Forget Amazon Prime Day—Costco’s Member Week May Save

Costco Member – Amazon Prime Day runs June 23–26, but Costco shoppers are likely to see a competing Member Savings Week with familiar monthly markdowns—plus deal picks selected for discounts of at least 20%.
When the countdown clock ticks down to Tuesday. June 23. the online shopping frenzy usually starts—and this year. Amazon Prime Day runs through Friday. June 26. That means two full days of urgency for deals. and a reminder that Prime Day doesn’t always land in the same month. In the past, it was held in July.
Costco won’t be chasing Amazon with a Prime-style event, at least not by name. Instead, the expectation is that Costco will hold a Member Savings Week sale to compete. Alongside that, shoppers should still see the store’s usual monthly price markdowns during the same period.
The most important part for deal hunters is figuring out what’s actually worth buying. This is where the deal list takes a hard turn toward proof, not hype. The picks are coming from a frequent Costco shopper and ZDNET editor approach: only deals that are at least 20% off—or are so rarely discounted that the discount is still meaningful—make the cut. Price comparison tools and trackers are used to check whether something is really on sale and how often it drops. Reviews from customers who already own and use the items are also reviewed for what matters to people living with the purchase. not just looking at it.
There may be some personal testing in the mix too. In addition to research and comparison shopping, the goal is framed in plain terms: deliver the most accurate advice possible so shoppers can buy smarter—not just faster.
Somewhere between Amazon’s specific dates and Costco’s likely Member Savings Week calendar. the real story is how shoppers decide where to put their money. Prime Day is a set window—June 23 through June 26—and Costco’s answer is expected to be a competing membership-focused event. layered over the store’s normal monthly markdowns. For anyone planning a big cart, that difference may matter as much as the size of the discount.

So Prime Day is fake now? Like Costco stole it?
I just saw the part about “at least 20% off” and I’m like ok but what if it’s 20% off a price that was never good to begin with? Still gonna check anyway bc Costco usually gets me on paper towels and random stuff.
Wait the article says Tuesday June 23 is when the online frenzy starts, but Amazon is June 23-26 so isn’t it the same exact time? So Costco is just matching dates? I’m confused how this helps if the deals overlap.
Costco “Member Savings Week” sounds like a marketing name but the idea of not chasing hype is cool I guess. I’ve been burned buying during Prime Day before when the “discount” was basically nothing. Also I love how it says countdown clock ticks down Tuesday like that’s gonna make me responsible with my money lol.
