Costco Membership - Over $50 in Savings - New Members Only

I love you, Costco

Hmm, moms membership expired in November. I wonder if she could get this? I would just get it in my name but I don't have a job right now.

Quote from dean_siu : I'm assuming its the same as it was previously....other coupons include $3 off canned chicken, $3 off tuna, $5 off meat, $5 off baked pizza, $10 off glasses, and a couple of others I can't remember

We need to spent $55 out of pocket and then get the coupon booklet which include set of products. I am vegetarian so all chicken and fish product is of no use to me and i do not spent my money on bottled water so i will pass this deal.

Few year back, when SAMS club was providing $20 gift card to join them, i took it and got one year membership for $20. I will wait such cash back deal.

Thanks OP for posting it.

Let me say first my wife and I love costco. While some items may be more expensive many of the prices are unbeatable. Some of the better items to buy from costco where I live are meat, batteries, baked goods ( there bakery is excellent). Shopping at costco is not like other stores, They let you return just about anything. I live in ny and have a family costco has saved me thousands in baby stuff like diapers and formula. When you buy a product at costco it may not be the cheapest but you will get a very excellent product for the money. As for the single guy your best bets at costco include bear, liquor, frozen foods, and if your out and want a very cheap but tasty lunch try the food they make themselves. Here is the bottom line for me I can pay a dollar or two less for a steak if it's on sale at the supermarket but the costco meat is always better and the price is better than superrmaket when not on a really good sale. Costco also offers a ton of services most people never find out about thru their website. I get my credit protection from costco. I booked my honeymoon threw costco to punta canna and it was cheaper than any travel website. You can buy cars threw costco get home loans and more. For 55/110 depending on membership (I have the executive for 110) it's the best money you can spend in my opinion. Many people don't know this but costco will refund the difference on the executive membership if your reward is less than the 55 it cost, so really the executive membership is free always after buying the regular membership. On a side note costco is an example of what companies in this country should be, it pays it's employees a decent living wage and benefits unlike wallymart.

i just want to use their gas. can i sign up for their ae costo gas card with no membership?

Just like everything else, they are trying to get consumers "subscribed" and needing them, so they can gradually increase "customer surcharge fees" on all their subscribtions, and/ or add "cancellation fees" to the terms and conditions that update twice a month.

Quote from pinkertonfloyd : Meh.. Costco isn't the deal it used to be... I was a member back in the Price Club Days (Price Club WAS the Slickest of Deals). Costco lives off the fact people don't shop. Many times you'll find better deals if you look around. Also Costco sells stuff "made to Costco standards". Basically Stripped Down...

But the hot dogs man!!!!!!

I actually went to Ikea yesterday. They have 50 cent hot dogs, but f**k that shit!

It's REALLY annoying how they push the Executive Membership, and tell you that you'll get the money back if you don't save it... (except there are exceptions... which they'll use when you try to ask about it... I calculated that I only saved $20 with it once, and they basically fired back that I "saved" money using their gas... Which as someone else stated isn't any cheaper than Arco/Safeway, etc... Anyhow, I didn't renew last year... I do have Sams... it's cheaper, the pricing is basically the same or better. Sams is more of a stock-up store... Costco sells a lot of the designer (of course made to Costco specs) one-time buy store. Basically... If I see something at Costco, I'll just have a friend get me in... in 18 months without... I havent found anything I couldn't find at Sams or Amazon, or elsewhere for less.

I think you are way off base costco products aka kirkland brand are rated as the number 1 store brand in america and costco is rated number with it's customers nationwide.

I would like to state I don't work for costco but it absolutely is my favorite store.

You can buy gas from Costco without a membership if you have an American Express card and pay with that. I've been doing it for years and have never been a Costco member.

Welcome to Costco. I love you.





Went to Costco a few days ago, Huggies diapers are on sale as well as Huggies wipes, not a bad price when compared to Amazon... Still using Pampers, but will eventually get to the larger sizes that I bought in Huggies...

Quote from BitterYouth : I've always wondered whether a Costco membership is worth it for a single, young grad student. Thoughts?

Depends on if you use certain things regularlly.

One thing that you save alot on is allergy medicines. I know people who take zyrtec or allergra quite alot. The costco brand zyrtec is 16$ for 365 tablets... compared to in pharmacy prices and the allegra is 30$ for 180 tablets.... the savings on that alone will pay for membership and then some.

What's the expiration on this offer?
