Costco’s holiday savings lineup is out, so the guessing is over: the sale runs Oct. 30 through Nov. 30, in waves, with a few items already live. The ad is long and mostly lists savings amounts, which tells you what Costco is taking off but not whether that’s a good price. So we checked the standouts against the prices Slickdeals members have posted over the past year, and the picks below are the deals that held up.

When Does Costco’s Black Friday Sale Start?

Costco confirmed a run of overlapping windows rather than a single Black Friday drop. The first wave is valid Oct. 30–Nov. 15, though a handful of jewelry and apparel deals started as early as Oct. 23 and Oct. 26. The second, and largest, wave runs Nov. 16–30, and a few items in it start on their own dates (Nov. 2, Nov. 9, Nov. 19 and Nov. 20, among others). Thanksgiving Day brings an online-only list valid Nov. 26, the Black Friday weekend wave covers Nov. 27–30, and a final set of online-only deals lands on Cyber Monday, Nov. 30.

Because each deal carries its own dates, the start date that matters is the one printed on the item you want. We list it next to every pick below.

Is Costco Open on Thanksgiving and Black Friday?

Costco will not be open on Thanksgiving. Its warehouses will be closed Thursday, Nov. 26, 2026. Costco.com stays open, though, and the Nov. 26 deals are online-only, including a 100-inch Samsung QN80H for $4,499.99, an 85-inch LG NU87 for $699.99 and a $100 inKind restaurant eGift card for $64.99.

Warehouses reopen for Black Friday, when the weekend wave begins. Costco’s holiday savings page doesn’t list special Black Friday hours, so check your warehouse’s posted hours before you go.

The Best Deals in Costco’s Black Friday Ad

Few of these deals have a Slickdeals thread yet, and the threads that exist are a few days old, so we ranked the ad by price history first. A deal moved up the list when its ad price undercut every price we’d tracked for it, then when it beat last Black Friday or the going rate elsewhere. Early deal scores broke ties.

Top 3 Costco Black Friday Deals 2026

  • Hisense 100″ QD7: valid Nov. 27–30, warehouse and online, deal score +63, View thread
  • Samsung 98″ U9000H: valid Oct. 30–Nov. 15, warehouse and online, deal score +4, View thread
  • Hisense 65″ U65 Pro: valid Nov. 16–30, warehouse and online, no Slickdeals thread yet, View deal

The 100-inch Hisense pulled the most early votes of any single deal in the ad, and one member who bought a 100-inch Hisense from Costco on an earlier sale summed up the appeal: “Jumped on the Costco 100″ Hisense deal 2 years ago and I’m glad I did. Size matters.”

A few of these need context. Costco has sold the SimpliSafe kit for $129.99 several times this year, and the 75-inch version of the Hisense U65 Pro from our top 3 drops to $699.99 in the same Nov. 16–30 window. The Dyson’s last Costco price we tracked was $709.99. Sonos’s own Black Friday sale had the Arc Ultra at $879 last year, while Costco’s bundle costs $29 less and adds a $60 Apple or SiriusXM gift card, a wall-mount voucher and 30% off Sonos accessories. Best Buy currently lists the Ring Battery Doorbell Pro by itself at $199.99, and Costco’s version includes a chime for $50 less. The TCL matches the $499 Frontpage deal Costco ran last Black Friday, which reached +92, and it’s the same 65QM6K Pro model, so it’s a very good price even without beating it. Members were happy to see it back: “Good price on the TCL QM6K Pro 65″ for $499.”

More Costco Black Friday Picks by Category

TVs

TVs make up a large share of the ad, which we love around here. Most of them include Costco’s five-year coverage bundle, which adds value even when the price is one we’ve seen before. The 65-inch LG B6E OLED is $999.99, the same price Amazon charged for the standard B6 this fall (Costco’s B6E carries its own model number), and the 55-inch Samsung M70H Mini-LED is back at $299.99. If you want a big screen on a budget, the 43-inch Samsung U8000H is $199.99, the same price Costco charged in September.

Smart Home and Security

Security gear gave us three of our top 10 picks. The SimpliSafe kit and the Ring camera bundle set new lows, and the Ring doorbell bundle comes in under what the doorbell alone costs elsewhere. Outside the top 10, the Blink Whole Home bundle returns at $99.99, the same price Costco charged in September, so buy it if the timing suits you rather than waiting for something better.

Gaming and Computers

The MSI 27-inch QD-OLED 240Hz gaming monitor at $299.99 (Oct. 30–Nov. 15) earned a +35 deal score in its first few days, the best early score among the ad’s PC deal threads. The laptops and gaming desktops are harder to judge, since Costco lists most of them as dollar amounts off (up to $600 on the ASUS ROG Strix G18 and Lenovo Legion 5) without a final price. We’ll add the ones that land at a real low once the prices show up on Costco.com.

Gift Cards and Holiday Food

Restaurant gift cards are a steady Costco staple, and the Thanksgiving Day versions carry familiar prices: a $100 inKind eGift card for $64.99 and pairs of $50 cards from Fogo de Chão, Landry’s, Morton’s and The Honey Baked Ham Co. for $74.99. Both prices match earlier Frontpage deals at Costco, including an inKind card at $65 that reached a +93 deal score in August, so these are very good deals that come back a few times a year. On the grocery side, Kirkland Signature boneless skinless chicken breasts are $5 off per package Nov. 27–30, warehouse only.

Costco Black Friday Deals to Skip Unless You Need Them Now

These deals aren’t bad prices. We’ve seen them lower, so they’re worth buying only if the timing, the warranty or Costco’s return policy matters more to you than waiting.

  • Sony 55″ BRAVIA 8 II QD-OLED TV ($1,799.99): Walmart had a 55-inch BRAVIA 8 II for $1,198 with a two-year warranty extension over Cyber Monday weekend last year. Costco’s version is model K55XR80CM2, so compare model numbers before you pay $600 more.
  • LG 65″ G5 OLED TV ($1,899.99): Some Costco warehouses had it for $1,499.97 in August.
  • GoPro HERO13 Black Bundle ($339.99): Costco sold the same bundle for $309.99 last Black Friday and $299.99 a few weeks later.
  • Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum ($399.99): That’s the price Costco charged in September, and it’s the price on Costco.com this week.
  • Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch ($149.99): Amazon had it for $129.99 earlier this year.
  • Michelin tires ($80 off a set of four): Costco’s July 4 promotion gave a $130 shop card with four Michelins, so wait if your tread can.

Costco Deals We’re Still Watching

Costco’s page flags more savings as coming soon, and several listings are still missing the details we need to judge them. The Apple Savings Event appears in three windows (Oct. 30–Nov. 15, Nov. 16–30 and Nov. 27–30) without any products or prices yet, and most of the appliance offers from Samsung, LG, Whirlpool and Frigidaire list a savings range instead of a sale price. The Cyber Monday PC event promises $100–$600 off select laptops and desktops on Nov. 30. We’ll check each one against price history when the details post and add the winners here.

How to Get the Top Costco Black Friday Deals

Start with the item’s dates, since Costco staggers its windows and a deal you saw in the ad may not be live yet. If you buy something before its sale starts, Costco’s price adjustment policy covers drops within 30 days of purchase, and members in the deal threads are already planning around it. Compare the warehouse and Costco.com prices too, because the ad shows warehouse pricing, and a few online items (the Dyson PencilVac, the Ninja Luxe AutoBarista Pro and the Osaki 3D 4000 massage chair among them) add shipping and handling on top. With TVs, compare model numbers before you compare prices, since Costco’s sets often carry their own suffix, and a TV with a different model number can come with different specs.

Watch the limits printed on each listing, which run from two per household on laptops to ten on TVs. And if one of these items isn’t at its best price yet, set a Slickdeals deal alert for it, so you hear about the drop without checking every wave of the sale.

Why Check Slickdeals Before You Shop Costco’s Sale?

A Costco ad tells you how much it’s taking off, but not what the item sold for last month or last November. That history lives in years of deal threads posted by Slickdeals members, which is how we could tell a new low from a repeat in this ad before many votes came in. As the sale goes live, members will vote, compare and post the warehouse finds that never make the ad, and the deal scores will show which Costco picks are worth your cart.
