If you’re on the hunt for the best deals at Costco right now, let me give you a peek at a few of the hottest deals you shouldn't miss year-round, as selected by our team of Costco deal hunters. I've even included price comparisons to show you just how much you're saving.
And the best part about shopping these deals at Costco? No physical coupons are required.
But as we always recommend, you'll want to shop these deals in store to get the absolute lowest prices. That's because Costco online shopping is more expensive than in-warehouse shopping (we cover this in our Costco price hacks article). And their online shopping gets even more costly if you order same-day delivery.

Great Deals You'll Always Find at Costco
1. Gift Cards
I’m a huge advocate for buying discounted gift cards whenever possible. It’s probably the most overlooked money-saving strategy out there.
And Costco is one of my favorite places to snatch up future savings with discounted gift cards. Especially gift cards I can use for restaurants and gaming purchases. Aim to buy $100 worth of gift cards for $79.99 (or cheaper) at Costco — an automatic savings of at least 20%.
Here are a few current Costco gift card deals:
Two AMC Movie Tickets and a $20 Gift Card, $39.99
$50 Cinemark eGift Card, $39.99 — 20% savings
Four $15 Cold Stone eGift Cards ($60 value), $47.99 — 20% savings
Four $25 Domino's eGift Cards ($100 value), $79.99 — 20% savings
Two $50 TopGolf eGift Cards ($100 value), $79.99 — 20% savings
Two $50 Uber eGift Cards ($100 value), $79.99 — 20% savings
KCL TIP: Costco's gift card savings get even better around Costco's multi-wave Black Friday sale and Cyber Monday.
2. Costco Rotisserie Chickens
You're getting a better price for your chicken at Costco compared to Walmart, and you’ll even pay a little less if you buy them cold (Costco's cold rotisserie chickens are $3.99 each).
Ever since 2009, Costco has made an effort to publicize their decision to keep chicken prices at $4.99, regardless of inflation. The company even built a $450 million poultry complex in Nebraska to help keep their rotisserie chicken prices low.
Costco: Rotisserie Chicken, $4.99 ($1.66/pound)
Walmart: Rotisserie Chicken, $5.97 ($2.65/pound)
3. Half-Sheet Cake
Tell me where else you can get a half-sheet cake filled with delicious mousse for $26.99. Spoiler alert: You can’t!
Half-sheet cakes at Walmart start at $42.96, and IMHO don’t even come close to the taste of Costco’s. The price per slice of a half-sheet cake from Walmart is nearly double the price of Costco's sheet cake prices.
Costco: Half-sheet cake, $26.99 (with filling)
Walmart: Half-sheet cake, $42.96 (no filling)
4. Hot Dog Combo at the Food Court
The hot dog combo is for sure one of the best things on Costco's food court menu when we’re talking about bang for your buck. And we determined that Costco's hot dogs are definitely larger than Sam's Club's hot dogs.
Costco hasn’t raised the price of their all-beef hot dog and fountain drink combo in 30 years — it's still sitting at just $1.50.
Costco Hotdog and Soft Drink Combo: $1.50
5. Organic Maple Syrup
Buying pure organic maple syrup is always going to be more expensive than standard syrup, no matter where you shop. And coupons for pure organic maple syrup are few and far between, making deals very rare.
But no other competitor comes close to Costco’s prices for organic syrup. Costco's organic syrup is actually 53% cheaper than Walmart's.
Costco: Organic Maple Syrup, 33.8 oz, $12.99 ($0.38/ounce)
Walmart: Organic Maple Syrup, 8.5 oz, $6.82 ($0.80/ounce)
6. Almond Butter
You can save $0.20 per ounce when you buy almond butter at Costco instead of Walmart. I’m picky about almond butter, but since I’m also picky about getting a good deal, I’ve searched all over for a brand that’s both reasonably priced and tastes good.
Since almond butter coupons are rare, I usually end up paying the regular price. But Costco has the best price, hands down.
Costco: Kirkland Signature Almond Butter, 27 oz, $5.99 ($0.22/ounce)
Walmart: Sam’s Choice Almond Butter, 12 oz, $4.98 ($0.42/ounce)
7. Walnuts
Costco’s chopped walnuts are cheaper than Walmart’s chopped walnut options. Instead of dishing out more for the same thing, plan to save 56% when you buy your walnuts at Costco instead of Walmart.
Costco: Kirkland Raw Walnut Halves, 3 lbs, $8.99 ($0.19/ounce)
Walmart: Great Value Chopped Walnuts, 8 oz, $3.47 ($0.43/ounce)
8. Frozen Berries
Stocking up on smoothie ingredients at Costco is one of my favorite meal prep hacks. Their 4-pound bag of Kirkland Signature Three Berry Blend is 23% cheaper per ounce when you compare it to similar frozen berries sold at Walmart.
Costco: Kirkland Three Berry Blend, 4 lbs, $10.99 ($0.17/ounce)
Walmart: Great Value Triple Berry Blend, 3 lbs, $10.74 ($0.22/ounce)
9. Basmati Rice in Bulk
As long as you have a place to store it, the 20-pound bags of Basmati rice are cheapest at Costco. You'll save $1.69 per bag (and $0.09 per ounce) if you stock up at Costco versus Walmart.
Costco: Royal Basmati Rice, 20 lbs, $19.29 ($0.96/lb)
Walmart: Royal Basmati Rice, 20 lbs, $20.98 ($1.05/lb)
