Remember when you were a kid and you waited for Christmas catalogs to come in the mail? Some of those catalogs still publish annually, but frankly, we’ve mostly let online and in-store shopping take over on that front. Now we wait for more affordable catalogs—like the Costco Holiday Savings Book—to come around and make the season bright. Costco’s guide to all the deals you can grab in advance of your celebrations this year is finally here, and we’re ready to load up our carts.
Even if you didn’t get your guide in the mail, helpful Redditors have added all the details in a series of posts. That’s because there are three parts to the savings. The first slate of deals starts November 1 and runs until November 17, allowing you to stock up for Thanksgiving. The second act, which takes place November 18 to December 2, includes offers for Turkey Day, plus treats and deals for the December holidays. The third slate of sales also ends on December 2, but begins online on November 28, Thanksgiving Day. It starts in-store on Black Friday, the following day. These are our picks for the best healthy deals in each section of the sale.
The Best Costco Deals from November 1 to 17
Rao’s Homemade Marinara Sauce
$3 off packs of two 28-ounce jars
OK, you’re probably not planning to serve spaghetti to your Thanksgiving guests, but if family is around before or after the big day, our pick for best overall jarred pasta sauce certainly makes dinner easier. We’re going to stock up, because it’s $3 off and there’s a limit of six sets of two 28-ounce jars.
General Mills Chex Cereal Variety Pack
$2.70 off each 52.75-ounce pack of three cereals
We’re buying these packs for a light, easy breakfast during our kitchen’s busiest season. (Or, let’s be honest, a big batch of delicious snack mix that we can share with friends and family.)

What is a cheese plate or charcuterie board without crackers? This pack of original, pepper and sesame water crackers provides a mild vessel for scores of yummy toppings.

Philadelphia Original Cream Cheese Spread
$3 off each 3-pound tub
Maybe you’re more of a dips and spreads person than a charcuterie person. More power to you, but you’ll likely be needing lots of cream cheese. After all, there’s nothing like cream cheese to bring body and tang to recipes like our Pecan Pie Dip with Crunchy Pie-Crust Dippers. At Costco, it comes in 3-pound tubs and during this promotion, they’re $3 off with no limit to how many you can bring home.
Kirkland Signature Parchment Paper
$3 off two packages of parchment
Baking season calls for parchment paper. Kirkland Signature brand is available in pairs of 205-square foot packages, more than enough for your cookie output this year. If it’s not, there’s a limit of five per purchase, for $3 off apiece.
The Best Costco Deals from November 18 to December 2

And there’s no limit to how many 6-ounce double packs you can take home at $3 off regular price. That’s plenty of prosciutto, whether it comes from Citterio or Fratelli Beretta brands.
Reynolds Wrap Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
$5.30 off packs of two rolls of foil
Tenting your turkey is just the beginning of what a good aluminum foil can do for you at this time of year. You already know you need lots of it, so get this deal of $5.30 off two 150-square-foot packages while you can. The only thing keeping you from stocking up for the year is the limit of three.
