- As a Costco employee, I'm a fan of the limited-edition items and deals at the store this October.
- Grab the new Kirkland Signature loaded mashed potatoes or a limited-edition bottle of Hennessy.
- Cozy touches are coming to Costco through wool-lined Ugg boots and Berkshire Life heated throws.

The Kirkland Signature loaded mashed potatoes are new at Costco.
The delicious Kirkland Signature loaded mashed potatoes are new to Costco's deli section and are here for a limited time. The mashed potatoes contain butter, mozzarella, Parmesan, bacon, and sour cream.
To make it, I simply remove the mashed potatoes from the plastic container, place the portions on a baking sheet, and bake the dish on the center rack at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 50 minutes. I then let the mashed potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Each container of six portions costs $3.50 a pound, making each pack about $12 to $14.

The Berkshire Life heated throw is so cozy.
My Costco sells out of the soft, cozy Berkshire Life heated throw blankets each winter.
The Berkshire Life heated blanket is 50 by 60 inches, large enough to share, and has four heat settings, an easy-touch button, and a four-hour auto-shut-off feature.
The blankets are also machine washable and have long cords, so they're convenient if you want to sleep with them on a bed.
The Berkshire Life heated throw blanket costs $35.

The Tramontina All in One Plus pan can help make cooking dinner easier.
I had to have the Tramontina all-in-one set because it looked great for meal prepping or just cooking all of my food and having everything finished at the same time.
The set contains wooden utensils, a multifunction aluminum lid, a stainless-steel steamer insert, and a 5-quart pan. The pan has a ceramic coating, so it's easy to clean and dishwasher safe.
The pan itself is so versatile that you can use it to steam, fry, or sauté. You can find the Tramontina all-in-one pan set for $55, though my Costco has it on sale for $45.

The My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro makes me feel nostalgic.
Atari, a popular video-game system I remember from decades ago, is back at Costco for $80.
The My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro set includes a console with more than 200 titles, two wireless joysticks with integrated paddles, an HDMI cable, and a power cord.
It's a great game to get the family together that can be found online or in stores.

Harry's lasagna soup is a quick, delicious dinner.
If you're looking for a hearty, quick dinner, I recommend Harry's lasagna soup.
The Tuscan-inspired soup is ready in less than five minutes. It's made with turkey sausage, noodles, and cheese simmered in a creamy tomato broth seasoned with red wine and oregano.
The soup can be heated on the stovetop or placed in the microwave.
You can grab a pack of two 24-ounce tubs for $11.50.

The Blackstone griddle is a portable kitchen gadget.
The Blackstone griddle is a 22-inch tabletop device with a hood that's convenient to take almost anywhere.
It's small and portable, and its cover makes hauling it around easier and less messy. The set features a 361-square-inch cooking area, two burner controls, a rear grease-management system, and a heavy-duty carrying case.
Keep in mind that you'll need a propane tank that's not included in the box. Right now, you can find this Blackstone griddle in store for $190 or online for $170.

Grab a limited-edition bottle of Hennessy white cognac.
The Hennessy white cognac at Costco doesn't come in your average bottle — this particular release used to be sold only in the Caribbean.
The Hennessy white cognac has light and fruity aromas and notes of grapes, apples, and pears. This specific cognac is known to be difficult to produce, so if you see a bottle and like this type of alcohol, I'd pick this up.
Check your local warehouse to see if the $76 bottle is in stock.

The Tresanti Alexandra double-pedestal vanity is a gorgeous piece of furniture to get your hands on before it sells out.
It has a bright-white finish with a tempered-glass top, two USB ports to make charging your phone easier, nine drawers with adjustable dividers, and hot-tool storage. There's even a frosted LED-lit mirror with three brightness settings.
The Tresanti Alexandra vanity, which has to be assembled, can be found online at various prices.

Costco is carrying waterproof Ugg boots.
As the weather gets colder, Ugg boots may be the perfect addition to your outfit.
This particular style of Uggs is warm on the inside with a waterproof exterior.
You can find black or tan women's boots in sizes 6 to 10 for $115.

The Dr. ForHair Folligen shampoo says it helps with hair loss.
The Dr. ForHair Folligen shampoo is meant to aid hair-loss symptoms by helping with scalp health and hair volume.
Its packaging says the color-safe shampoo has no sulfates, silicone, or parabens and can help with scalp itchiness, excess sebum, and pore impurities.
Each pack contains two containers for just $34, about half the cost of what I've seen other stores charge.
