After working at Costco for 19 years, I totally get why the store is the leading retailer in customer satisfaction. From the store's rotating stock of home goods to the new food items constantly hitting the shelves, I'm never bored while browsing Costco's aisles.

This month, the store is carrying new food items as well as merchandise that would make great gifts for the holidays. Here are 10 things I recommend checking out at Costco this November.

Prices may vary by location.

Enhance an office or living space with the Pure Enrichment easy-fill humidifiers.

If you're looking to combat dry air in your home, you might want to give the Pure Enrichment easy-fill humidifiers a try.

The two-pack bundle includes 20 aromatherapy scent pads, two decalcification filters, and two cleaning brushes.

This Pure Enrichment humidifier bundle is $60 at my Costco.

The Bella ceramic griddle with a warming tray is great for making big meals.

You can prepare food for the whole family at once with the Bella ceramic griddle. This device can hold up to 15 eggs or pancakes and even has a dishwasher-safe warming tray.

The griddle, which has a 12-by-22-inch cooking surface, also comes with a drip tray and a removable temperature-control probe so you can clean smarter, not harder.

At my store, the Bella ceramic griddle with a warming tray is $40.

This month, I recommend checking out Costco's take-and-bake pizzas.

Costco's take-and-bake pizzas are brand new in my store's deli department.

Customers can choose from either a combo pizza (made with slow-aged pepperoni, Italian sausage, fire-roasted peppers, onions, and shredded mozzarella) or a Margherita-style pie (made with mozzarella, slow-roasted tomatoes, and Kirkland Signature basil pesto).

You can't go wrong with either flavor. The take-and-bake pizzas cost about $17 at my location.

Upgrade a charcuterie board with the Veroni salame set.

Charcuterie boards can be expensive, but this month, Costco has a great deal on the Veroni salame tray.

This assortment comes with five different flavors — including soppressata, Toscano, Calabrese, Milano, and pepper salames — imported from Italy.

My Costco sells 12-ounce packages of the Veroni salame tray for $12 each.

Deep clean your home or car with the Rubbermaid power scrubber five-piece kit.

Deep cleaning around the house or in the car might be easier with the Rubbermaid power scrubber kit.

The scrubber, which comes with four brush attachments, has a pulse setting and an oscillating head for quick, easy cleaning.

At my Costco, the Rubbermaid power scrubber kit is $20.

The Pokémon Paldean Fates mini tins and promo cards would be a great gift for the holidays.

Recently, customers have been calling my Costco location asking about the viral Pokémon mini tins and promo cards assortment.

This set, which contains five Paldean Fates mini tins, four foil promo cards, 10 booster packs, and five sticker sheets, would make a great gift for a collector.

My location is selling the Pokémon mini tins and promo cards for $38.

When I need a quick meal, I reach for the Delimex Cocina chicken-poblano-queso burrito bowls.

If you're looking for a quick yet tasty Mexican-inspired meal, you'll probably enjoy the Delimex Cocina burrito bowls.

Each bowl includes chicken breast with rib meat, roasted peppers, rice, and pinto beans topped with spicy jalapeño-queso sauce and Monterey Jack.

The Mexican-inspired meal also has 26 grams of protein per serving, so it keeps me full. At my store, a box containing five burrito bowls is $15.

The Frye ladies' patterned cardigans are comfy and stylish.

Costco carries lots of name-brand clothing throughout the year, so I wasn't surprised when I saw these cute Frye ladies' patterned cardigans.

Customers can choose between green with a black design or tan with a white pattern — but if you ask me, both are worth buying. The cozy sweaters come in sizes small to 2XL and cost $20 at my store.

Prepare for colder weather with the Orvis cozy luxe throw.

As winter approaches, the Orvis cozy luxe throw blankets have become pretty popular at my location.

These throw blankets come in plaid patterns and are available in a few different colors, including blue and red. Each blanket is $20 at my location.

If you're looking for a tasty dessert, you might want to try the Five Peak s'mores bars.

The Five Peak s'mores bars have hit the shelves at select Costco locations.

These individually wrapped bars, made with an oat-based crust, marshmallow filling, and chocolate drizzle, make a perfect snack or dessert. I also love that these bars are made without high-fructose corn syrup.

A 24-count box is $12.50 at my Costco.
