 🪪 Huge Costco Membership Deal!

If you’re a fan of my “10 Things You Need To Buy At Costco” videos, but have yet to get a membership of your own, there is a limited-time Costco membership deal that you’re not going to want to miss!

You’ll find a 1-year Gold Star or Executive Costco Membership at the usual $65–$130 price, but with some big bundled perks:

  • You’ll get a FREE $50 Digital Costco Shop Card, valid in-store or online (emailed within 2 weeks of sign-up).

  • Executive Members also get a $100 promo code good on a $200+ Costco.com order, valid through August 31, 2025 (online only).

It is important to note that these bonus offers are not stackable with other promotions (so please read the deal terms) and all digital cards or codes are emailed separately after sign-up.

Click here to get the deal. You must redeem your new membership ONLINE prior to arriving at a Costco location.

✍🏼 SHARE YOUR SAVINGS!

Here are some recent subscriber submitted money-saving tips:

Bob from Omaha: “The hack I use all the time is creating virtual credit cards through privacy.com.  These work fantastically for trial services (Netflix, Peacock, Hello Fresh, etc) as you can set them up for one time use, or set a total spend on them and, once it's met, the card expires… The best part?  It's free :)”

Karen from Colorado: “I am purchasing a lot of stuff because our house burned down last Fall and we're replacing everything. I've learned to google reviews for an unfamiliar company before purchasing anything and it has really helped.“

Aspen from Tampa: “Go to all of your subscriptions > Cancel now > See if they offer a promotional offer in the UI. Set a reminder to do it again after the promotional period.”
