How did we choose these Costco deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. For this story, I looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
I also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals I’m recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
Is Costco closed on Labor Day?
Yes, Costco stores will be closed on Labor Day 2025, which is Sept. 1 this year, following the store’s usual holiday schedule. You can still order online from Costco.com, but your order won’t be processed until after the holiday.
