This popular giant chain is more than just rotisserie chicken and has larger-than-life flat-screen TVs. Typically located near the center of the store, the toy section changes frequently throughout the year and grows in number as seasonal items begin to fill the aisles.

Costco doesn’t disappoint with a wide selection of toys, from play kitchens to plush toys to rare Lego sets. And if you’re in the store, don’t skip the book table. With the busy holiday season approaching, now is an ideal time to explore all the club has to offer and enjoy more savings and convenience from your membership when you need it most. Do you need to sign up for membership? Don’t worry. We can help you save on one of them.


There are so many gifts that will delight children of all ages. We can’t list them all, but we’ll round up some of the most popular toys that will be sold at Costco so far this season. And while you’re at it, compare prices to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

The exact same workbench can be purchased at several different retailers, but it doesn’t include tools or project kits, and at 30% less when you buy it from Costco, it seems like a win-win all around.

LEGO for cheap at Costco

Costco is a great place to get the most popular LEGO building sets at low prices. Retailers have several sets available now in stores and online. When purchasing online, most sets are sold in bundles of two or more, further increasing your savings. However, if you shop in-store, you can purchase sets individually. Let me show you a few different scenarios.

LEGO Talking Sorting Hat

Once created, this interactive hat comes to life with a moving mouth and 31 different sounds. The Sorting Hat includes 561 pieces and will make a magical gift for any Harry Potter fan. You can purchase them individually online and in stores at a lower price than other popular LEGO retailers.

The chrysanthemum and plum blossom set is a bundled product online, but can be purchased separately in the warehouse.

LEGO Poinsettia and Christmas Tree Bundle

Untitled design 2024 10 23T160250.285

The LEGO seasonal sets have arrived, and considering how viral the Christmas tree went last year, they’re sure to sell out quickly. New this year are poinsettias, which are gorgeous and easy to make. This would be a fun activity for the family to make together and display during the holiday season. These two holiday sets are sold in a bundle online, but I only found the poinsettia set in stores.
