What Is the Costco Coupon Book?
The Costco Coupon Book is not really a book of coupons in the way you might picture from a newspaper flyer. Costco calls it the “Member-Only Savings” booklet. It is a list of items that are temporarily discounted for Costco members only, both in the warehouse and online at Costco.ca.
There is nothing to cut out and nothing to scan. The discount is already built into the price when you shop during the sale period. You just need to be a Costco member and shop while the deal is active.
So basically it’s a highlighter of discounted Costco products during a particular period. If you view that product as a non-member, you won’t see the discount.
How to Get the Costco Coupon Book
You do not have to hunt for the Member-Only Savings booklet. As an active Costco member, there are four reliable ways to get it, and you only need one of them to capture the savings.
The first way is to Wait for it in the mail.
Costco mails a new booklet to the primary member’s address on file, usually a few days before the sale period goes live. You do not sign up for this and there is no extra cost. As long as your membership is active and your address is current, it arrives on its own roughly once a month.
The second way is to View it on Costco.ca.
If you never touch the physical copy, every item and price is posted online. Go to Costco.ca and open the “Warehouse Savings” section, usually linked near the top of the homepage. Deals that also apply to online orders are marked with a “Shop Now” icon, so you can act on them without setting foot in a warehouse.
The third way is to pick one up at the membership desk.
Physical copies are kept at the membership desk in your local warehouse. If a booklet did not reach your mailbox, or you simply want the printed version to plan with, ask for one on your way in.
The fourth way is to keep your mailing address current.
The single most common reason members stop receiving the booklet is an outdated address. Update it through your Costco.ca account or at the membership desk, and the mailed copy starts arriving again. You can also confirm the address on file in the Costco mobile app, which holds your digital membership card as well.
Note: These are member-only prices. You need an active Gold Star or Executive membership to receive the discounts, whether you shop in the warehouse or online.
How the Coupon Book Works
Here is the simple version of how it works in Canada:
- Costco mails a new booklet to the primary member’s address on file, usually a little before the sale period starts.
- The booklet lists a set of items with a “before” price and an “after” price, showing the exact amount you save.
- When the sale period begins, those lower prices are automatically applied at checkout, both in-store and on Costco.ca.
- You do not need to bring the physical booklet with you. The discount is tied to your membership and the item, not to a piece of paper.
This is different from grocery store coupons where you clip something and hand it to the cashier. With Costco, awareness is the only thing you need. If you know an item is on the list, you get the price. If you do not know, you simply pay full price and miss the saving.
How Often Does the Coupon Book Come Out?
A new Member-Only Savings booklet usually comes out about once a month. Most sale periods run for about four weeks, though some run a bit longer, especially around summer and the holidays. The exact start and end dates are always printed on the front cover of the booklet, and the same dates are shown on the Costco.ca Warehouse Savings page.
Deal periods typically start on a Monday and end on a Sunday. There is usually a short gap of a few days between the end of one sale period and the start of the next.
What If You Did Not Get a Coupon Book in the Mail?
If you are a Costco member and you did not receive a booklet, you have not lost anything. Every item and price in the booklet is also listed on Costco.ca. To find it:
- Go to Costco.ca and look for the “Warehouse Savings” or “Member-Only Savings” section.
- Check the membership desk at your local warehouse. Physical copies are usually available there too.
- Make sure your mailing address on file with Costco is correct, since that is the most common reason members stop receiving it.
In-Warehouse Savings vs Online Savings
Not every item in the coupon book is discounted in both places. Some deals are for in-warehouse shopping only, some are online-only, and many apply to both.
A simple way to check is to look for a small icon or note next to the item, usually something like “+Costco.ca,” which means the item is discounted online as well as in-store. If that note is missing, the online price may be higher than the in-warehouse price, since Costco does not always match in-store and online pricing exactly.
If you are comparing prices, it is worth checking both the printed or digital booklet and the live Costco.ca page before you decide where to buy.
Gold Star vs Executive Membership: Which One Saves You More?
Gold Star Membership
- Annual fee: $65
- Includes a free Household Card for someone else at your address
- Full access to all Costco warehouses worldwide and Costco.ca
Executive Membership
- Annual fee: $130 (the $65 Gold Star fee plus a $65 upgrade fee)
- Includes everything in Gold Star
- Earns an annual reward based on a percentage of your eligible Costco purchases, paid out as a reward certificate you can use toward future purchases or membership renewal
- Some extra savings on select Costco Services and Costco Travel bookings
The math most members use to decide: if your household regularly spends a few thousand dollars a year at Costco, the Executive membership often pays for itself through the annual reward alone. If you shop at Costco only occasionally, Gold Star is usually the better fit. Costco also backs every membership with a satisfaction guarantee, so you can ask for a refund on the membership fee at any time if you are not happy with it.
5 Tips to Get More Out of the Costco Coupon Book
- Since the savings are automatic, the only way to miss them is to not know they exist. Take two minutes to scan the current booklet or the Costco.ca savings page before you head out.
- If you bought an item within the last 30 days and it later shows up in the coupon book at a lower price, you can usually ask for a price adjustment at the returns desk. Bring your receipt.
- Costco tends to put the same everyday items on sale every few months. If you notice your regular detergent, coffee, or supplements go on sale on a pattern, it can make sense to buy a bit extra while the price is down.
- Online prices at Costco.ca are not always the same as in-warehouse prices. If an item does not show the online savings icon, check the in-store price too.
- If you are planning to buy something larger, like an appliance, furniture, or tires, it is worth checking whether it is due to show up in an upcoming Member-Only Savings period before you buy at full price.
Common Mistakes Members Make
- Assuming you need a physical coupon to get the deal. You do not. The price is already reduced at checkout.
- Forgetting to check Costco.ca when a booklet does not arrive in the mail. The same deals are always posted there.
- Not asking for a price adjustment. Many members do not realize this is available and leave savings on the table.
- Buying online without checking if the item qualifies for the online price. This can lead to paying more than expected.
