8 Amazing Costco Buys for Under $50

Costco is a frugal shopper's dream. Whether you're shopping for the perfect gift or just need something affordable, you'll find it at the warehouse retailer, where you can unlock the true value of your membership.

And even better, some of the best deals at Costco are under $50. So grab your credit card, head to a location near you, and grab these bargains today.

Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location. 

At Costco, you can find gift cards to movie theaters, restaurants, and more for less than face value. For instance, you might find a $60 Krispy Kreme gift card for $45 or a $50 Cinemark gift card for closer to $40.

Saving money on gift cards can make it easy to give a last-minute gift throughout the year while keeping more money in your own wallet. Or if you just frequent a place enough, you'll save big. 

Available Costco gift cards may differ based on your location, and Costco doesn't carry discounted gift cards to every top brand. 

Costco's munchable popcorn deals include a 28-count box of Skinny Pop bags for $16.99. 

That makes the price for each single-serving bag just 61 cents. 

You can snag a beautiful gift tray or basket at Costco, and save a little money and time.

The retailer has a variety of options. For example, you can get a Movie Marathon Gourmet Popcorn Gift Set for $39.99 or a Vacaville Fruit Company Dried Fruit and Nut Wooden Gift Tray for $44.99.

Every wine lover needs a wine decanter. A decanter aerates wine as it is poured from the bottle, and it improves the flavor. A decanter also removes sediments from the wine for a better drinking experience.

At Costco, you can currently nab a Rabbit wine decanter for $47.99. So, if you've been waiting for the right decanter to come along at the right price, this is your time to shine.

Do you dream of getting a cup of Starbucks coffee without paying Starbucks prices? Costco makes this frugal fantasy a reality with its 72-count box of Pike Place Roast K-Cups, available for just $45.99.

That's much less than $1 per cup. A bargain compared to what you would pay at a Starbucks location.

Pro tip: Costco is a great place to save money. But you still need to be careful not to buy too much. Crush your debt by paying down credit cards and only purchasing new items you truly need.

If you listen to your dentist's advice, you should replace your toothbrush about every three months. This rule applies to both regular and electric toothbrushes.

Luckily, Costco makes it easy to maintain your dental hygiene without overspending. Buy an eight-pack box of Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush replacement heads for just $49.99.

Following the three-month rule, your toothbrush should now see you safely through the next two years.

Does your vision need a little boost? Reading glasses may help with blurry vision, especially if your blurred vision is caused by aging and isn't bothersome enough to warrant an optometrist visit.

Costco's three-pack of Foster Grant reading glasses costs $15.99, meaning you can improve your reading experience for around $5 per pair.

Plus, if you require more than reading glasses, Costco members get great deals on prescription glasses, too.

If you're a coffee lover and you want to try something other than the Pike Place Roast, Costco is a great place to buy whole-bean coffee in bulk for an affordable price.

You can buy a three-pound bag of Kirkland Signature Colombian coffee for only $21.49.

You could save even more if you use a Costco-approved credit card that helps you earn rewards like cash back.

Costco members already save on everything from groceries to brand-name clothes every day of the year. But amid all the bargains you're used to getting at Costco, don't let these deals under $50 fall off of your radar.

Combining these deals with the best shopping hacks can save you enough money to keep your wallet in tip-top shape.
