As if I needed any more convincing to sign up for a Costco membership, it’s come to my attention that Costco has an impressive selection of name-brand home, fashion, and kitchen products that are available on their website for a fraction of their retail value. But here’s the kicker: They’re only sold online. In a recent Reddit thread, Costco members dropped their favorite online-only purchases—when I spotted the Birkenstock sandals, I knew I was hooked. Here are a few other items that caught my eye.

This compact rice cooker has four consistency modes (fluffy, soft, chewy, or sticky) and can whip up to six cups of rice at a time. Moreover, it also has menu options for sushi, porridge, quinoa, and steel-cut oats. It retails for $100 online.

“Can’t believe these are not displayed/sold in store,” said one Redditor. “Wow, [it] makes perfect jasmine rice.”

Costco members swear by Nellie’s Laundry Soda, an unscented powder for dirty clothes. The highly concentrated formula is free of phosphates and fragrances, plus it’s hypoallergenic. A single bucket supports 400 loads for only $55—that’s only 14 cents per load!

3M Ultra Allergen Reduction Deep Pleat 4″ Filter

Replacing my AC filters is definitely a to-do task that falls off my radar, which is something I need to get on top of to lower my risk of getting sick! As it turns out, you’re supposed to change your air filters every six to 12 months.

According to Costco members, the 3M Ultra Allergen Reduction Deep Pleat 4″ Filter is the best in the game. It uses “high performing electrostatic technology” to filter and “proactively capture dust, bacteria, germs, viruses and allergens in your air,” per the product page. A two-pack costs $35 and Costco only sells them online, not in-store.

“I bought two boxes because the price was amazing,” said one shopper in the thread. Another user agreed, noting “[this is the] cheapest I’ve found.”

The filters come in a variety of sizes and dimensions to fit your personalized needs.

Hero Mighty Patch

If you’re a fellow acne-prone skin warrior (hi, I see you!), you need to try Hero Mighty Patch. The invisible patches are infused with hydrocolloid and suck out all the gunk from active breakouts. Not only does this boost the healing process, but it protects pimples from picking and probing.

Costco has an 84-count box for $25 online, which is an impressive deal. In comparison, Amazon sells 36-count packs for $13 each.

Caskets

Yup, you read that right. Costco has a limited collection of caskets for sale, ranging from $1,350 to $1,600.

“Not to be morose…but my Dad absolutely loved going to Costco, so when he died, we bought the casket from Costco.com. It was a very surreal experience,” shared a Costco member.

“It’s great value. Those things work so great,” wrote one Reddit user.
