Take advantage of these Costco bargains this holiday season.
Editor's note: Prices and availability are subject to change and may vary by location.
Sneakers
Costco consistently offers top-quality sneakers at affordable prices, suitable for both men and women. The Tretorn Women's Jogger Sneaker is only $14.97. That's a crazy-good bargain compared to DSW, which sells the exact same shoes for $41.99 (on sale).
Why spend a fortune at shoe stores when you can renew your footwear for less using your Costco membership?
Gift cards
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.
Healthy snacks
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. A very frugal way to get your snacks for the month without overspending or breaking your diet.
Gift tray and baskets
You can snag a beautiful gift tray or basket at Costco throughout the year, and, unlike at specialty stores, they don't cost a fortune.
The retailer has a variety of options, and for this holiday season, you'll find baskets like the Happy Holidays Tower of Sweets or Hickory Farms Happy Holidays Meat & Cheese Gift Box, each for $39.99.
Starbucks K-Cups
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 $37.99 (on sale from $47.99 throughout the holidays). 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.
Electric toothbrush replacement heads
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 (on sale from $64.99 throughout the holidays)
Following the three-month rule, your toothbrush should now see you safely through the next two years.
Colombian ground coffee
If you're a coffee lover and you don't have a K-Cup coffee maker, Costco is a great place to buy supreme fine-ground coffee in bulk for an affordable price.
You can buy a three-pound bag of Kirkland Signature Colombian coffee for only $23.99.
You could save even more if you use a Costco-approved credit card that helps you earn rewards like cash back.
Reading glasses
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 $19.99, meaning you can improve your reading experience for about $6 per pair.
Plus, if you require more than reading glasses, Costco members get great deals on prescription glasses, too.
Rabbit wine decanter
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.
Pyrex glass food storage
Say goodbye to plastic Tupperware and head to Costco to score a set of glass Pyrex for $35.99. This set comes with 9 Containers with lids that truly seal and lock. It's both refrigerator and freezer-safe, as well as dishwasher and microwave-safe.
Additionally, you can place them in the oven at up to 450 °F (without the lids).
Bottom line
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 top grocery saving hacks can save you enough money to keep your wallet in tip-top shape.
