A Costco worker has advised shoppers to buy 10 specific items this month at any of the retail chain's stores.

Writer and Costco employee Veronica Thatcher talked to Business Insider today about a variety of must-get products for this month.

Thatcher wrote that Costco is a leading retailer in customer satisfaction and that it has a 'rotating inventory' and 'competitive pricing'.

'As someone who's worked at for over 18 years, I'm always on the lookout for the best-value items at the wholesale retailer,' she wrote.

The best items to purchase during the final month of spring include delicious food, an activity for warm weather, and a chip substitute.

Kirkland Signature Tuscan Chicken Wrap

The Kirkland Signature Tuscan Chicken Wrap is a new item that's available only at the deli in all Costco locations.

The deli item first arrived at Costco in April, and it received positive reviews from Reddit users after its release.

The wrap is filled with rotisserie chicken, spinach, bell peppers, red pepper pesto, black olives, and cream cheese.

It also comes with a container full of a sun-dried tomato spread that consumers can put inside or outside the wrap.

Costco customers can get this precut wrap today for $7 per pound, which is about $16 or $17 in total.

Happy Hop Crocodile Cave Adventure Water Slide

A fun activity for kids which helps with staying cool outside this summer is a Happy Hop Crocodile Cave Adventure Water Slide.

Costco refers to the product as an 'exciting and entertaining inflatable water slide' that is easy to inflate, deflate, and store.

The slide is perfect for children ages three and up and it can carry a maximum of three children that weigh around 100 pounds each.

Thatcher likes that the slide is easy to store and bring outside on warm days despite it having a $400 price tag.

Bloomington Cascading Cup Fountain

The unique and decorative fountain, with amber-colored glass beads and copper-colored bowls, is more than five feet tall.

It is a fountain that Costco says 'commands your attention' with a 'melodic waterfall sound.'

The product is not meant to be a desk decoration, but it can be a great feature for any room in one's house, including a living room or bedroom.

Thatcher wrote that the fountain also comes with an Allen wrench and its worth $300 at the store in which she works at.

However, the price could be different in other locations, and as of now, the total cost of the fountain when purchasing it online is unclear.

Kirkland Signature Dipped & Chewy Granola Bars

Consumers can find these tasty granola bars in various store chains and online.

However, Thatcher was excited to try on the Kirkland Signature Dipped & Chewy Granola Bars that she decided to snag them from the Costco store where she works.

'The chocolate-and-caramel combination immediately hooked me,' she wrote.

The scrumptious granola bar includes a milk chocolate coating and a caramel center with no artificial colors or flavors.

Every box comes with 48 granola bars, which Thatcher was able to purchase at her workplace for $11.

The longtime Costco employee may have gotten lucky with the price since one box of 48 granola bars costs $23.99 on Amazon.

Blackstone 6 Piece Griddle Toolkit

For anyone hoping to purchase top-notch tools at Costco, the Blackstone 6 Piece Griddle Toolkit may be the best item to buy.

Thatcher wrote that the toolset is currently 'a hot seller' at her work, and it comes with everything someone needs to work on an outdoor grill.

The set includes a griddle scraper, spatulas, and two 16-ounce squirt bottles.

Currently, the Costco store where Thatcher works is selling this product for $20.

This could possibly be a fantastic deal, especially since more than one similar Blackstone griddle tool kit can be worth around $50.

Woozoo Five-Speed Globe Fan

Temperatures are increasing and everyone who needs to stay cool in the summertime can purchase a Woozoo Five-Speed Globe Fan at Costco.

The product is a compact, remote-controlled fan with five speeds, a timer and an LED turn-off function.

'The modern Vortex grille design not only adds to the charm of its new home, but also delivers efficient airflow, making it an investment in both comfort and sophistication,' read Costco's product description.

The breeze can also stretch to 82 feet, which is perfect for a small room or work area.

Thatcher wrote that the fan costs $47 at her store, which is the same price as the product on Costco's website.

Costco's Lemon-Meringue Cheesecake

The Costco bakery has added another baked good to their delicious dessert choices.

Thatcher had nothing but good things to say about her store's lemon-meringue cheesecake, which is 'a toasted-meringue topping, and a sweet graham-cracker crust.'

The cheesecake may not be available at all Costco locations and a Reddit user even wrote that their nearest store location had this desert available last year.

Other Reddit users gave the cheesecake good reviews, but more than one person wrote that the desert was 'too sweet.'

The Costco desserts can vary, but the store where Thatcher works is currently selling this treat for $22.

Hurley Ladies' Swimsuits

Summer is the time to take a dip in the pool, so a bathing suit may be a great purchase to make this month at Costco.

Thatcher's Costco has a variety of choices available at its store, a famous brand being Hurley.

Hurley is a famous company focusing on swimwear like bathing suits and board shorts.

The product's 'stretchy fabric and adjustable shoulder straps' is why Thatcher loves the bathing suits.

Swimsuits on the official Hurley website are not cheap, but they are available to buy at Costco for $22 at Thatcher's store.

Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars

Ice cream trucks may be overrated in Thatcher's mind, especially since she praised Häagen-Dazs Vanilla Milk Chocolate Almond Ice Cream Bars.

She called the sweet treats 'a delicious warm-weather desert,' which includes vanilla ice cream, milk chocolate, and almonds.

Häagen-Dazs is a well-known ice cream brand that is sold in several retail chains worldwide.

Each box sold at Costco contains 15 bars and the product has been rated more than four stars on various online stores.

The prices for these ice cream bars vary, but they are worth $13.90 per box at Thatcher's store.

4505 Chicharrones Chile-Limón Party Mix

Consumers who love potato chips may enjoy a zesty bag of 4505 Chicharrones Chile-Limón Party Mix.

It is a bag or container full of seasoned fried pork rinds in Tajín, chile, and lemon flavors.

Pork rind lovers that are hoping to purchase these snacks for a party may want to get an 11-ounce tub at Costco.

Thatcher's workplace is currently selling those tubs for only $8.

Interestingly enough, the price for a 7-ounce bag of this snack is nearly double the cost of a tub on Amazon.
