The 7 best Costco deals right now: August 2022
Costco is an American wholesale store similar to Sam’s Club or BJ’s Wholesale Club.
To shop at any Costco store, you need to sign up for an annual membership, which comes in two tiers: the Gold Star membership and the Executive membership. The Gold Star level costs $60 annually and gets you access to every Costco store nationwide, while the Executive level costs $120 per year and not only gets you into every Costco, but also gets you 2 percent cash back on everything you spend. Members also get regular access to exclusive pricing on things like laptops, computer accessories, and even appliances. I’ve combed through Costco’s offers catalog to bring you the best deals they’re offering on tech right now.

As a user of smart bulbs myself, when combined with your smart home system like Alexa or Google, they can make a difference. From turning off lights at bedtime via voice commands to syncing them with your Roku system, this accessory can make your home smarter — and prettier when choosing different aesthetics like “painted sky” and “crocus” themed hues. The best part is you can control everything from the smart app, too. You’ll have to get the Hue Play to ensure it works for the TV streaming, as an FYI.

ZDNet’s Jason Cipriani praised the “large, vibrant display” and faster charging offered by this generation. Right now, Costco has all models — including LTE and 45mm versions — discounted by $40. No matter which one you pick up, you’ll be saving just as much.

The 15-inch LG gram laptop is a great choice for a work or home-use computer. It’s 1080p display gives you great color volume and the chassis is tested against MIL-STD-810 standards for drop, dust, and moisture resistance for long-lasting durability. It’s built around an 11th gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD; and while the integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics aren’t much suited for gaming, you’ll still get great images when viewing photos or streaming movies. And with a 19.5 hour battery life, you can work several typical office shifts or school days before you need to even wonder where the nearest wall outlet is.
