Why become a Costco member?

I love Costco — I’ve been a member for more than 24 years. I do much of my household shopping there. It’s my go-to store for paper towels, garbage bags and laundry detergent. It’s also where I stock up on groceries such as milk, coffee and eggs (they’re much cheaper at Costco than at my local supermarket). Costco is a great place to stock up on wine too. I recommend Kirkland Signature™ brand boxed wines — it’s a solid combination of high quality and low price.

I also make sure to pick up a rotisserie chicken when I’m at Costco. It makes a great dinner entree, with plenty left over for making sandwiches or chicken salad the next day. And the price can’t be beat — you could wind up paying way more buying a whole chicken to roast at home.

Costco is a great place to find household goods — think furniture, small appliances, bedding and more. And Costco extends the warranty on select electronics to two years at no added cost.

When I need gas, I stop at the station attached to my local warehouse. The price there is typically cheaper than nearby stations. Don’t be discouraged by the long lines — most Costco gas stations have more pumps than your average gas station. Lines move quickly.

And, of course, every time I visit Costco I stop by the food court. It’s hard to go wrong with the $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combo. Try it the next time you visit. Or take a fresh-baked $10 pizza home for the whole family.

A Costco Gold Star Membership is $60 per year. Join online as a new Costco member and enroll in auto renewal of your annual membership to receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card. This promotion expires August 4, 2024.

Why I love Costco:

• Grocery essentials I need at a great price.
• A great place to find new snacks and treats, including local favorites.
• Regular savings on essentials like vitamins, coffee and detergent.
• High quality standards, especially when it comes to its own Kirkland Signature brand.
• Just about anything is available at Costco — even bars of gold and silver coins.

If you want to take your Costco savings to the next level, I recommend upgrading to a Costco Executive Membership. An Executive Membership is an additional $60 upgrade fee per year, but you’ll start earning a 2% Reward on qualified Costco purchases, including vacations purchased through Costco Travel. The annual 2% Reward is mailed with your renewal notice, two months before the renewal date.

A Costco Executive Membership is $120 per year. Join online as a new Executive Member and enroll in auto renewal of your annual membership to receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card and a promo code for $60 off a Costco.com order of $200 or more.*

Why I love the Costco Executive Membership:

• If you spend more than $3,000 on qualified purchases at Costco per year, you will receive more than $60 for your Reward.
• If you’re not satisfied with your Costco Executive Membership, you can convert your membership to a Gold Star Membership or cancel your membership at any time and get a refund.
