7 Costco Items Retirees Need To Buy Before Spring Ends

Ready to go on a Costco shopping run before spring wraps up? Not only will retirees be able to stock up on essentials and save money ahead of summer, but they can also pick up certain items like beach chairs and golf stand bags that are only available while supplies last. 

Before heading out to your local warehouse, make sure to add one (or more) of these items to your Costco shopping list.

No matter where your adventures take you in retirement, from hiking in the mountains to a staycation by the lake house, it’s worth investing $75 into the Cascade mountain tech expedition duffel. Available in gray or blue, this duffel bag can convert to a backpack and be carried or worn with its padded straps. Each duffel is made with a large main compartment, interior mesh pocket and exterior pocket.

“I put the Cascade Mountain Tech Expedition Duffel to the test over the past week — and I’m seriously impressed. Whether it was a weekend hike, a gym session or a short road trip, this bag handled everything like a pro. The build quality is outstanding. The material is tough, water-resistant, and clearly made to last. I threw it in the trunk, dragged it through dirt, and even left it out during a sudden rain shower — and it still looks brand new. In just one week, I found myself relying on this duffel more than any other bag I own. If you need a bag that’s tough, practical, and built for adventure, this is it. I’ll definitely be taking it on many more trips to come,” wrote Kang in a five-star review.
