With Instacart pricing jacked up on Instacart in NYC, at least Costco same-day isn’t (at least for now). Stack that with a nice promotion:

The $10 Promo Deal

Get $10 off your order of $35 or more on Costco Same-Day delivery. (Ends 02/22).

• Promo Code: WINTERSAMEDAY26

What is Costco Same-Day?

If you haven’t used it, it’s Costco’s express delivery service powered by Instacart. You get your bulk goods delivered to your door in as little as 1 hour. You do need a Costco membership to use it, and Instacart+ to make it cheaper.

Is it Worth It?

Here is the math:

• The Price Difference: Instacart lists lower item prices but charges a service fee. Costco Same-Day has slightly higher item prices but zero service fees. In the end, the total cost is usually a wash (it’s mostly a marketing distinction).
• The Minimum: Unlike Instacart, which allows orders under $35 (with a penalty fee), Costco Same-Day requires a minimum of $35. That means this $10 off code effectively applies to any valid order you place!

The Verdict

Shopping in-store is always the most cost-effective option, and Costco Online charges for shipping. However, with this $10 promo, you offset the delivery markup, making this a great value for saving time.

💡 Sam’s Pro Tip: Since the service is powered by Instacart, you can pay using Instacart gift cards if you have them! Check here to see if you have free Instacart credits
