I've worked at Costco for 19 years and am always keeping an eye out for the best new items.
This month, shoppers seem to be loving the Igloo cooler bags and Casual Living throw blankets.

As a Costco employee of 19 years, I love scanning the shelves for great new finds. This month, the retailer is stocking lots of fun items, from tasty snacks to home essentials.

Here are nine things I recommend checking out at Costco this March.

Prices and product availability may vary by location.

One of the newest items in Costco's bakery is the tiramisu cheesecake.

A mix of two classic desserts, this decadent cold-brew cheesecake has a crust made from graham crackers and cocoa powder. Like tiramisu, it's also topped with mascarpone.

This seasonal item is available for $24 at my store.

The Brio bottom-loading watercooler looks like it could be a great investment.

With warmer days approaching, March is a great time to think about investing in a new watercooler.

The Brio bottom-load watercooler can dispense hot, cold, and room-temperature water and holds up to 5 gallons. I also love the sleek digital controls on this compact appliance.

At my store, this item retails for $200.

The That's It mini fruit bars are great for kids and adults.

If you're looking for a grab-and-go snack, I recommend checking out the That's It mini fruit bars. They make a great treat for adults and kids and contain no added sugar.

Each bag contains strawberry, mango, and blueberry bars, and costs $14.

This month, Costco is carrying some great items for entertaining, including the Sabatier build-a-board bamboo serving tray.

The tray, which comes with a locking lid, has six compartments for easy snack transportation. I think it would be great for taking a charcuterie board to go.

This item is available for $20 at my store.

Shoppers are loving the chic Igloo cooler bags.

The chic new Igloo cooler bags caught my eye when I saw them in the store.

These stylish bags, which come in black and brown, can fit two bottles of wine. However, the divider inside is removable, so it's easy to transport any beverage.

This item costs $20 at my store and has been a hot seller.

I think the boxes of Essentia water are a great value.

My store currently carries a 24-pack of Essentia alkaline water, which is on sale for $14 through March 29. After checking out the prices at other local grocers, this was by far the best deal I saw.

After the sale ends, the box of 24 bottles will sell for $18.

Tetris Tumble XL is a fun take on the classic game.

At my store, this item retails for $100.
