Many shoppers heading to Costco this month may be shopping with airtight grocery lists. If there’s wiggle room in your budget to include a few extra purchases, what can you spend your money on that provides a solid return on investment?
GOBankingRates reviewed items for sale across various Costco departments and chose a few runners-up, along with a winning item, which are worth shopping in May. Do you agree with our suggestions for the best Costco buys?
Runner-up: Chinet Classic Lunch Paper Plates
Now through May 26, Chinet classic lunch paper plates are on sale for $4 off their original price. This brings the total down to $18.99 and with 225 plates included in every package, Costco members only end up paying about eight cents per plate.
As a runner-up, adding a great sale on an essential paper product was a no-brainer on our end. May is full of festive holidays including Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and graduation where paper plates are a must-have and must-buy. Whether you’re hosting or attending as a guest, it’s a good idea to stock up to make sure you don’t run out. Just remember to limit two sets per purchase while shopping at Costco.
Runner-Up: 32 Degrees Ladies’ Cool Tee (3-Pack)
Warm weather months mean it’s time to dig out the t-shirts — or shop for new tees if your old ones are too worn out. Costco members shopping 32 Degrees ladies’ cool tees will receive $3 off their purchase now through May 27 and pay just $10.99.
Each package includes three tees. Shop the black pack for one black, one blue and one purple tee or shop the white pack for one white, one heather gray and one pink tee. You might even shop both if you want to add a pop of color to your summer wardrobe for less. Women’s sizes also come in a wide range from small to XX-large.
Winner: Cascade Mountain Tech Ultralight Highback Chair (2-Pack)
If you want to shop the Cascade Mountain Tech ultralight highback chairs, we recommend doing it as soon as possible. These chairs are $20 off their original price of $89.99 now through May 11.Â
Summer will be here before you know it and if you’re planning to go camping or attend outdoor summer concerts at the park, having these chairs will be essential for your overall comfort and enjoyment. They made our winning item as the best buy at Costco this month because shoppers get two chairs with their purchase. After the manufacturer’s savings have been applied, this comes out to paying about $39.99 per chair.Â
As an added shopping bonus, the Cascade chairs live up to their ultralight name. Each chair weighs up to four pounds and is fully collapsible with a carry bag to make transportation a breeze. A removable and adjustable headrest is also included to ensure maximum comfort as you relax.
