As a grandparent, you probably look forward to spoiling your grandkids over the holidays but worry about how you’ll afford to buy all their gifts. After all, you might be struggling to cover rising costs on your limited paychecks or living off Social Security in retirement.

While Costco has fewer cheap toys than its competitors, the warehouse club still sells several affordable products that can suit kids of many ages. Here are seven budget-friendly Costco holiday gifts to consider for your grandchildren. Most will require spending no more than $25 per child.
