With so many fantastic options at Costco, it can be difficult to know where to start and which ones to add to your cart; that’s where advice from superfans comes in handy. Of course, starting with bestsellers is never a bad idea, but there are also tons of amazing products that oftentimes don’t get the recognition they deserve—especially when it comes to online exclusives. Luckily, the Costco subreddit is a goldmine of recommendations from frequent shoppers of this beloved warehouse store.

Earlier this year, one Reddit user asked a great question: “Anyone have any lesser known/underrated items that are only available on Costco.com and not in warehouse that they want to share?” they wrote. “Every so often I stumble upon something on the website that I had no idea they sold, and it makes me wonder what else I’m missing!”

Fellow Costco fans delivered with some great suggestions. Below, we’ve rounded up a few of these “underrated” and often overlooked products, from fragrances to sewing machines. Check ’em out!

60+ Gift Ideas For Everyone On Your List
costco gift cards

1. Gift Cards

Gift cards aren't just for gifting! As it turns out, purchasing gift cards from Costco can be a fantastic way to save at all of your go-to stores and restaurants. That's because they're sold at discounted prices. And according to one Reddit user, there's an even wider selection available online than in Costco stores. They wrote that you'll find "a lot more gift cards at your favorite places."

"I go to Dominos quite a bit, and buy the $100 Dominos gift cards for $79.99, essentially making everything 20% off," they said. Amazing! We're definitely hopping on this deal.

2. Fragrances

If you're searching for a signature scent or just something new to try out, don't sleep on Costco's fragrance selection. "I like their fragrances online," one commenter wrote. "Recently picked up some that were more affordable than elsewhere."

There are amazing, high-end options available for both men and women on Costco's website. That includes varieties from La Labo, Maison Margiela, Hermes, and loads more. (P.S., this makes a great gift to consider for your holiday shopping needs!)

3. Nellie's Laundry Products

Costco makes a great one-stop shop for all of your home essentials, and that includes all of your laundry needs. One comment raved about Nellie's Laundry products, which you can find on the Costco website.

"I recently discovered this product, and love it," they wrote. "Sadly, I didn't think Costco carried it, as I never saw it in the 2-day laundry offerings—and recently discovered there's a whole plethora of items that they sell. From wool balls to stain remover to laundry detergent in the huge buckets. They even have a starter pack of all items to 'sample'. Who knew?" Now we know!

costco sewing machines

4. Sewing Machine

Time to get crafty! Sewing is a great, practical hobby to pick up this winter, but you'll definitely need a great sewing machine to get started. If you've been wanting to invest in a good one, Costco has you covered with quality products from Janome, as one commenter shared.

Others expressed their excitement over this. "Had no idea about the sewing machine! How cool," one wrote. "Janome machines too, wow," another praised. Definitely worth looking into!
