  • I’ve worked at Costco for 20 years and love browsing the aisles for great new products.
  • This month, the retailer is stocking its shelves with cold-weather essentials like cozy clothing.

As a Costco employee of 20 years, I’m constantly scanning the warehouse shelves for great new products.

This month, I found lots of cold-weather staples, from warm jackets and cozy slippers to delicious soups and seasonal pillows.

Here are nine of the best things I’m seeing on shelves this month.

The Kirkland Signature unisex slippers are great for indoor or outdoor use.

If you’re looking for a cozy pair of shoes for the fall months, I suggest checking out the Kirkland Signature unisex slippers. The shearling lining feels comfortable and provides warmth, softness, and breathability.

Available in black and tan options, these cozy slippers are perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

The Sabatier Snacklebox set is perfect for portable food prep.

The Sabatier Snacklebox offers a smart, stylish, and functional way to store and transport snacks. This portable food-prep tool includes multiple compartments to help keep each item separate and prevent flavor crossover.

However, I also think it would be great for storing non-food items.

Each set comes with boxes in two different sizes and lids that double as cutting boards to prep or display food.

I was excited to see that the Oura Ring 4 is available at Costco.

The Oura Ring 4 is a lightweight smart ring designed to monitor various aspects of your health, sleep quality, and daily activity.

Unlike bulkier wrist-worn trackers, the Oura Ring 4 packs advanced sensors into a discreet ring that can be worn 24/7. It has an eight-day battery life, and is water-resistant, durable, and available in stylish finishes like silver and gold.

I love the store’s selection of holiday throw pillows.

One of my favorite things about working at Costco is getting to see the seasonal items as soon as they arrive.

And even though it’s only October, Costco is getting a head start on the holidays with cute throw pillows shaped like Christmas trees, gingerbread men, peppermint candies, and snowmen. I recommend grabbing a few different styles to layer together.

Warm up on cold days with the Panera Bread Southwest-style chicken soup.

There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold day, and this month, my Costco store has containers of Panera Bread’s Southwest-style chicken soup.

This quick and easy meal is made with chicken, corn, black beans, red bell and poblano peppers, and a creamy broth.

The Columbia pullovers are both stylish and comfortable.

Fleece pullovers are a staple piece in many fall wardrobes, and this month, the Columbia women’s fleece pullovers caught my eye.

Available in gray, cream, and navy-blue color options, this versatile jacket is both comfortable and stylish.

I think the Auto Ready safety kit is a great item to keep in your car.

In my opinion, a well-stocked emergency kit is a must-have for every car.

From a first-aid kit and gloves to jumper cables and a flashlight, the Auto Ready safety kit is stocked with tools to help you manage emergency situations.

The DiGiorno supreme pizza is loaded with delicious toppings.

If you’re looking for a delivery-quality pie that you can keep in the freezer, I suggest checking out DiGiorno frozen pizza.

I especially love the supreme version, which includes toppings like pepperoni, sausage, bell peppers, and onions. Plus, there are three pizzas in each box, which is great for families or bigger get-togethers.

The Quinn PB&J pretzels look delicious.

If you’re looking for a new snack, I recommend checking out the Quinn PB&J-filled pretzel nuggets.

This unique snack puts a twist on the traditional peanut-butter-filled pretzels with a yummy berry jelly. These pretzels are gluten, dairy, and soy-free, so they’re great for lots of different diets.
