Costco is my go-to store for just about everything. The warehouse giant offers bulk grocery essentials at hard-to-beat prices -- prices that get even better with Costco's monthly deals. It's where I make major tech purchases too: I know I'm getting a great deal and Costco extends the warranty on qualified tech items.

That's why I'm so excited about Costco's new July promo. Join as an Executive member online and enroll in auto renewal of your annual membership and you'll receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card, plus a promo code for $60 off a Costco.com order of $200 or more. This promotion expires August 4, 2024. (You can read all the fine print below.)

You can spend your Digital Costco Shop Card like cash on just about anything Costco has, though some exceptions apply. Given that a Costco Executive Membership is $120 per year, this is like getting your first year of membership for just $20. Plus, since you'll be earning a 2% Reward on your yearly Costco purchases with an Executive Membership, you'll save even more.

Why become a Costco member?

I love Costco -- I've been a member for more than 24 years. I do much of my household shopping there. It's my go-to store for paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent and all those other household essentials I don't want to buy regularly at a supermarket. It's also where I stock up on groceries such as milk, coffee and eggs (they're much cheaper at Costco than at my local supermarket). Costco is a great place to stock up on wine too. I recommend Kirkland Signature™ brand boxed wines -- it's a solid combination of high quality and low price.

I also make sure to pick up a $4.99 rotisserie chicken when I'm at Costco. It makes a great dinner entree, with plenty left over for making sandwiches or chicken salad the next day. And the price can't be beat -- you'll pay way more buying a whole chicken to roast at home.

Costco is a great place to find household goods -- think furniture, small appliances, bedding and more. And Costco extends the warranty on select electronics to two years at no added cost. Costco has a much friendlier return policy than other retailers, as well.

When I need gas, I stop at the station attached to my local warehouse. The price there is typically lower than nearby stations. Don't be discouraged by long lines -- most Costco gas stations have more pumps than your average gas station. Lines move quickly.

And, of course, every time I visit Costco I stop by the food court. It's hard to go wrong with the $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combo. Try it the next time you visit. Or take a fresh-baked $10 pizza home for the whole family.

Why I love Costco:

  • Costco has all the grocery essentials I need at a great price.
  • Costco is a great place to find new snacks and treats, including local favorites.
  • Costco has regular savings on essentials like vitamins, coffee and detergent.
  • Costco has high quality standards, especially when it comes to its own Kirkland Signature brand.
  • You can buy just about anything through Costco -- even bars of gold and silver coins.

REMINDER: To get your Digital Costco Shop Card, sign up for an Executive Membership and use code PARA24 at checkout.


My recommendation: Upgrade to a Costco Executive Membership

If you want to take your Costco savings to the next level, I recommend upgrading to a Costco Executive Membership. It costs an extra $60 per year over a standard membership, but you'll start earning a 2% Reward on your yearly Costco purchases, including vacations purchased through Costco Travel. The annual 2% Reward is mailed with your renewal notice, two months before the renewal date.

Why I love the Costco Executive membership:

  • If you spend more than $3,000 on qualified purchases at Costco per year, you will receive more than $60 for your Reward.
  • If you're not satisfied with your Costco Executive Membership, you can convert your membership to a Gold Star membership or cancel your membership at any time and get a refund.
