I've worked at Costco for 18 years. Here are 10 of the best things I'm seeing on shelves right now.

We Take The Cake mini bundt cakes have been very popular since they came in at our store. Customers can find the sweet dessert in the back cooler near the deli section. Each box contains four triple-chocolate and four red-velvet cakes.

  • As a mom, wife, and Costco employee of 18 years, I shop at the chain for my summer essentials.
  • Costco is carrying treats like We Take The Cake mini bundts and Reese's-dipped animal crackers.
  • The Disney Halloween village set has already sold out twice at the Costco I work at.

We Take The Cake mini bundt cakes are cute and delicious.

We Take The Cake mini bundt cakes have been very popular since they came in at our store. Customers can find the sweet dessert in the back cooler near the deli section. Each box contains four triple-chocolate and four red-velvet cakes.

The best part is that it comes with individually prepackaged cream-cheese and chocolate frostings. There's no need to thaw these cakes, as they come ready to serve.

A box of eight cakes is just $16.50.

Costco's stackable boxes and organizers might be a handy storage solution.

Costco's stackable boxes are very versatile if you want to organize some shoes, handbags, or other personal items you don't want to accidentally smash,

The boxes come in a pack of four and are stackable up to 10 layers with a weight limit of nearly 4 pounds per box. They're fully transparent with front- and side-door access and can fit up to a men's size 14 shoe.

You can find the stackable boxes for $30 and, if you're lucky, some locations have them on coupon for as low as $25.

The Ion Total PA Ultimate high-power speaker delivers some great-quality sound.

The Ion Total PA Ultimate high-power speaker has made a name for itself. The wireless Bluetooth 5.0 speaker comes with two microphones and can wirelessly stereo link with an additional Total PA Ultimate.

You can customize the audio settings and 10 light modes on the easy roll-around speaker with the Ion app. Customers can grab a speaker for $180.

The Lucky Brand rib crew T-shirts are super soft.

Lucky Brand is pretty popular at Costco so I was happy to see a three-pack T-shirt set at for sale at the chain. Each package comes with stretch rib crew T-shirts in a variety of different colors.

Choose between a set of black, gray, and white shirts or a pack of blue, light-blue, and blush options. I think they're super soft with a nice stretch for an easy fit for just $15.

Scrub Daddy sponges are a cleaning staple for me.

I find that Scrub Daddy sponges clean really well. Veronica Thatcher

Scrub Daddy, an item known on social media for its cleaning abilities, is now available at Costco. You can grab an eight-pack of scratch-free and odor-resistant sponges. They also have a flex-texture feature, which means they're soft in warm water and firm in cool water.

The sponges come in four different colors, which I like because it helps color code which sponges I use to clean certain surfaces. You can find Scrub Daddy sponges for $16.

Reese's-dipped animal crackers combine a crunch with sweet milk chocolate and creamy peanut butter.

The Reese's-dipped animal crackers are a great sweet treat. Veronica Thatcher

Reese's-dipped animal crackers are definitely a crowd-pleaser. The bite-sized animal crackers are covered in a thick layer of peanut-butter candy and dipped in milk chocolate so they're a great snack to satisfy your sweet tooth.

In my opinion, it's the perfect combination that will leave you wanting more. You can find the Resse's-dipped animal crackers for $7.80.

The Greenmade storage totes come in handy during a move or when putting decorations away.

Whether you're decluttering your space or storing decorations or clothes, the Greenmade 27-gallon plastic storage totes come in handy. The totes come with a snap-in lid that allows easy stackability.

They can be stored indoors or outdoors so there's definitely some versatility as far as what you can use them for. You can get the Greenmade storage totes for $9.50 but they go as low as $8 on coupon every few months.

The Fire Sense patio heater is a popular item among shoppers.

The Fire Sense patio heater is a hot seller at Costco, even in the summer. The gray-finish heater comes with a tank cover that conveniently serves as a table.

The patio heater has wheels for easy mobility, uses a standard propane gas tank, and has a safety auto shut-off tilt valve. At $160, the Fire Sense patio heater can be a worthy addition to your outdoor space.

The Disney Halloween village set is already flying off the shelves.

The Disney Halloween village set could be a great gift. Veronica Thatcher

It's not October yet but the Disney Halloween village set has already sold out twice at my Costco. Now the 12-piece set, which includes one musical haunted house, one lighted tower, one lighted tree stump, one lighted fence, two spooky trees, five figures, and one lamp post, is back in stock.

The village toy is battery-operated, plays haunting music and sounds, and has a self-timer for six hours on and 18 hours off. You can find the Disney Halloween Village for $100.

The Poppi drinks are so good and aesthetically pleasing.

Some might recognize the Poppi drink from ABC's "Shark Tank." According to its label, each can is made with fresh fruit and contains 5 grams or less of sugar and 25 or fewer calories.

I love that this drink has natural prebiotics from unfiltered apple-cider vinegar, meaning it can help to keep your gut happy. A box of 15 cans of the bubbly drink costs $21 at Costco.
