15 Things Retirees Should Buy at Costco

Hearing Aids

All those rock concerts. All those portable listening devices, from Walkmans to iPods. Many boomers are paying the price with hearing loss — and boomers who already turned 65 know that Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids, which can run as much as $3,000 per ear.

Costco’s made some assertive moves into the business of selling and servicing hearing aids, offering an array of devices at reasonable prices. Free hearing tests are even conducted in-store at Costco Hearing Aid Centers. Costco works with four major suppliers of hearing aids, and also carries its own store brand. The Kirkland Signature 8.0 Premium Digital Hearing Instruments Kit costs $1,600 and includes a pair of hearing aids (available in 10 different colors). And, of course, you’ll need batteries: A package of 48 Kirkland Signature hearing aid batteries is $8.49. To compare, a package of 60 hearing aid batteries was selling for $15.30 on Amazon.

  • We are retirees. Love ya Costco. We are thankfully very active right now (ages 79), but are happy to see we can order groceries when the ol shopping days are over......(hopefully not until we meet the speed limit of 100mph)!!! Love, Lil ol lady from Escondido, CA

    • Yes and they are fantastic. It’s called ‘sameday Costco’. We use them all the time. If the menu doesn’t show what you know they carry, describe it the best you can and if they have it the shopper will get it for you. We have had nothing but the greatest shoppers and service.

  • One more item that should be on the list - TRAVEL. Past few years we have saved thousands of dollars booking Cruises (12), Travel Packages (4) and car rentals (7).

  • The iTunes card for Apple was a huge eye opener for me. I’m going to use this, so the charges won’t be on my CC.

  • Thank you; Every dollar saved is very important to be able to maintain a decent standard of
    living .
