15 Things Retirees Should Buy at Costco

Golf Balls and Tennis Balls

As many athletically inclined retirees might recall, Costco’s highly lauded Kirkland Signature golf balls first hit the market in 2016 — and promptly sold out nationwide. At the time, the balls were being compared to the highly regarded Titleist Pro V1. Yet, a Costco-branded golf ball retailed for 60% less than a Titleist. Kirkland Signature golf balls are back on Costco shelves just as the snowbirds are flocking south and just in time for the holidays. We can’t guarantee your game will improve, but we can guarantee you’ll save a few bucks.

Retirement also means more time for tennis. Costco serves a good deal on Penn Championship Extra Duty tennis balls. A case of 60 balls (20 cans) was selling for $38.99, or about 65 cents per ball. Target offered a 4-can pack of the same Penn tennis balls for $8.69, or more than 74 cents per ball. At Walmart, a 6-can pack ran $21.99, or $1.22 per ball. Not even Dick’s Sporting Goods could top Costo’s price. The specialty retailer was selling a case of 36 Penn balls (12 cans) for $24.99, or just over 69 cents per ball.

This next one may not be something you want to think about, but your bank balance will thank you…..

  • 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 .
