Costco's holiday ad scans are live, and the markdowns roll out in waves through November 30, with the next wave starting November 16.
Physical warehouses close on Thanksgiving Day, but the online sale starts that day. Doors reopen with regular hours on Black Friday. Every deal requires a Costco card, which starts at $65 a year. The card also unlocks member-only discounts on laptops, soundbars and TVs, plus a 90-day return policy on electronics. Some markdowns are already live online, covering appliances, robot vacuums, Beats headphones and outdoor gear.
The headline prices: the Roborock QX Revo Ultra 2 robot vacuum and mop at $779.99, down $200 from $979.99. The Philips 800 Series espresso machine is $349.99, down from $439.99. The Tiki 25-inch smokeless fire pit is $239.99, down from $289.99. A Thanksgiving dinner that serves eight is $199.99, and a 72-jet Aquaterra spa is $5,999.99, down from $8,499.99.
The membership math is the real filter. One $200 markdown covers the fee about three times over, while a $20 fruit tower does not. The big-ticket items are where the card pays for itself.
The roundup also contradicts itself in several places, so check prices at checkout:
- Beats Studio Pro: the summary box lists $129.99 (save $170), while the product card lists $179.99 (save $120). Both start from $299.99.
- Soundcore Space One: the price drops from $99.99 to $74.99, which is $25, yet the label says save $39.01. That figure matches the Bose QuietComfort line directly below it, where the math works.
- Pre-lit tree: the card calls it the Aspen, while the text describes a Radiant Micro LED model. Both are 7.5 feet. The $429.99 price is in-store only, and the online price is $529.99 with free shipping, so the "save $100" compares Costco's two channels rather than a drop from a list price.
The Beats gap is $50, close to the $65 membership fee, so the cart price is worth a look before you pay for either.
