The calendar has flipped to August, so the countdown to the end of summer has begun. In a few short weeks, it will be time to wring out the swimsuit, bid adieu to the outdoor pools and brace yourself for back to school. That said, summer always comes with one last hurrah — the Labor Day cookout.

Throwing some hot dogs on the grill and spreading condiments on the table while friends and family gather can be good for the heart, but it might be the best for your wallet. Unless you’re a Costco shopper, of course. Costco has plenty of options to make a mouth-watering BBQ that will help you and your wallet feel full.
