My Top Highlights from Costco After 20 Years of Shopping

Spending two decades at Costco has allowed me to discover some fantastic products. Each year, I eagerly explore the store, looking for novel finds in food, home essentials, and personal care.

This year, my purchases ranged from game-changing skincare gadgets to must-have home accessories. Let me share eight items that stood out for me this year.

Daily Delight: The Shark CryoGlow Device

I've made the Shark CryoGlow mask an integral part of my daily routine. This nifty gadget combines LED therapy with a cooling feature targeting the under-eye area to tackle various skin issues. It's a package deal with accessories like a charging base, pouch, remote control, and a set of under-eye pads.

Discovering Hidden Treasures: Designer Perfumes

Costco's beauty section harbors an array of designer perfumes, an often overlooked gem. Sourced from trusted suppliers, the choices include renowned names such as Gucci, Chanel, and Marc Jacobs. This year, I added 'Her' by Burberry, 'Flowerbomb' by Viktor & Rolf, and Marc Jacobs' 'Daisy' to my collection.

Oikos Vanilla Protein Shakes: Perfect Post-Workout Fuel

A staple on my shopping roster are the Oikos vanilla protein shakes. Not only are they an excellent grab-and-go snack after exercising, but they also pack a punch with 30 grams of protein per serving. With 18 bottles per box, they are a consistent purchase.

Quick and Easy Breakfasts with Krusteaz Pancake Mix

Pancake breakfasts are a family tradition every Saturday, and the Krusteaz mix makes the preparation a breeze. Just a splash of cold water is all it takes to whip up a deliciously fluffy stack—perfect for family bonding over breakfast.

The Odessa Lift-Top Vanity: My Top Pick This Year

The Odessa vanity stands out as my best purchase of the year. Its compact design conserves space in my room. It cleverly features a stool that fits snugly as a drawer. The upgrade includes a lift-top mirror with customizable LED settings, offering warm and cool lighting options. It even provides standard outlets and USB ports to power devices while I prepare.

Health in a Sip: Suja Organic Immunity Shots

Suja Organic Immunity shots are my go-to for a quick dose of vitamins and probiotics, especially during flu season. These shots are not only organic but also free from GMOs, vegan-friendly, kosher, and gluten-free, making them a versatile health boost.

A Rare Find: Stagg Bourbon

Scoring a bottle of Stagg bourbon was a major highlight. This bourbon, known for its pure and unfiltered nature, presents a delightful blend of smoky chocolate, rich brown sugar, cherries, vanilla, and oak flavors.

Staying Hydrated: Brio Bottom-Load Water Cooler

Water coolers at our store are hot commodities, quite literally. Securing the Brio 740 series bottom-load water cooler was a wise choice. It's efficient and space-saving, allowing me options for hot, chilled, or room-temperature water while reducing daily costs.
