As a longtime shopper, I think the Toom garlic dip and Mac Sports double camping chair are two of the best things to get at Costco right now.

  • I'm a diehard Costco fan who's been shopping at the store for over 20 years.
  • On a recent trip to the wholesale retailer, I saw lots of warm-weather essentials.
  • I can't get enough of the Toom garlic dip or the Lindt pistachio truffles.

It's April, which means spring is finally here. Thankfully, Costco is carrying lots of great items that are reminiscent of warm weather.

As someone who has been shopping at the wholesale retailer for over 20 years, I love browsing the aisles for everything from delicious snacks to outdoor essentials.

Here are eight items that caught my eye this month.

The Mac Sports double camping chair is perfect for outdoor activities.

The Mac Sports double camping chair ticks all the boxes for outdoor fun. It's big enough for two people and even has a cup holder on each side for added convenience.

I picked one up, but it's so comfy and high-quality that I'm tempted to grab another, as I can see them flying off the shelves.

I can't get enough of the Toom garlic dip.

The Toom garlic dip is loaded with flavor.

This Lebanese garlic dip is so good, I could eat it off the spoon. Toom packs a big punch, loaded with fresh garlic flavor and a zesty, creamy bite.

My family likes to have it on chicken shawarma wraps, salads, or as a snack with pita and carrots.

I love the La Croix summer variety pack.

This La Croix variety pack comes with three tasty flavors.

La Croix's summer variety pack is back, and the flavors are bright, fun, and delicious. My favorite is the Guava São Paulo, but the Black Razzberry and Beach Plum are also super tasty.

The Spanglish Asadero pollo asado seasoning is perfect for grilling.

The Spanglish Asadero pollo asado seasoning is made with garlic, smoked chile, sea salt, and other spices.

As grilling season kicks off, I know the Spanglish Asadero pollo asado seasoning is going to be a staple in our house.

It has a traditional mix of garlic, smoked chile, sea salt, and other spices that will pair nicely with chicken or grilled veggies.

The Braga Farms blueberry basil salad looks delicious.

I'm looking forward to trying the Braga Farms blueberry basil salad.

During my last trip to the store, the Braga Farms blueberry basil salad kit caught my eye.

Although I haven't yet tasted it for myself, I think this sweet and earthy salad will make the perfect light lunch or dinner. I could see it going really well with chicken (or your favorite protein).

I finally got to try The Only Bean edamame.

The Only Bean edamame is the perfect snack.

The bags of The Only Bean edamame have sold out a few times at my local Costco, so I've been patiently waiting to try them.

However, these were definitely worth the wait. They're crispy, crunchy, and roasted, making them feel light.

They fulfill that textural need for a crunchy, salty treat, and are a good substitute for potato chips.

The Lindt pistachio truffles are perfect for spring.

I love the Lindt pistachio truffles.

Pistachio is perfectly suited for spring with its earthy undertones and green hue. These creamy, nutty, not-too-sweet Lindt pistachio truffles are absolutely poppable.

I want to try the Snapdragon ramen and pho.

During a recent trip to Costco, I noticed two types of Snapdragon noodles: Vietnamese pho and ramen.

I'm looking forward to trying these. If the flavor is as bold as its branding, I think I'm in for a real treat.
