It’s beginning to look like Christmas! Well, not Christmas exactly, but it’s definitely getting colder. And if you live in an area where winters are more intense, you know what it means to be prepared. But what if you need a re-up on some of the things needed to make it through the colder seasons? Well, Costco has your back.

Costco is stocked to the rafters with all the essential items that will keep you warm, safe and comfortable all winter long — without breaking your budget.

Here are five Costco deals you won’t want to miss before the first snowflake hits.

• Price: $15.99

If you want to keep your workout routine going all winter, it’s important to make sure your hands are taken care of. The Head men’s touchscreen running gloves, available at Costco for just $15.99, are a must-have for anyone braving the frigid outdoors. These gloves feature Sensatec technology, which allows you to use your phone or any other touchscreen devices without getting cold fingers. You can Instagram your winter walks, no problem!

The four-way stretch fleece and double layer stretch cuff are there to help your hands stay comfy and warm. The palms have a silicone grip that makes them perfect for shoveling snow or scraping ice off your windshield. And the reflective logos give you added visibility when it’s dark out — a nice-to-have safety feature for your early morning or evening jogs.

At this price, you might want to grab a pair for each member of the family.

• Price: $18.99

Keep little hands toasty warm with Head junior ski mittens, which are just $18.99 right now. These mittens include a waterproof and windproof insert. They’re perfect for building a snowman or hitting the slopes — both activities where hands need to stay warm and dry. The insulation and soft lining lock in the heat too.

Plus, the easily accessible, high-quality zipper means you can get them on and off quickly. That’s going to be a lifesaver when your kids are eager to get outside and get into some wintertime mischief.

They are available in either black or purple and are sized for children ages 1 to 6. If you’ve got an active family, these mittens are an absolute must-have!

• Price: $36.99

Stay warm with the Tommy Hilfiger ladies’ quilted jacket. Costco members can get one for just $36.99. This jacket has an adjustable hood, zip pockets with a branded zipper pull and a stretch shell fabric for comfort. It’s practical too — fully machine washable and safe in your dryer.

The jacket is perfect for layering on cold days. The diamond quilting at the upper body adds a touch of elegance, while the high hood collar provides extra warmth. Choose from blue, white or red.

• Price: $36.99

For those extra cold days when gloves just aren’t enough, Heat Pro hand warmers are a game changer. At $36.99 for 80 pairs, these air-activated warmers provide up to eight hours of heat.

They reach a peak temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. They’re truly the best thing around for keeping your hands comfy during a long winter’s day — and an even longer winter’s night. 

Take these warmers along anytime it’s extremely cold, whether you’re running errands, working or attending any outdoor activities. Keep a box in your car, another at home and maybe even one at the office to share with office mates.

• Price: $129.99

If you love winter sports, or you just live somewhere with heavy snowfall, the Denali snowshoe kit is a great investment. This kit includes everything you need to snowshoe responsibly – a pair of snowshoes, three-piece trekking poles with flip lock closures and a carry bag. 

These snowshoes are perfect for your next snowy hiking adventure. The aluminum frame means they’re durable but not too heavy, and the heel lifts make climbing steep terrain a breeze. Safe travels!
