Summary
A copy ofCostco’s Black Friday holiday ad booklet has been scanned and shared online, revealing the wholesaler’s lineup of discounted goods planned for the November sale season. This year’s Costco Black Friday ad is surprisingly thin on video game-related items, with no consoles or individual video games included. There are, however, plenty of steep discounts on televisions,PCs, tablets, monitors, and more. Keep in mind that Costco is a members-only wholesaler, so these deals are exclusive.
Black Friday this year will fall on November 24. But just like previous years, Black Friday is now more of a holiday season event than a single day. Costco will be breaking its Black Friday sale into three phases. The first phase will last from October 30 through November 12 and includes both online and warehouse discounts. The second phase refreshes the sales online and in-warehouse, running from November 13 through 27. The final phase starts on Black Friday itself and runs through the weekend, from November 24 through 27, with a digital-only early start on Thanksgiving, November 23.
TVs are always a high-demand target for holiday shoppers and Costco is delivering some great discounts for the season. Costco starts hot on Oct. 30 with a behemoth 85"Samsung Neo QLED 8K LCD TVat $3.999. Samsung Neo QLED, OLED, and UHD options for 4K from 85" down to 55" are available, too. The Nov. 13 phase has huge discounts on a 70" Samsung 4K UHD TV at $479.99 and an LG 75" 4K UHD TV at $579.99. Thanksgiving Day will have the cheapest TV of Black Friday, though, with an online-only $89.99 deal on a 32" 720p Hisense LED LCD TV.
