Top Black Friday Bargains at Costco 2025
If you have a Costco membership, you're undoubtedly familiar with the great markdowns that justify the annual fee. For Black Friday, Costco really steps it up a notch, tempting members with incredible savings on everything from gaming consoles to home appliances, and even offers those iconic, affordable $1.50 hot dogs.
I've combed through the promotional flyers to bring you some of the best selections from the WIRED team's recommendations, guiding you to deals that might just make any Costco skeptic reconsider. The following offers are currently live although their availability can vary between local warehouse and online shopping, depending on your region. Most deals will be available until December 1, providing a limited window to take advantage before they expire.
Savings for Kitchen and Home
KitchenAid Stand Mixer: 7 Quart Bowl-Lift
For avid chefs, a KitchenAid mixer is practically a staple. Known for its durability and reliability, it's a must-have for culinary enthusiasts, and has earned itself real estate in kitchens, even when space is tight. This Black Friday, Costco is offering a $100 discount which makes it even more enticing. Available in three colors—though my own is classic silver—I might've chosen differently given the opportunity again.
Ninja Slushie Machine
Praised by WIRED author Matthew Korfhage, the Ninja Slushie Machine transforms your beverages, from health smoothies to party margaritas. Recently launched, there's a 96-ounce version on sale which includes two insulated, bubble-topped cups. This efficient unit not only whips up delicious drinks but keeps them cold for up to 12 hours, all while being effortless to clean between events.
Dyson V15 Detect Vacuum
The Dyson V15 Detect is unrivaled among stick vacuums and is priced $50 less than on Amazon or Best Buy, complete with 10 handy accessories. Its unique feature lets it scan dust, allowing the vacuum to adjust its suction power accordingly. While perhaps more advanced than necessary, it's effective and worth considering.
Top Apple Offers
MacBook Air (M4, 2025)
For those seeking portability, consider the 15-inch MacBook Air, equipped with similar attributes to the Mac Mini. Featuring a 10-core M4 chip, 16 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD, it's acclaimed for its performance speed, vibrant display, and impressive battery life, limited solely by fewer ports and minor heating issues. This offer ends on November 29th or when stocks are depleted.
Mac Mini (M4, 2024)
Though from 2024, the Mac Mini still holds its ground, especially with Costco’s Black Friday price drop. It supports various Apple Intelligence features, housing a 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and the robust 10-core M4 processor, solidifying its value as one of the more affordable options.
Audio and Visual Deals
Sony PlayStation 5 Slim with Disc
Thinking of upgrading your gaming gear? The PS5 Slim is now discounted, with an added bonus: two controllers, making multi-player gaming more feasible. These controllers generally retail separately for $50-75, which means there's significant savings on the console.
Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2
Despite being new, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra 2 headphones see a price cut for Black Friday. With small tweaks from its predecessor, it continues to offer fantastic audio clarity and improved usability, making it a solid choice per WIRED's Ryan Waniata.
Sonos Arc Ultra
The Sonos Arc Ultra, favored for its superb sound and deep bass, gets a price cut that just bests a previous minimum price. For anyone integrated into the Sonos system, the latest mobile app updates only enhance its appeal, praised by our reviewer Ryan Waniata.
