Costco Black Friday 2026: Holiday Savings Dates, Thanksgiving Closure, Return Rules and the Best Tech Deals

Costco's Black Friday sale is already running. Its 2026 Holiday Savings event started Oct. 30 and runs through Cyber Monday, Nov. 30, in five waves: Oct. 30–Nov. 15, Nov. 16–30, an online-only Thanksgiving list on Nov. 26, Black Friday weekend Nov. 27–30, and online-only Cyber Monday deals on Nov. 30. Warehouses are closed on Thanksgiving. Below are the dates, the return and price-match rules worth knowing before you buy, and the tech deals on Costco's own Holiday Savings page as of Monday, Nov. 9.

This is No. 7 in our daily Black Friday series, with a different retailer each day through Cyber Monday. So far: Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target, Home Depot and Lowe's. For every retailer's dates in one place, see our Black Friday 2026 overview or Black Friday Central.

Apple: Costco runs an Apple Savings Event in wave 1, wave 2 and Black Friday weekend (limit two), but the ad page doesn't list the Apple products or prices. Search "AppleDeals26HM" on Costco.com during each window to see them.

All prices: Costco Holiday Savings page, checked Nov. 9, 2026, around 11:05 a.m. MT. Some items show two date ranges on Costco's page. We list the date on the item listing itself, so double-check before you go. Skimwire hasn't tested these products.

Returns and price adjustments

• 90-day return window on electronics: TVs, projectors, computers, tablets, smart wearables, cameras, drones and phones have to come back within 90 days of when you received them. Most other merchandise falls under Costco's satisfaction guarantee.
• Price adjustments: for Costco.com orders, a price drop within 30 days of purchase is eligible for a price match. For Holiday Savings items, though, you have to request it while the promotion is still running and within 30 days. For warehouse purchases, ask at the returns counter of the warehouse where you bought it.
• No competitor matching: Costco doesn't match other retailers, and it doesn't match warehouse prices for Costco.com orders.

How to shop Costco Black Friday

• Buying in wave 1 and worried about a lower price later? Keep your receipt and watch the Nov. 16 and Nov. 27 lists. Price adjustments only work inside both the promotion dates and 30 days.
• Check warehouse vs. online: the ad shows warehouse pricing. Some deals are online only, and Costco.com prices can include shipping.
• Thanksgiving is online only: the LG 85-inch deal and the rest of the Nov. 26 list are on Costco.com, because warehouses are closed.
• TV protection is built in on many sets: several Costco TV deals include the Allstate protection bundle or an extended manufacturer's warranty, so compare that before you buy the same model elsewhere.
