The 14 Most Expensive Things You Can Buy at Costco
Updated: Dec. 23, 2022Drop the 24-pack of toilet paper and get ready to luxury-shop at your favorite members-only wholesale club. These pricey items will change the way you view Costco.
Big price tag
With its buy-in-bulk options and classic items like the forever-$4.99 rotisserie chicken, Costco provides multiple bargains. However, that does not mean you cannot go all out in the store. Some items in Costco come with a very hefty price tag—here’s 14 that we found.
Private jet membership
Private jets and Costco membership might not seem to go hand in hand, but with a membership to Wheels Up, a private jet service that charges a $17,500 initiation fee, you’ll get a $3,500 Costco Cash Card. That means more shopping opportunities when your jet lands! Check out all the things you can do (and buy) at Costco without a membership.
Caskets
Costco can be there for you when tragedy strikes. You can buy a variety of caskets from Costco through their partnership with Prime Casket Co. But be warned, the cheapest option you have will set you back $900.
Luxury SUV
Should you want to skip a walk to your local dealership, consider buying your next SUV at Costco. For example, a 2020 Cadillac Escalade sells for a cool $75,195 (but you’ll pay way less as a Costco member), and you can bet it comes with all the latest bells and whistles. Use these tips for saving big at Costco, whether or not “SUV” is not on your grocery list.
Engagement ring
Should your fiancé hand you a small box with a Costco logo, rest assured that it’s as high quality as a ring from any other luxe jewelry retailer. Take this emerald-cut platinum wedding ring priced at a cool $14,999.99—it will sparkle like no other and has the official paperwork to back up its quality. The diamonds may be legit, but these are the things you should never buy at Costco.
Sparkly chandelier
To dazzle your guests, consider installing this 178-pound chandelier in your foyer. With its cascading crystal chains of heirloom grand cut crystal and 30 lights, just think how it will make your space sparkle. At $2,499,99 it’s a steal! These items are about to get way more expensive.
Exercise bike
Enjoy working out indoors? The ProForm Tour De France Exercise Bike features 22 levels of magnetic resistance and a 10″ full-color touch-screen display. It’s nearly $800—but think of what you’re spending at your local gym! These are the Costco shopping perks members love most.
Wagyu Beef steak
Is $900 enough to spend on dinner? This Japanese Wagyu New York Strip Loin Roast costs just that. It’s 11 pounds of meat imported from the farms of Japan and is sure to impress your guests with its buttery-sweet, beefy goodness.
