    Stock up on snacks and save money at Costco this fall. Your pantry is packed with Halloween candy and your fridge is full of pumpkin spice everything. If you’ve had your fill of autumn-inspired treats, check out the warehouse club’s other sweet, salty, and savory snacking deals right now.

    While some of these bargains are seasonal, they don’t all scream “fall.” But they will all keep hunger at bay. And at Costco’s low prices, these snacks won’t break the bank.

    Costco Secrets: 7 genius hacks all Costco shoppers should know

    1. Gourmet Nut Power Up Autumn Blend Trail Mix

    Price: $9.99

    You're in luck if you want a snack with subtle fall flavors. This “Autumn Blend” trail mix doesn’t pack the same potent pumpkin punch of a PSL.

    Instead, you’ll get a flavorful blend of spiced pecans, almonds, dried cranberries, cinnamon sweet potato bits, pumpkin seeds, and yogurt chips.

    Compare Costco’s low $9.99 price for 22 ounces to over $11 for 13 ounces of Gourmet Nut’s antioxidant-rich version on Amazon.

    Money tips that can work for everyone

    No matter what your bank account balance is, there's always an opportunity to optimize and improve your finances. Here's a quick checklist of things you can look at today.

    Focus on paying off your debt. Debt can hold you back from making progress with your overall financial well-being. Aside from cutting expenses, there are tools that can help you pay off debt faster like balance transfer credit cards and debt counseling.

    Earning extra income can give you breathing room. If finances are tight, earning some extra money to supplement your income can make a huge difference. A new job is one option to consider, but if you're not ready to make a big change or already retired, a part-time side job could be a better choice.

    Cut your expenses. It sounds painful and so not fun, but it doesn't have to be. Take a look at your biggest expenses because that's where you'll probably find the biggest savings. For example, auto insurance rates have been soaring so shopping around for a new insurance company can be the fastest way to cut your bill. Also, look for ways to cut your grocery bill (despite rising inflation).
