In case you missed it, Black Friday deals are happening right now, with retailers like Amazon and Best Buy already ahead of the curve. However, Costco, everyone’s go-to store for all things wholesale (and samples), is taking a more lax approach to holiday shopping. Today the company shared its latest catalog of Black Friday deals and promotions — online and in-store exclusives included. While the in-store sales don’t begin until the day of Black Friday (November 26), shoppers can snag some door-busting deals online starting November 18. We’ve listed all the best online-only promotions below.
Note that a Costco membership is required to access its online and physical stores. Given all the holiday deals to come, now is the best time to purchase one for yourself if you haven’t enrolled. Below are the different membership tiers available, their benefits, and fees.
- Executive Membership: $120 annual fee, access to all Costco locations, annual 2% cashback on spending

For a reliable productivity machine, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite makes for a great pickup. It’s not the newest model from Samsung but has most of the benefits that the Tab S7 comes with, and Costco is bundling the $100-off tablet with an S Pen and book cover.
$70 off
Blink an eye and you might miss this sweet deal on a smart home security kit. Though SimpliSafe may not ring a bell when it comes to smart home brands, it’s become a front runner for offering the best value hardware. Costco has the 10-piece kit, which includes a smart hub, a security door lock, motion sensors, a camera, and more, on sale for $129.99 ($70 off). Note that this does include a free three-month surveillance membership that will cost you $24.99 a month after the trial.

The MacBook Air has become a tried-and-true laptop thanks most in part to Apple’s M1 chip. Besides excellent battery life and efficient performance throughout, Costco has the 512GB model discounted to $1,099.99 right now. That makes for a stellar pickup — whether you’re a student or worker.
$100 off
For less than $250, the Samsung Galaxy Book Go 14” comes with all the specs you need to get a typical day’s work done. I think the 14” screen size is the sweet spot for laptops and is perfect for those on the go (as the branding suggests). The Galaxy Book is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7C Gen 2 processor and has 128GB of built-in storage. I’d want a little more storage but can’t complain at this price point.

$700 off + $200 Costco Shop card
Go big or go home. Costco is headlining its early Black Friday catalog with a $700 discount on the LG 86” Class 4K TV, and throwing in a $200 Costco Shop card. That puts the TV at $1,999.99, a great value for how much screen you’re getting. You can buy the LG appliance for the same price now but will miss out on the bonus $200 gift card.
$300 off
On Thanksgiving Day, Costco will also have the MSI Prestige 14” laptop on sale for $999.99 ($300 off). For the price, you get an 11th-Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD — all which make for rather future-proofed computer. It currently sells for $1,199.99 ($100 off) if you can’t wait until then.
$50 off
For a decent-sized curved monitor, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung’s 32-inch offering for $199.99 ($50 off). Notorious for its color accuracy and sharpness, the curved panel makes for the perfect monitor for gaming and entertainment. The deal starts on the 25th.
$40 off
If you plan on capturing all the memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas, then having a portable SSD will come in handy for storage. Starting November 20, Costco will have take $40 off the SanDisk NVMe 1TB SSD, marking it down to just $99. It’s durable, compact, and great for keeping photos and videos in tact.
$30 off
Starting November 25, the Skullcandy Grind Fuel wireless earbuds can be yours for just $49.99 ($30 off). The earbuds feature in-ear voice control and a wireless charging case. The later is a feature typically found on higher end audio accessories so that’s a plus.
$110 off
If you plan on buying a new TV during Black Friday, chances are, its built-in speakers won’t give you the best sound. Starting November 25, Costco will be dropping the $299.99 price tag of the VIZIO M41a-H6 sound system by $110. For the new price of $189.99, you get a complete home theater sound system with speakers flanking the back and front of your TV setup.
As always, we will be monitoring all the deals available at Costco over the next few weeks. Be sure to follow this page for the most up-to-date promotions available.
