Costco really has it all. If you're shopping on a budget, you can score deals on tons of bulk items — think everything from fresh produce and frozen goods to beauty staples. But one area where Costco really shines? Home products!

I've been a member for several years and whether I'm shopping online or at my local New Jersey warehouse, I'm never hard-pressed to find great towels, organizing essentials, small appliances and decor to complete my space. So to help you out, I've rounded up some of the best home items at Costco that are worth adding to your cart. And while you're at it, you might want to consider designing a "Costco Closet" to store all of your bulk goodies. Apparently, it's a thing these days!

I've purchased many throws from Costco and have always been delightfully surprised by the quality. This machine-washable pick is 60" x 70" and the ribbed detail makes it look way more expensive than it is. Use it to lounge on the couch, fold it at the foot of your bed, or wrap yourself up in it to get lost in a good book.

Fans are another great item to look out for at Costco. You can enjoy this model's five different speeds that can be operated with a remote control.
