Costco is making shopping smoother for members with upgrades that simplify in-store visits, speed up checkout, and improve overall convenience.

Right now, you can get a 1-Year Costco Gold Star Membership plus a $40 Digital Costco Shop Card* for $65.

Costco can get a little hectic when you got at peak hours. If you don't enjoy shopping bumper to bumper, these are the worst days and times to go.

Recently, a Costco member took to Reddit to complain about the fact that the warehouse club giant does not do a good job of labeling its aisles. And that set off a lightbulb in members’ heads. Soon after, that thread was flooded with comments by Costco members who experienced the same frustration.
