8 Costco Items To Buy This Summer Before They’re Gone
As summer slowly draws to a close, individuals and families are desperate to squeeze every last second of enjoyment of being away from work and school. The slow pace of mid-to-late August will soon pick up steam across America, with students and employees grudgingly getting back into school and office mindsets.
Costco, being Costco, has everything you need to enjoy the remaining three-day weekends and the last vacation days of summer. Every year, Costco deals on summer-specific items like patio sets, grilling supplies, pool equipment, backyard, and camping gear. But with fall approaching, the wholesaler is in seasonal transition mode, selling off the rest of its limited summer stock.
Here are 8 Costco items to buy this summer before they’re gone.
Greenworks Leaf Blower
- Price: $239.99
The Greenworks 80V Jet Blower will do the trick if your lawn needs severe leaf-blowing power. At $239, it is a bit pricey, but it’s one of the cheaper options on the market. Considering it comes with two 2.5Ah batteries, a rapid charger, a 4-year tool, and a 4-year extended battery warranty, this blower is a no-brainer compared to the alternative of raking and bagging leaves.
