Experiences After Letting Costco Membership Expire

The merchants promote these sales in an effort to get new customers and/or more sales revenue. Costco has a flyer that lists the store items that are discounted each month, which also mentions the SameDay sales. You can also find a list of discounted items and code for SameDay discount at www.costco.com/o/-/warehouse-savings or on the home page at sameday.costco.com . Costco also promotes their SameDay sales by sending emails about the discount (in subject line of email) to registered email address of Costco members. This type of sale will also get posted on sites like SlickDeals.

Instacart has several different types of discounts . Some are targeted for a specific member. Some are general or promote specific events, such as the Superbowl. Some are manufacturer discounts or initiated by 3rd parties, including specific grocers. Instacart will send promotional emails for many of the sales. For others you need to login to your Instacart account to see the offer.

Examples of offers available to me in the past week include:

  • Costco Warehouse Sameday: $10 off $35 order with code WINTERSAMEDAY26
  • Costco Business Center Sameday: $10 off $35 order with code BDSAMEDAY26
  • Instacart Game Day Promotion (expired): 50% off $20 order of Superbowl supplies, can be stacked with 15% off for paying with gift cards. I bought a $20 roll of Bounty paper towels. Could be used for Bounty towels at Costco as well, which is on sale this month
  • Instacart: Free 3 months Instacart+ and $10 off a $10+ order each month for signing up with a Mastercard (I used my Citi 2% cashback). This includes Peacock, so get free streaming of Olympics.
  • GrubHub: Free 1 year with 30% off x3 for Instacart groceries (purchased within GrubHub), Can be stacked with 15% off for paying with Instacart gift cards
  • Others including Uber Eats and My Local Supermarket: Better than many of above, but does not support Costco, so off topic for this thread. Note that you can buy Uber gift cards at Costco, adding an extra 20% off beyond Uber Eats discounts of as much as 60% off.
