Black Friday is less than a month away now, which means that just about every retailer will be releasing their Black Friday ads soon – and Costco is no exception. While Costco hasn’t released its Black Friday ad just yet, the popular bulk warehouse store just released its Holiday Gift Guide, which is a little different.
Costco will likely have a huge sale starting right before Thanksgiving, but in the meantime, to get you warmed up for some serious Christmas shopping, you now have the Gift Guide to tide you over. The nine-page ad features 87 deals from various departments. Whether you’re looking for low prices on jewelry, apparel, appliances, computers, home goods and seasonal items, Costco has hundreds of deals for you to choose from.
The sale started October 25 and continues until November 13, so you don’t have a lot of time to save. Don’t have a Costco membership? No problem! You can shop online at Costco without one. However, you will have to pay a small surcharge fee. You can avoid this by using a Costco gift card, which is called a Costco Cash Card. You likely have friends or family members who have Costco memberships, so ask them to pick you up a gift card or two on their next trip.
