Summer is in full swing, which means it's time to prepare for fall, back-to-school purchases and upcoming Labor Day get-togethers. If you're looking for something a little more long-term and day-to-day, you should consider this deal on a Costco Wholesale membership. While it's not discounted, you can currently get yourself a one-year Gold Star membership for $60 on StackSocial, and you'll also get a $40 gift card. You can also opt for the Executive Gold Star membership and get a $40 gift card, too. Plus, the Costco membership price is going up to $65 in September, so grabbing this now will save you five bucks.
StackSocial doesn't list a specific date for when this deal will end, but it must be redeemed by Sept. 8 in order for you to receive your credit. We recommend making your purchase sooner rather than later if you want to take advantage of this offer. Keep in mind, this offer is only available only to new customers, or those whose memberships have been expired for more than 18 months. If you've been thinking of picking up an annual Costco membership, this puts more cash back in your pocket.

With a Costco Gold Star subscription, you'll get one membership card for your household. It allows you to shop at any Costco warehouse worldwide, as well as online at Costco.com. While Costco is a great place to save on groceries and other everyday essentials, it offers a lot more. A Gold Star membership also means you can use Costco's gas stations and pharmacies, as well as Costco's optical and hearing aid centers. Costco frequently has seasonal plants, decor, furniture, electronics and other products as well.
