When you’re heading on vacation, you may want to stop at the store to stock up on essentials and save money.

Costco is usually one of the go-to stores, especially for larger families. Plus, if you buy non-perishables, you can bring home what you don’t use, or gift them to another family if you’re flying and don’t have room in your suitcases. If you’re a Costco member, you may remember the announcement made earlier this month that certain members will soon get early entry into the store. Now, that change is about to take place, and we have the schedule!

Costco just officially announced the hours for this early shopping perk for Executive Members. These will begin on June 30th across participating locations in the United States. Monday-Friday, the early shopping hours will be 9–10 AM, Saturdays will be 9–9:30 AM, and Sundays will be 9–10 AM. Look forward to smaller crowds and shorter check-out lines!

It’s important to note that this is only for Executive Members, which is NOT Costco’s lower tier of membership. The lowest tiers are the Gold Star Membership and Business Membership, both of which cost $65 annually; however, these are not included in this perk. The Executive Membership is priced at $130 per year, and only these members will be allowed in during this additional shopping time. An Executive Membership also gets you an annual 2% reward on all eligible Costco purchases, up to $1,250 per year. Plus, you can take advantage of additional benefits and discounts on select Costco services.

Many fans are READY for this perk to return. While Executive Members used to have this perk, it was phased out in recent years. Now, this perk will finally be returning!

Hot tip! You can find some great deals at Costco, and you can often find deals on Disney Gift Cards to use for your Disney vacation and Disney souvenirs. Sometimes, you can find deals on tickets to the parks; we recently spotted a deal on 3-Day, Park Hopper tickets for Disneyland Resort. The three-day tickets cost $449.99 and included a $30 Disney Dining Card, park-hopper add-on, and Lightning Lane Multi Pass. We have even spotted deals on Universal Annual Passes at Costco!
