Hey fellas, December at Costco is always a blast with all the holiday stuff hitting the shelves, but these new arrivals really stand out. Last weekend I swung by my local warehouse to grab some basics and ended up loading the cart with a bunch of these gems – ended up saving a ton and feeling like I hit the jackpot. If you're heading in soon, keep an eye out for these six standout items that are perfect for kicking back, grilling, or just stocking the garage fridge.
This new Keurig is a game changer for your morning brew, especially if you're tired of weak coffee that tastes like dishwater. It uses higher pressure to whip up a real frothy crema on top, just like those fancy espresso shots, and it works with any K-cup pods. Comes in at around $150 after the discount this month, and it's got that sleek look that'll fit right in on your counter. Perfect for those cold December mornings when you need a strong kickstart before heading out to shovel the driveway or hit the workshop – no more running to the drive-thru.
Guys, if you're into grilling or cooking up steaks and burgers, this Lodge set is solid gold. You get a 12-inch and a 14-inch pre-seasoned skillet that's built tough – safe on the stovetop, grill, campfire, you name it. They're heavy-duty like the old-school ones your dad used, but with better heat distribution so your food cooks even. Priced around $80, it's a steal for cast iron that lasts forever. Throw some ribs or a big breakfast hash on these bad boys during the holidays, and you'll be the king of the kitchen without much fuss.
Need a quick pick-me-up after a workout or a long day in the garage? This Spylt stuff packs 20 grams of protein and 60mg of caffeine in each can – chocolate or cookies and cream flavors. It's like a protein shake met coffee and had a baby, super convenient for on-the-go. The 15-pack runs about $33, so you're getting a bunch for cheap. Keeps you fueled without the crash, and it's great stashed in the fridge for those afternoons when you need energy to tackle the honey-do list or watch the game.
Costco's bakery is killing it with this new triple chocolate loaf – loaded with cocoa, chips, and icing, topped with white chocolate curls. It's rich and moist, perfect for slicing up with your coffee or as a no-effort dessert when company's over. One loaf is huge, feeds a crowd easy, and it's way better than store-bought junk. Grab it fresh from the bakery section; it'll disappear fast during December rushes. Pair it with a cold beer or milk, and you're set for a chill evening unwinding after a busy day.
This waterproof Bose speaker is tough as nails – drop-proof, floats in water, and blasts clear sound for hours on a charge. Great for taking to the tailgate, backyard hangouts, or even the shop while you're wrenching on the truck. It's on sale for about $100 this month, a solid deal for Bose quality. Crank up your tunes during holiday parties or just blasting podcasts in the garage; the bass hits hard without distortion, and it's compact enough to toss in your bag.
If you're upgrading the man cave or living room setup for bowl games and movies, this LG 4K smart TV is a winner at around $280 online-only. Crystal-clear picture, built-in streaming apps, and a big screen that makes everything look epic – sports, action flicks, you name it. Comes with a long warranty too. Hook it up just in time for the playoffs, and you'll be glued to the couch with the buddies. Huge value for the size and features, way better than paying full price elsewhere.
