No freezer is complete without a 12-pack of Island Way sorbet. Every box comes with a variety of flavors including heavenly coconut, red berry and ruby red grapefruit, mango and pomegranate. Perfect for cooling down after a long day or as a sweet treat for the whole family, they're a lot cheaper than visiting the ice cream truck.

  • Price: $18.15

Tree Hut body scrub is now available at Costco! Members can snag a two-pack of vanilla and coco colada shea sugar scrubs for under $20. A single scrub typically retails for $10 at Ulta Beauty, or more, if you’re shopping at drugstores like CVS.

  • Price: $15.93

Cozy up in a lightweight cotton gauze throw. These inexpensive throws come in a variety of summer-themed patterns and feature a plush reversible side for extra comfort.

  • Price: $11.34

They’re back! Members can find the popular Kirkland Signature marshmallow crispy cookies in Costco’s bakery. Each container comes packed with 24 freshly baked cookies.

Pro tip: Costco shoppers on Reddit said these cookies freeze well. Seal and freeze any leftover cookies. Then you can pull 'em out of the freezer and heat them up in the microwave to snack on when they've vanished from the shelves.

  • Price: $7.91

The 2-in-1 beach towel and tote bag is summer’s hottest under the radar accessory.

This beach towel converts to a tote to accommodate spur-of-the-moment beach-day visits and even sunbathing by the pool. Choose from blue, green, pink or purple shades while supplies last.
