I'm a huge Costco fan who's been shopping at the store for over 20 years.
On a recent trip to the store, I saw lots of great items for summer entertaining.
I really enjoyed some of the snacks I found, including the Fruit Riot sour grapes.

Summer prep is in full swing at Costco, with delicious snacks and essentials for outdoor entertaining hitting the shelves.

As a diehard Costco fan of over 20 years, a few items caught my eye during a recent visit to the warehouse. Here are nine items I recommend checking out this month.

The Sonoma Creamery pepperoni pizza crisps look delicious.

I'm always on the lookout for a new snack to add to my rotation, so as a pizza lover, these Sonoma Creamery crisps caught my eye.

Their crispy, cheesy edges look like they'd give the perfect satisfying crunch, and I'm very excited to try them.

I grabbed a box of Titan ice packs to prepare for warm summer days.

For those gearing up to spend the summer outside, I highly recommend checking out the Titan high-performance ice packs. These are ideal for keeping your beverages cool during long days in the sun.

I snagged the multi-pack for my family, and thankfully, they don't take up much freezer space since they're foldable.

The Fruit Riot sour grapes are my new favorite snack.

I've been seeing lots of buzz about Fruit Riot on social media, so I was very excited to find the brand's sour grapes at my local Costco.

Each bag contains frozen grapes covered in lemon juice and a sour candy coating. Although it may sound odd, believe me when I say these are worth the hype.

I'll definitely be snacking on these treats by the pool all summer long.

The Core FlexRail folding table is perfect for outdoor gatherings.

As the days get longer, I'm looking for any excuse to gather friends and enjoy a meal outside. Although the Core FlexRail folding table is on the heavier side, it's extremely versatile.

Half the table can be used for meal prep, while the other half has a heat-resistant surface, perfect for placing a portable grill. It also has a paper towel holder, cupholders, and a space to hang a garbage bag.

In my opinion, it seems like the perfect option for barbecues and tailgates.

I'm excited to try the Sun Tropics dragon fruit and guava juice.

I seriously cannot wait to try the Sun Tropics 100% dragon fruit and guava juice. When I was at Costco, I saw lots of people grabbing it, and I was intrigued by the unique flavor combination.

I'd love to pour it into a Popsicle mold for a cooling summer treat.

The Igloo MaxCold cooler is perfect for outdoor activities.

Igloo's MaxCold foam-insulated roller cooler is the ideal size for a camping trip or beach day. With easy-to-navigate wheels, it looks like it would make transporting beverages simple.

The Solely fruit jerky is like an adult version of a Fruit Roll-Up.

I first fell in love with Solely fruit jerky when I discovered that each flavor is made with just one ingredient. So, when I saw Costco's newest variety pack with mango and pineapple strips, I knew I had to pick up a box.

These are like the adult version of Fruit Roll-Ups: chewy, light, and packed with a ton of fruit. Honestly, I could probably eat the entire pack in one sitting.

I loved the Brentwood Originals indoor/outdoor pillows.

I was immediately drawn to the Brentwood Originals pillows, which can be used either inside or outside.

These versatile pillows come in four different designs and are UV- and weather-resistant, making them perfect for porches, patios, and everything in between. My family is already planning to grab a few on our next Costco run.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Pho'nomenal Foods ripened jackfruit chips.

During my last trip to Costco, I picked up a bag of the Pho'nomenal Foods freeze-dried ripened jackfruit chips. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they surprised me in the best way.

They have a bright tropical flavor but aren't overly sweet, and the light crunch makes them super snackable.
