Now that it’s getting cooler, it’s time to stock up your pantry with some fall finds from Costco.
And yes, that may include candy. Remember to buy some for trick-or-treaters in your neighborhood and perhaps a little something for you if there’s a good deal.
These budget-friendly October Costco deals can help get you into the spirit of the season and fight back the rising cost of groceries. But, they only last through Oct. 23, so don’t delay.
