Receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card when you sign up for a new membership with this exclusive promo code (2024)

This content is sponsored by Costco.

Costco is my go-to store for just about everything. The warehouse giant offers bulk grocery essentials at hard-to-beat prices -- prices that get even better with Costco's monthly deals. It's where I make major tech purchases too: I know I'm getting a great deal and Costco extends the warranty on qualified tech items.

That's why I'm so excited about Costco's new April promo. You'll receive a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card when you sign up for a new Costco membership. There are a few catches -- you need to enter promo codePARA24, you'll need to agree to auto-renew and you need to be a new member. (Those whose Costco membership expired more than 18 months ago qualify.*)

You can spend your Digital Costco Shop Card like cash on just about anything Costco has, though some exceptions apply. Given that Costco membership is $60 per year, this is almost like getting your first year of membership for just $20. But don't delay, because the promotion ends on May 12, 2024.

Best Costco grocery savings promotions in April

Stock up the pantry with these April Costco grocery finds. Pro tip: If you haven't tried Rao's marinara sauce yet (save $3), you're missing out. Loaded with flavor (but not sugar), it's easily the best pasta sauce in a jar I've ever tasted. Costco is the place to buy it, though -- my local grocery store charges almost twice the per-ounce price for the brand.

• Nabisco Oreo Sandwich Cookies (62.76 oz.): Save $3.50
• Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce (2 x 28 oz.): Save $3

Why become a Costco member?

I loveCostco-- I've been a member for more than 24 years. I do much of my household shopping there. It's my go-to store for paper towels, garbage bags, laundry detergent and all those other household essentials I don't want to buy regularly at a supermarket. It's also where I stock up on groceries such as milk, coffee and eggs (they're much cheaper at Costco than at my local supermarket). Costco is a great place to stock up on wine too. I recommend Kirkland Signature™ brand boxed wine -- it's a solid combination of high quality and low price.

I also make sure to pick up a $4.99 rotisserie chicken when I'm at Costco. It makes a great dinner entree, with plenty left over for making sandwiches or chicken salad the next day. And the price can't be beat -- you'll pay way more buying a whole chicken to roast at home.

Costco is a great place to find household goods -- think furniture, small appliances, bedding and more. And Costco extends the warranty on select electronics to two years at no added cost. Costco has a much friendlier return policy than other retailers, as well.

When I need gas, I stop at the station attached to my local warehouse. The price there is typically 15 to 40 cents lower per gallon than nearby stations. Don't be discouraged by long lines -- most Costco gas stations have more pumps than your average gas station. Lines move quickly.

And, of course, every time I visit Costco I stop by the food court. It's hard to go wrong with the $1.50 hot dog-and-soda combo. Try it the next time you visit. Or take a fresh-baked $10 pizza home for the whole family.

Why I love Costco:

• Costco has all the grocery essentials I need at a great price.
• Costco is a great place to find new snacks and treats, including local favorites.
• Costco has regular savings on essentials like vitamins, coffee and detergent.
• Costco has high quality standards, especially when it comes to its own Kirkland Signature brand.
• You can buy just about anything through Costco -- evenbars of goldand silver coins.

REMINDER: To get your Digital Costco Shop Card, use code PARA24 at checkout.

My recommendation:Upgrade to a Costco Executive Membership

If you want to take your Costco savings to the next level, I recommend upgrading to a Costco Executive Membership. It costs an extra $60 per year over a standard membership, but you'll start earning a 2% Reward on your yearly Costco purchases, including vacations purchased through Costco Travel. The annual 2% Reward is mailed with your renewal notice, two months before the renewal date.

Why I love the Costco Executive membership:

• If you spend more than $3,000 on qualified purchases at Costco per year, you will receive more than $60 for your Reward.
• If you're not satisfied with your Costco Executive Membership, you can convert your membership to a Gold Star membership or cancel your membership at any time and get a refund.
