A Costco-Run Shopping List for Homeowners in March: 10 New Items To Get You Ready for Spring

by Dina Sartore-Bodo

As we transition into the warmer months, the "Costco run" takes on a whole new meaning for homeowners. 

Whether you are a seasoned DIY enthusiast or someone who considers changing a lightbulb a major victory, the warehouse is currently stocked with items that can bring luxury, functionality, and fun to your home.

Scouting the aisles at your local warehouse is part of the fun at Costco, and there are a number of items featured in March that offer genuine value to your daily home life.

From the backyard to the bedroom, here are some items that homeowners should check out if they’re looking to upgrade their space this spring. 

Artika's LED Fandelier, a DIY project for homeowners at Costco this month.

1. Artika 28” LED Fandelier

Price: $100.00 (On sale through month-end)

The "Fandelier" is a clever ceiling fan/chandelier hybrid that offers the airflow of a traditional fan with the polished look of a high-end light fixture. 

The 28-inch model seen in warehouses features an integrated LED light and a quiet motor, controlled entirely by a remote. 

In a bedroom, an overhead fan is essential because it allows for consistent air circulation, which can lower the temperature of a room by several degrees. This means you can nudge your thermostat up in the summer, saving on energy bills without sacrificing comfort. 

Because the blades are more compact than traditional 52-inch fans, this would work best in a primary bedroom or a guest suite where space might be tight. 

Trinity Utility Sink with Pullout Faucet

2. Trinity Utility Sink with Pullout Faucet

Price: $289.99 (Current warehouse price)

This NSF-certified stainless steel sink is a powerhouse, constructed from 16-gauge steel and featuring a 1.8 GPM pull-out faucet. 

Homeowners might find use for this in their "wet mudroom" or laundry rooms, as it’s deep enough for everything from rinsing off clothes to washing the family dog. 

If you are thinking about your laundry room, replacing a flimsy plastic utility tub with a professional-grade stainless steel fixture will not only instantly upgrade the aesthetics of your space, but also be far easier to clean. 

It is much more durable for heavy-duty cleaning tasks, and the included protector grid ensures the basin stays scratch-free even when you are scrubbing garden tools or soaking greasy grill grates.

Shark StainForce Cordless Portable Spot & Stain Remover

3. Shark StainForce Cordless Portable Spot & Stain Remover

Price: $149.99

Spring cleaning is about to ramp up, and this Shark StainForce could be the saving grace for some of the tougher messes in your home. 

This cordless system uses a low-moisture spray to break down odors and stains without oversaturating your carpets or upholstery. 

While it does seem powerful, the best way to use this item is as a "first responder" tool. Tougher, set-in stains would probably be no match for this.

But because it is cordless and requires no complex setup, you can grab it the moment a glass of red wine hits the rug or a pet has an accident. By treating the fibers immediately with the powerful suction and concentrated formula, you prevent the liquid from reaching the carpet pad, which is often where permanent odors reside.

First Alert Talking Smoke & CO Alarm

4. First Alert Talking Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Two-Pack)

Price: $64.99 (After $15 discount)

Safety is the ultimate investment, and this 10-year battery-operated two-pack offers a unique "talking" feature that identifies the specific threat and its location. 

When an alarm goes off in the middle of the night, having a voice tell you exactly where the danger is can save precious seconds. 

Safety aside, installing high-quality, long-lasting detectors is a basic requirement for home appraisals and insurance compliance. 

 First Alert Fire Extinguisher

5. First Alert Heavy Duty Fire Extinguisher

Price: $39.99

While we hope you never need to use it, a fire extinguisher is a critical item to have in high-risk areas like the kitchen or the garage.

This heavy-duty, marine-grade fire extinguisher promises that it exceeds NFPA standards and features a chemical-resistant label with clear instructions. 

Genius COOL Retractable Screen Door

6. Genius COOL Retractable Screen Door

Price: $169.99

With the warmer months fast approaching, you’ll want to open up the windows and doors. 

This retractable screen fits standard single or double doors, providing bug-free ventilation when needed and disappearing into a rust-resistant aluminum housing when not in use. 

The best part is that the quick-snap track requires no cutting for standard openings and can be installed in about 30 minutes. It’s a DIY project almost anyone can handle. 

Costco 5-Gallon Bucket

7. Costco 5-Gallon Bucket (Three-Pack)

Price: See local warehouse for latest pricing

The humble 5-gallon bucket is perhaps the most underrated tool in the homeowner’s arsenal. 

And it’s probably why these sell out so quickly every spring! 

This three-pack is essential for the upcoming spring cleaning and gardening season. The best way to use these is for "zoning" your chores. Dedicate one for carrying hand tools around the yard, one for mixing cleaning solutions for the siding or deck, and one for collecting weeds or debris as you move around your property.

Cedarcraft Planter

8. Landscaping Essentials: Miracle-Gro and Cedarcraft Planter

Bundle price: $11.99 (potting mix), $24.99 (fertilizer), $149.99 (planter)

Spring means getting back into the yard for some homeowners, and there are a few items perfect for those who love to landscape.

By using the organic potting mix and the "Shake 'n Feed" fertilizer, you ensure that your seasonal flowers or herbs have the nutrients they need to look lush all spring and summer long.

And for those who don’t have a yard, or are looking to keep some of their plants separated, the planter is functional and fairly well built. 

Scepter Smart Control 5-Gallon Gas Can

9. Scepter Smart Control 5-Gallon Gas Can

Price: $18.99

With gas prices at an all-time high, it might seem odd to be talking about a gas can.

But for those who have gas-powered lawnmowers or generators, this more modern can features a squeeze-controlled flow rate and a rear handle for easier pouring. This is an essential buy for homeowners, as spilling gasoline on your lawn or garage floor isn't just messy; it’s a fire hazard and can kill your grass instantly. 

Keter Ultimate Work Table

10. Keter Ultimate Work Table

Price: $49.99

This folding workbench supports up to 1,000 pounds but collapses down to just over 4 inches thick. 

For the average homeowner, the best way to use this table is as a portable station for any project that is too messy for the kitchen counter.

Whether you are painting a birdhouse, repairing a leaky faucet, or potting plants, having a stable, waist-high surface that you can set up in seconds—and then tuck away behind a shelf—is a game changer for small-space living.
