You Can Use Your Costco Membership to Score Major Vacation Deals

Here’s what you need to know before booking with Costco Travel.

Shopping at Costco probably conjures up visions of a crowded store with larger-than-life packages of household essentials and snacks. While booking a vacation may not come to mind, in reality, you can purchase travel — and often get great deals — through Costco using its in-house travel agency called Costco Travel.

Let’s take a look at what you can expect when you use Costco Travel to book your next vacation.

Costco Travel is Costco’s in-house travel agency.  It’s open to all Costco members, but a separate Costco Travel account must be made before booking. While anyone can look at the Costco Travel website, only members can see pricing and book travel.

It acts like other online travel agencies, allowing Costco members to book vacation packages, hotels, cruises, rental cars, and theme park tickets. You’ll notice that flights can’t be booked separately through Costco Travel (they must be part of a travel package).

Yes, you must have a Costco membership to use Costco Travel. There are two levels of Costco memberships, and either one will work. Gold Star membership costs $60 per year, while an Executive membership costs $120 per year.

The Executive membership may make sense to those who spend a lot at Costco because it earns 2% back each year, up to $1,000 per year, on qualifying Costco purchases, including Costco Travel. 

That means if you spend at least $3,000 per year at Costco (including in-store, online, and Costco Travel purchases), the Executive membership works out to be a better deal than the Gold Star membership.

Executive members are also eligible for extra benefits on select vacation packages. You’ll find these offers by going to the Costco Travel website and navigating to Deals>Member Specials>Executive Member Benefits . The benefits vary by package but can include things like a $100 spa credit, a $100 resort credit, a $100 shipboard credit, a private beach lunch, and more. These bonuses can easily be worth more than the price difference between Gold Star and Executive membership.

Ways to Book With Costco Travel

While you can book a hotel stay through Costco Travel, the options are limited unless the hotel is part of a vacation package. In fact, you’ll find some vacation destinations, including Maui, Cancun, and Punta Cana, that don’t offer any stand-alone hotels through Costco Travel.

If you do find a stand-alone hotel to book through Costco, remember that if it is part of a hotel loyalty program (like Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, or IHG), you likely won’t earn hotel points or elite night credits, and any status you have won’t be recognized. This makes booking these types of hotels through online travel agencies like Costco Travel unappealing for many travelers.

Costco Travel offers cruises on 11 cruise lines, including some of the industry’s most popular brands like Royal Caribbean, Disney Cruise Line, Norwegian, and Princess.

There are so many cruise booking websites out there, and they all offer relatively similar pricing. The differences come in the extra perks like drink packages, onboard credit, and, in the case of Costco Travel, complimentary Costco shop cards. The value of the shop card varies based on the cruise and room type but usually falls somewhere between $25 and $95 for shorter cruises and can be as high as $425 for longer cruises.

While Costco Travel can offer great deals on cruises, one of the downsides is that you can only search one month at a time. This could add some extra work for those who have flexibility in their travel dates and want to search for a wide variety of dates at one time.

Theme Parks

Costco members can also purchase Disney (U.S. locations only) and Universal Orlando vacation packages through Costco Travel. These packages include hotel accommodations and theme park tickets and will usually come with extras like early park admission, transportation, waived resort fees, or a food and beverage credit.

Rental Cars 

Booking a rental car through Costco Travel is straightforward with four rental car companies to pick from — Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise.

The search results are displayed in an easy-to-read grid format with the least expensive price for each car type shown in red. While this is excellent for someone who prefers simplicity, Costco Travel won’t necessarily always have the lowest price since it excludes so many car rental companies. 

Vacation Packages 

A Costco vacation package consists of a hotel with a flight and/or rental car. Packages are available for destinations all over North America as well as the South Pacific, Europe, and Africa. There are also specialty vacation packages available through a small collection of companies, including Contiki, Lion World Travel, Adventures by Disney , and Trafalgar Worldwide Guided Vacations.

Costco Travel vacation packages can offer tremendous savings over booking a hotel and flight separately, and they often come with extras like airport transfers and Costco shop cards. 

These shop cards vary in value and generally increase based on the cost of your vacation. We saw offers for Costco shop cards from about $150 all the way to over $900 for a one-week vacation package.

Some packages come with activities included in the price. While that might be a great deal for some, keep in mind that these activities may increase the price over what you’d pay by booking through another website or booking separately. 

Costco Travel can save you money, especially on vacation packages, but it’s smart to price out your vacation on multiple websites to ensure you’re getting the best price and package for your needs.

Everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money

Costco isn't just the place where you can buy toilet paper in bulk, inexpensive gas, cheap hot dogs and gift cards. You can also book great trips via the company's online travel agency, Costco Travel.

I know, I know: At TPG, we're often staunchly against booking travel through third-party sites , as there can be tradeoffs versus booking directly. But in recent years, I've become a big fan of the travel deals I can find via Costco Travel.

When planning our annual beach trip back in 2022, my best friend found a few options for Mexican all-inclusive resorts on Costco Travel and shared the links with me. I promptly told her we'd probably be better off booking directly and brushed off the idea of booking through Costco — neither of us even had a membership at the time.

However, comparing the prices and benefits at a few of the resorts proved my initial reaction wrong.

I actually got a Costco membership to book the deal since the cost of the membership was less than what we'd save by booking through Costco. We saved around $300 on a three-night stay at TRS Coral near Cancun (one of TPG's best all-inclusive resorts in Cancun ), not including the free hydrotherapy spa circuit and the $241 Digital Costco Shop Card included in the package.

Our stay was fantastic, and I officially became a Costco Travel convert.

If you're curious about how to use Costco Travel to find deals, here's everything you need to know about Costco Travel — and why I love it for saving money on travel.

What is Costco Travel?

All Costco members have access to the Costco Travel booking platform, where you can find and book a wide range of travel — from vacation packages to hotels, cruises and rental cars. You can even book theme park vacation packages to Disney and Universal or specialty vacations such as an African safari.

Once you log in to Costco Travel, you can search for specific dates or destinations or browse through available deals and featured destinations. I personally love perusing the limited-time deals when I know I want to plan a getaway but don't have a specific destination in mind.

Trips booked through Costco Travel are often discounted and/or include perks and benefits you may not get by booking directly or through other booking portals. Usually, a trip booked through Costco Travel will also include a Digital Costco Shop Card (essentially a type of Costco gift card) of varying value.

What travel can you book through Costco Travel?

You can book hotels, cruises, rental cars and vacation packages through Costco Travel. Vacation packages range from hotel-only offers to all-encompassing packages that include airfare, hotel stays and rental cars. You can even build your own package.

However, one thing to note is that you can't book stand-alone flights via Costco Travel. There is an option to book flights through some vacation packages, but if you're only looking for airfare, you'll want to head to Google Flights to check out your options and book.

You can book Costco Travel offers both online and by phone.

Do you have to be a Costco member to use Costco Travel?

Yes. Costco Travel is an exclusive service for Costco members.

There are two personal membership levels: Gold Star and Executive. Gold Star costs $60 per year, while an Executive membership costs $120. The basic membership will give you access to all of Costco's services, including Costco Travel, while the Executive membership also comes with a 2% reward on all Costco (and Costco Travel) purchases.

I've found that the Costco Travel deals alone are worth paying the $60 Gold Star annual membership fee, even though I don't regularly use Costco for my grocery store runs.

Check sites like Groupon for discount Costco memberships, as you can sometimes save on that rate — or get an included gift card that helps offset the cost.

Is Costo Travel worth it?

Costco Travel has its pros and cons, but there are definitely times when it's worth it.

For example, let's look at a five-night stay in Maui in early April. At the time of writing, Costco is currently offering a hotel and rental car package for Hotel Wailea, a Relais & Chateaux affiliated property and one of TPG's favorite Maui hotels .

Here's one cost comparison breakdown of Costco Travel's deal versus booking directly:

Even without including the additional benefits, you're already saving more than $400 via the Costco deal. Add in the value you get from the card, daily breakfast and resort credit (which is more than $1,000 in value if you maximize all benefits), and you're looking at $1,442.45 in savings by booking through Costco Travel versus directly.

And since Hotel Wailea isn't a member of any major hotel loyalty program, booking through Costco Travel wouldn't mean missing out on elite night credits or other loyalty program benefits.

Here's another example — this time for a Universal Orlando theme park trip from June 4-6 for one adult and two children from Houston. The total cost when booking each part (hotel, tickets and airfare) individually came to $2,701.35, while booking it as a package via Costco saved just over $300.

That's a fair amount of savings you could use for some frozen butterbeer or even a new wand inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter .

When is Costco Travel not worth it?

Not every offer on Costco is worth booking.

For one, you won't necessarily find the same availability on Costco Travel. For example, flights booked through Costco may have some seats blocked off, and certain dates for hotel stays may be unavailable. Additionally, not all rental car companies are bookable through Costco Travel (such as Hertz*, which is my preferred rental car company due to the perks I get through my Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card ).

Plus, some hotel stays have a minimum stay requirement. If you're on the hunt for a long weekend getaway, you may not be able to take advantage of some Costco Travel deals.

Even when you do find availability, you should always price-check what you can find by booking directly or through your credit card travel portal and hotel programs.

After booking our fantastic stay at TRS Coral just north of Cancun through Costco, I looked at booking through Costco again in 2023 when planning our annual beach vacation.

While Costco had a deal available for the same resort, we happened to be booking when the resort chain was having a Mother's Day sale for anyone booking directly. We were able to try out a new TRS resort closer to Playa Del Carmen, TRS Yucatan; we saved more than $100 on an even nicer suite than Costco Travel offered by booking directly (even when considering the Digital Shop Card we would have gotten by booking with Costco).

Something else to consider when booking hotels through Costco Travel is loyalty program rewards and elite status. There are a lot of hotels available to book through Costco Travel that are part of major loyalty programs, from Hyatt Honors to Marriott Bonvoy to IHG One Rewards and more. But booking through Costco Travel — just like booking through most other third-party services such as Expedia — means you likely won't earn loyalty rewards, elite night credits or have any elite night benefits honored.

You'll also have to use Costco customer service if you run into any issues rather than going directly to the brand. This is especially important when considering booking a vacation package that includes flights, given the higher potential for delays or cancellations.

Why I love Costco Travel

I am typically a staunch proponent of booking directly, but Costco Travel is an exception. I've found that the benefits I can get by booking some trips via Costco outweigh the cons (some of which include having to go through Costco for any customer service help or occasionally losing out on elite night credits).

Digital Costco Shop Cards

My favorite thing about booking trips through Costco Travel is the Digital Costco Shop Card I get after booking. The card's value varies from trip to trip (generally depending on how expensive the package you book), but you can get hundreds of dollars back to use at Costco.

The Digital Costco Shop Cards can be used for Costco warehouse purchases (a game changer with grocery prices so high due to inflation), but you can also use them toward future Costco Travel bookings. And remember — Costco doesn't just carry bulk grocery items. You could use a Digital Costco Shop Card to buy a new flat-screen TV for movie nights and game days, a new outdoor patio setup ahead of summer or even Costco Pharmacy prescriptions.

I admittedly don't use Costco for groceries often (buying in bulk doesn't make a lot of sense for someone who lives alone), but I have used shop cards to help pay for Christmas presents and future Costco Travel trips. I've actually been looking into using my most recent Digital Costco Shop Card on a new pair of AirPods and a new TV mount for my living room.

Deals on non-points hotel stays and all-inclusive resorts

When I'm looking at booking a hotel stay at a brand like Hyatt or Marriott, I generally choose to book directly in order to earn elite night credits and points. However, when looking at properties not part of a major loyalty program, Costco Travel is often a go-to anytime I can find a deal.

Costco Travel has a nice deals section, and I usually look there first if I'm not sold on a specific destination for a getaway. While deals found on Costco generally have a narrow booking window, I've found that many offer a lot of flexibility for the actual trip dates.

A few examples of limited-time deals for January include Hotel Wailea from the example earlier in this guide, all-inclusive resorts in Mexico's Riviera Maya, and Disney and Universal theme park packages.

Simplifying group vacations

I'm often the travel planner in my friend group (which makes sense, considering what I do for a living), but not everyone is an avid points and miles user like myself. For group trips where we're splitting the cost of hotel rooms among multiple people, it often doesn't make sense to use points and miles to book.

Costco Travel vacation packages offer a way for all of us to save money, and it makes narrowing down potential destinations and hotels easier. Rather than everyone having to spend hours researching ideas and prices from across the internet — which might be my idea of a fun Wednesday night but isn't for some of my friends — I typically just send them to Costco Travel to see if any of the featured deals catch their eye.

Having reservation information for multiple aspects of a trip, such as a hotel and rental car package, makes sharing and saving the itineraries a breeze.

Bottom line

Whether or not you currently have a Costco membership, you shouldn't dismiss Costco Travel as just another online travel agency.

If you know where to look and are willing to price-check the deals you find, you can save a lot of money with Costco Travel deals. I've personally had a lot of success booking friends getaways to popular destinations like Mexico through Costco. Using the service has helped me save on other expenses with the Digital Costco Shop Card I've gotten with my bookings.

For me, the $60 annual membership fee to Costco has been more than worth it to utilize Costco Travel.

*Upon enrollment, accessible through the Capital One website or mobile app, eligible cardholders will remain at upgraded status level through Dec. 31, 2024. Please note, enrolling through the normal Hertz Gold Plus Rewards enrollment process (e.g. at Hertz.com) will not automatically detect a cardholder as being eligible for the program and cardholders will not be automatically upgraded to the applicable status tier. Additional terms apply.

I visited Costco in Sydney while vacationing in Australia and was amazed at the fresh meats and the bulk quantities that were massive even by US standards

• Richard Truong is a software engineer in Pennsylvania who has been a Costco member since 2016.
• On a recent trip to Australia, Truong visited a Costco warehouse near Sydney to see the differences.
• He found an impressive meat selection and bulk sizing that was massive "even by US standards."

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Richard Truong. The following has been edited for length and clarity.

I work as a software engineer in Pennsylvania right now for a large insurance company, and I've been a member of Costco since 2016. I started taking lots of pictures of the signs and the prices because that's how I would budget my food expenses in college.

After checking out Costco on a recent trip to Japan , I traveled to Australia to visit family and also because Sydney's one of the most well-known Australian cities.

The Sydney Costco is about an hour west of town and I actually went to it accidentally.

I had gotten on a bus that I thought was headed downtown, but instead it took me an hour in the other direction, so I figured I'd just drop by this warehouse.

The first thing I noticed was the food court was right outside.

I think maybe in Southern California they sometimes have outside food courts, but this was the first time I'd seen one.

A lot of the items were huge – even by US standards.

Inside, there were actual barrels of vegetable oil that you can buy, and a lot of the items were just way more massive than I usually see in the US.

There was also a giant bucket of Chupa Chups lollipops for 184 Australian dollars, or about $118 US.

The small containers had 150 pops, while the jumbo bucket had 1,000.

These assorted KitKat flavors were a popular souvenir when I was in Japan.

There were unusual flavors like tiramisu, strawberry cheesecake, and creme brûlée that I'd never seen in the US.

There were a few familiar products in the electronics section.

These laptops were from US brands like HP and Dell.

There seemed to be more products geared toward commercial customers than I typically see.

There was lots of stuff that a business would buy, like contractors' tools, an "Open" sign, and a Square credit card terminal.

Appliance-wise, it was pretty much the same as what you see in the US.

Common brands I saw were Whirlpool and Samsung.

There was the familiar Tiger rice cooker.

I've seen the same one in Japan and the US.

The bakery had these items called chocolate lamingtons.

They're basically sponge cake covered with chocolate and coconut.

They had a cheesecake with lemon passion fruit on top that I'd never seen.

Usually the cheesecake is topped with strawberries in the US.

The meats were mostly local and they looked good. Very fresh and pretty massive.

If I'd had a hotel room with a kitchen, I would've actually considered buying some because they looked pretty good.

There were some meats that weren't cut.

You could buy a large portion of pork belly to process yourself.

A three-pack of these sashimi-grade rock lobsters cost 500 Australian dollars, about $320 US.

There was also Japanese Wagyu strip loin for 300 Australian dollars per kilo.

There was a new employee who was walking around, and even he seemed surprised by how large the food was.

He was just picking up random stuff from the freezer, like 18-counts of meat pies or 50-counts of chicken breasts, apparently amazed at the quantities.

There were cases of this Australian ginger beer that is pretty popular.

Some locations in the US sell Bundaberg too.

The Smith's chips are actually from a US company.

 If you notice the logo, it's similar to Lay's, PepsiCo's leading chip brand in the US.

Clothes were pretty similar to those sold in the US.

I saw Nike, Adidas, Calvin Klein, and more.

I knew Costco sold coffins but I'd never actually seen them displayed.

I always thought it'd be funny to buy a coffin from Costco – just to say I did. They looked nice, you know, for coffins.

They didn't accept cash in the food court, so I had to use my credit card.

Since Australian currency was actually a bit lower than ours, everything you see was basically 25% off if you used American dollars.

The food court had run out of the mango smoothie because it was actually closing time, so they gave me a taro tea instead.

It kind of tasted like grape yogurt, and was still pretty good.

I got the chicken burger and the Korean wings to eat.

The chicken burger was actually a bit smaller than the bun, which was kind of disappointing, but it still tasted good — crispy and fresh. The wings were breaded and came with a special sauce that was pretty good, too.

If I come back to Australia, I'd want to stay somewhere with a kitchen so I can cook.

I'd try the steak and the lamb, plus get a few bakery items like the Portuguese tarts – they're very delicious.

I've lived in Australia for years. Don't make these 8 mistakes when you visit — especially if you're an American like me.

Posted: April 28, 2024 | Last updated: April 28, 2024

• I'm from the United States and I've lived in Australia for a few years.
• Australia has norms US travelers won't be used to — for example, we don't pre-pay for gas here. 
• Australia's shops close earlier than they do in the US, and alcohol is more expensive.

I'm an American from Philadelphia who has spent the better part of four years living in and traveling through Australia .

With its over-$100-billion tourism industry , the country sees millions of visitors each year, many of them from the US like me. Although the US and Australia are similar in many ways, some significant differences could lead to misunderstandings or confusion.

If you choose to become one of these visitors, avoid making these common mistakes — especially if you're an American.

Thinking shops and cafés will be open past 5 p.m.

Although closing times for shops and cafés vary by region, I've found ones in Australia close much earlier than the places I visited in the US.

Here, it's common for retail shops to close by 5 p.m. and coffee shops even earlier, around 2 p.m.

It could be due to the comparably smaller population size reducing the demand for around-the-clock services and a general preference for a healthy work/life balance over excessive materialism.

If you do want to shop at night, you'll have to wait for "late-night shopping day," the one time a week when shops stay open until 9 p.m. instead of 5 p.m.

Expecting alcohol to be the same price as it is in the US

Australia has some of the highest taxes on spirits in the world . It's quite an isolated country, far from the places it imports a lot of its alcoholic products from, and you see that reflected in the prices.

Plus, wine is subject to a wine equalization tax (WET ) — about 29% of the wine's wholesale value — and may also be subject to the goods and services tax (GST).

Although choosing a locally brewed beer or homegrown wine is a more cost-effective option, don't be surprised if you see a bottle of spirits that would retail for $20 in the US being sold for triple the price here.

Assuming pie is only for dessert

Know that when you utter the word "pie," virtually no Australian is envisioning a decadent sweet treat, but instead a savory meat-based filling encased in a golden, flaky crust.

After all, meat pies and sausage rolls are at the top of the Australian culinary staples list.

Australia without meat pies is like the US without hamburgers or hot dogs. They're delicious, often enjoyed with tomato sauce (ketchup), and are to be eaten with your hands.

Trying to calculate tax

When shopping or dining in the US, it's hard to predict your total cost because sales tax is usually not included in the advertised prices. Plus, sale-tax rates vary widely at the local level.

In Australia, tax is already calculated into the final price on shelves and on restaurant bills. The advertised price is the final price.

Just about all goods and services are taxed at an even 10%. No surprises, and no awkward fumbling around for that extra dollar.

Ordering "regular coffee" and expecting American drip coffee

When you try to order "a regular coffee" or a "black coffee" here, you'll probably just confuse your barista .

"Drip" or brewed coffee is not really a thing in Australia. When you order coffee here, you'll most likely be served espresso-based drinks.

Fortunately, Australia makes some of the best coffee in the world .

You have options like cappuccino, flat white, mocha, etc. If you're craving a drip coffee, the closest you'll get is a long black, which is a shot of espresso in hot water.

Trying to prepay for gas

There are a few ways pumping gas — or "petrol," as Aussies call it — differs from the US.

In the US, I usually either paid at the pump or prepaid inside before pumping gas. But, other than a few Costco locations, I've yet to find any gas station here that allows me to pay with my card at the pump.

In Australia, you pump your gas and then pay. You have to go inside to pay for your gas — perhaps this helps encourage customers to spend more money at the servo (gas station).

This practice is actually common in a number of places around the world, it's just not the norm in the US .

Confusing Australian Target with American Target

Americans are obsessed with Target , and it's only upon visiting Australian Target that I can understand why the phenomenon stirs such confusion here.

Surprisingly, these two separate corporations have nothing to do with each other despite their shared name and remarkable likeness.

Perhaps I'm biased but, in my opinion, Australian Target is underwhelming compared to the department stores we have back home. Unlike the beloved US chain, these Targets don't have a grocery section or mini food court with a Starbucks or Pizza Hut.

Plus, the Aussie versions of Target tend to be tinier with a smaller variety of products. I much prefer Australia's Kmart stores, which are also not related to the American version with the same name.

Not learning Australian slang

Believe it or not, this point is not for non-English speakers. I've found English fluency will not help you much here because there's Aussie slang or abbreviation for just about every word in the English dictionary.

The slang often follows two principles: Shorten the word and make it much more fun to say.

Tons of Australian slang involve shortening a word to its root and ending an -o suffix, like servo, arvo, avo, smoko, and bottle-o. Those were: service station, afternoon, avocado, smoke session, and bottle shop (liquor store).

However, memorizing those principles alone won't be enough to get by. Aussies change McDonald's to Macca's, mosquito to mozzie, breakfast to brekky, cooler to esky, and so on.

I recommend looking up a list of Australian slang words and memorizing the most common ones before you visit. Over time, you'll hopefully get the hang of it.

Yep! You can indeed. Do price out the different items "ala carte" and compare them. Sometimes Costco can't be beat, but other times you might find a better deal on your own.

You need to contact them directly - either via phone or email. We can't directly log into the US Costco system and a lot of the prices are "hidden" unless you do log in.

I guess things may have changed since then but can't say I recollect reading or hearing about it anywhere.

It can't hurt sending them an email or call to ask. If you do can you please come back here and let us know?

Sure contact them to confirm.

Australian Costco membership is accepted worldwide, but with current licensing laws Costco Travel membership is only available to members residing in the USA or Canada.

I don't think you can use Costco travel in the US with an Australian Costco membership.

If so, the answer is def no.

If you're interested in joining Costco and want to get the most out of your membership, a Costco Executive Gold Star Membership may be right for you. You'll earn an annual 2% cash back reward on your purchases, and get bigger discounts on Costco Services, like free roadside assistance for cars with coverage from Costco's auto insurance program.

Costco 1-Year Executive Gold Star Membership + $40 Gift Card

I bought a Stack Social deal for  Costco's Gold Star membership myself in November 2023, and can vouch for it. The redemption process was simple: You purchase and redeem the membership online, and pick up your card in any Costco warehouse at the customer service counter (just be prepared to have a photo taken for your card, which I was not). To get your gift card, you enter your email at the time of redemption. My gift card arrived via email within two weeks, and I had the option to scan it on my phone or print it out to use at the store, or online. 

The deal I purchased is also still live: If you're interested in a Costco Gold Star membership for $60 , you can get a $40 gift card for free.

5 brand-name health and beauty items at costco that can save you more than $60.

When most folks think of Costco , they think of the excellent deals customers can reap on its Kirkland Signature brand, gas purchases, and even scrumptious goodies at its food court. What often slips people's minds is that Costco offers great deals on brand-name products that we all know and love, too.

As the weather gets warmer and days get longer, it's a great time to stock up on products that will benefit our skin and bodies. You can save over $60 on the following five brand-name health and beauty items by purchasing from Costco at today's prices, compared to even the cheapest big-box retailers. That's enough savings to recoup the cost of Costco's basic membership ($60 annually), and even get you halfway to an Executive membership ($120 annually). Don't overlook these deals!

1. Olay Pro Advanced Retinol Complex. 1.7 oz, 2-pack

Costco price: $36.99 (limited time – through May 5, 2024)

Walmart price: $63.99

This product offers the biggest savings of the bunch, with an extra $15 discount available through May 5. After that date, the price will go back to its regular Costco price of $51.99. You'll save $27 on this product by buying before the sale expires. But even if you don't get to it in time, you'll still save $12 compared to Walmart.

This Olay Pro Advanced Retinol Complex Moisturizer hydrates and revitalizes. It contains collagen peptides and retinoids to boost the look and feel of your skin, and boasts brighter and smoother skin, overnight! This product is great for all ages. I love it, and so does my 68-year-old mother.

2. Sun Bum Original SPF 50, 5 oz, 2-pack

Costco price: $21.99

Walmart price: $33.81 (sale price, originally $39)

Sticking with the theme of skin care, protect your skin from the sun's harsh rays with this Sun Bum spray-on sunscreen . Get a pack of two for just $21.99 and save $11.82 compared to Walmart's sale price.

This sunscreen isn't cheap, but it's great! I used it for my recent trip to Aruba and didn't get even the slightest hint of a sunburn during my entire vacation. The scent is pleasant, and it has a moisturizing formula with Vitamin E. This particular brand of sunscreen is also reef safe and perfect for ocean use, without harmful ingredients like oxybenzone and octinoxate that can harm our ocean's coral reefs. Another perk? It's FSA eligible for those of you with flexible spending accounts looking for a way to spend funds before they expire.

3. Secret Outlast Antiperspirant Deodorant, 2.6 oz, 4-pack

Costco price: $18.99

Walmart price: $23.88 ($5.97 each)

This pack of heavy-duty Secret Outlast deodorant comes in an invisible solid, Completely Clean scent. It's refreshing, and let me tell you, it works! At the risk of telling you too much about myself, I'll just say that this brand and style of deodorant is the first I've come across in my adult life that truly keeps me fresh all day long, no matter what I put it through.

Your savings here aren't as impressive ($4.89) compared to the first two products. But you'll still save by stocking up, and trust me, this is the type of product you don't want to run out of. Think ahead: it makes a great stocking stuffer for adults, as well!

4. Crest Pro-Health Advanced Mouthwash, 33.8 fl oz, 3-pack

Costco price: $12.99 Walmart price: $25.92

Now our skin is smooth and protected, our pits are fresh and smell fabulous, so what's left? Don't forget to keep your mouth fresh, too! This Crest Pro-Health Advanced Complete Care mouthwash comes in a three-pack of 33.8 fluid ounce bottles. It's alcohol-free and has a refreshing clean mint flavor. It offers six benefits, including enamel protection, strengthening teeth, and of course freshening breath. A three-pack of the same size bottles from Walmart will cost you $12.93 more, so do your personal finances a favor and stock up at Costco instead!

5. Tylenol PM Extra Strength Acetaminophen 500 mg Pain Reliever & Sleep Aid, 225 Caplets

Costco price: $24.99

Walmart price: $29.96

Is there a better way to close out a long summer day full of excitement and activity than by soothing away those lingering aches and pains and ensuring you can do it all again tomorrow with the help of some Tylenol PM ? Generally, you'll find larger bottles of OTC medications at warehouse clubs like Costco. The largest bottle I could find for comparison at Walmart was just 150 caplets for $19.97. But by calculating the per-unit price and multiplying that number by 225 (the number of caplets in Costco's bottle), we learn that we can save $4.97 by buying from Costco.

Now, it's worth mentioning that medications can lose efficacy if they sit unused for long periods. But for larger families, or even just a household that goes through a lot of Tylenol, buying in bulk can provide decent savings on this product.

Don't overlook Costco's brand-name deals

Some quick calculations show that buying these five brand-name health and beauty products from Costco will save shoppers approximately $61.61 compared to Walmart's low prices. Keep in mind too, that Costco prices used here are all online prices. Costco's online prices are higher than its store prices to account for built-in shipping and handling. So visiting your nearest warehouse club and picking these items up in store could save you even more!

Give your credit card tab a break and take advantage of these products from Costco that will keep you fresh, healthy, and happy all spring and summer long!

Top credit card to use at Costco (and everywhere else!)

If you’re shopping with a debit card, you could be missing out on hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.  These versatile credit cards offer huge rewards everywhere, including Costco, and are rated the best cards of 2024 by our experts because they offer hefty sign-up bonuses and outstanding cash rewards. Plus, you’ll save on credit card interest because all of these recommendations include a competitive 0% interest period.
