This Costco deal on Groupon continues. I’m amazed there are people who still don’t have a membership – out here, anyway! Get all your household shopping done (buy a car!) and enjoy lots of samples. Groupon deal costs the same as buying directly from Costco, but you get the $20 or $40 gift card. The $130 Executive membership is also available and that one snags not only the gift card, but you also earn 2% back on purchases, a nice benefit (This is the card we have and sigh, use heavily). Your $65 yearly Gold Star Membership Package includes:
-
- A membership card for the Primary Cardholder and one additional Household Card for anyone living at the same address, over the age of 16
- A $40 Digital Costco Shop Card (valid at Costco locations and Costco.com)A One-Year Costco Gold Star Membership
Costco is good for more than toilet paper and eggs; gas is always cheaper so fill up before or after you shop. Pita and I drove to SIU over COD’s Spring Break for a personalized campus visit (she starts this Fall). We went to Avis, where basic economy was almost $600 for the week. They suggested checking Costco online because of travel discounts; I did and saved over $200 (Budget, Enterprise & Avis were listed using my zip code). Membership also entitled us to add another driver for free instead of paying the usual extra charge. I would NEVER have thought about this, so that one tip paid for a yearly membership at either level!

As I posted last week, there’s only one Save insert this week. Not all papers carry the same coupons or values, so this national list might show coupons not found in the Chicago Tribune.
