ReCostco Launches Holiday Sales Running October 30 Through November 30

Costco has published its full holiday discount schedule ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, starting October 30.

Costco has published its annual Holiday Savings promotional program, and shoppers can already review the products that will be discounted this year. Like other retailers, the chain is offering several waves of sales ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

The first wave started on October 30 and will run until November 15. According to Costco's official page, most offers will be available both in stores and online, except for Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday. The full schedule looks like this: the pre-Thanksgiving early sale from October 30 to November 15, the main pre-holiday sale from November 16 to 30, the Thanksgiving Day sale on November 26 online only, Black Friday from November 27 to 30, and Cyber Monday on November 30 online only.

The range of discounts varies noticeably across the different sales, so there are good deals throughout almost the entire month. In the current early sale and the pre-holiday wave, there are many discounts on snacks, frozen foods, and kitchen products. During this same period, there are also quite a few offers on televisions and gaming monitors, which will remain valid until Cyber Monday while stock lasts.

According to the publication, the best offers on electronics and other big-ticket purchases will appear only with the start of Black Friday after Thanksgiving. During this period, among other things, a gaming PC with an RTX 5060 graphics card is offered at $300 off, a Dyson vacuum cleaner for under $300, and a 4K television for under $1,000. Some of the best deals on frozen foods also run during this time, including a $5 discount on Costco's signature frozen lasagnas.

The Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday sales also include several interesting items, but the bulk of the offers do not fall on those days. For example, the Dickies men's coveralls and cargo pants for $30 are best looked for in the Thanksgiving sale. For those who often eat at Applebee's, a profitable gift card promotion is offered on Cyber Monday.

Costco is not the only chain to launch holiday sales ahead of Halloween. Best Buy started its DoorBOOster sale after announcing the full Best By Black Friday schedule for 2026. Walmart and Target have also published dates for their November sales. Thus, November promises to be busy for shoppers who want to save as much as possible this year.
