Loyal Costco fans love the big box retailer for its deals on items like the famous hot dogs and rotisserie chicken, and the store's affordable prices are a great way to unlock the true value of your membership.

The good news is that even more shoppers are about to have ways to save money. The retailer is expanding this year. Here are eight cities that have either recently gotten a Costco or are about to.

Earn 2% cash rewards at grocery stores and Costco

The Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card(Rates and fees) is a powerful rewards card that allows you to earn unlimited 2% cash rewards on purchases — including on groceries, even at warehouse stores like Costco.

New cardholders can also earn a one-time cash rewards bonus — $200 cash rewards bonus after spending $500 in purchases in the first 3 months!

If you’re looking for a powerful rewards card that offers an extended intro APR period, look no further, the Wells Fargo Active Cash® Card checks that box too!

This card also offers an intro APR of 0% for 12 months from account opening on purchases and qualifying balance transfers (then 19.24%, 24.24%, or 29.24% Variable). Which is great for someone who wants a break from high interest rates, while still earning rewards.

The best part? There's no annual fee.

How much does a Costco membership cost?

Costco memberships make up more than 70% of its annual profits, and the company raised membership prices for the first time since 2017 last year.

As of May 2025, Costco's base Gold Star membership costs $65, with an Executive membership now costing $130.

Despite the price increase, membership revenue rose 7.6% for Costco's first 2025 fiscal quarter. Apparently, members feel like access to the warehouse club is still worth it.

Quick tips: How to save on your grocery bill

Grocery shopping doesn't have to break the bank when you use the right strategies. Here are three quick tips for reducing food expenses:

  • Buy store brands instead of name brands whenever possible.
  • Always make sure to compare unit prices, not just sticker prices.
  • Join your store's loyalty program so you don’t miss out on member discounts.

Even though something like choosing coupons in your grocery store app can feel like an annoying task, the savings can really add up.

Why customers love Costco

Bottom line

While you do have to pay a yearly fee to shop at this warehouse chain, plenty of deals, from the wholesale quantities to the free samples, have Costco fans shouting their love from the rooftops.

Some people have said the membership cost is worth it for the gas savings alone, not including all the other benefits and cost savings. So, if your city is welcoming a new location, get ready to save money on groceries, especially if you are shopping their weekly deals or buying seasonal items.
