to summer and look forward to the upcoming winter and the bustling holiday season at the end of the year, including the approaching Halloween. So, what are the best items to buy at the well-known American chain store Costco in October? There are five affordable, high-quality, and seasonally appropriate Costco’s own-brand products to choose from.
Costco’s marketing success is closely tied to its in-house brand Kirkland Signature. With hundreds of products under the brand, Kirkland Signature covers almost everything people need in their daily lives, from groceries to clothing, and even household items like batteries. The brand’s simple concept is to offer members high-quality products comparable to international brands at more affordable prices, earning it praise from Costco members. Members know that purchasing Kirkland Signature products is a way to save money.
Here are five Kirkland Signature brand products that Finance website The Motley Fool has compiled for members to consider purchasing at Costco in October.
As autumn arrives and leaves fall, it’s time to put on warm socks and snuggle under blankets.
Merino wool is not only better at regulating body temperature and absorbing moisture but is also believed to have antibacterial properties, helping reduce odors. However, products made with merino wool can be expensive, giving members a reason to shop at Costco.
Kirkland Signature Merino Wool Blend Socks offer affordability. The thinner women’s socks have a higher merino wool content but come at a slightly higher price per pair, while men’s socks with a higher nylon content offer greater cushioning at a lower price per pair.
For the ladies, the Seg’ments Merino Wool Sweater sold at Costco is also a great choice, priced at under $20. While some online users mentioned that this wool sweater may not be very durable, considering the low price, it is still a cost-effective option.
The fineness of wool is a critical criterion for determining its quality and grade. Merino wool, also known as ultrafine merino wool, has extremely fine fibers with a diameter of 19.5 microns or below, with the highest quality merino wool having a diameter of 11.7 microns or less. Merino ultrafine wool is soft, lightweight, and suitable for close-fitting clothing items like scarves, cashmere sweaters, and undergarments.
Many people on social media have expressed their loyalty to this gift wrap paper, which has just been restocked at Costco this season. Each pack contains two rolls of sturdy paper (available in silver/gold foil or green/red craft paper designs), each with different patterns, covering 270 square feet per roll.
Buying a pack of double-sided gift wrap paper is enough to wrap approximately 206 shirt gift boxes, 32 regular doors, or one large SUV.
Autumn is the season of ripe apples, pears, pumpkins, and enjoying kale. Pairing these fruits and vegetables with a good quality vinegar can enhance their flavor.
This organic vinegar from Modena has a slightly sweet taste, a black color, and a thick consistency.
Kirkland’s organic vinegar is highly praised for its quality, and its bottle is large and cost-effective. Although it is priced higher than non-organic vinegar, it is cheaper compared to similar organic products at other supermarkets.
Chinese netizens have shared various ways to use this vinegar: dipping bread in oil and vinegar sauce, adding vinegar to boiled eggs, mixing it with yogurt, salads, noodles, and more.
Kirkland Signature offers two excellent Funhouse Snack Candy Mixes, one being the All Chocolate mix and the other being the Variety Pack mix. They feature popular brands such as M&Ms, Snickers, Twizzlers, Sour Patch Kids, and come in large packaging that offers great value for money.
This product is a great choice for Halloween.
Whether you are planning a gathering with family and friends or just want to enjoy more pumpkin-flavored treats in the fall, consider choosing Costco’s own Pumpkin Pie.
Some Chinese netizens have mentioned that this pumpkin pie is easy to slice and portion, with a thinner crust than expected, a subtle cinnamon aroma, and a texture resembling sweet potato mash. However, opinions on the pie’s sweetness vary among users, so it depends on individual preferences for sweet foods.
