Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible. If you would like to connect with me you can do so on my Linkedin page, on our site’s Facebook page, or write me an email. Thanks for checking us out and I look forward to hearing from you!

Costco’s Independence Day 2023 Ad & Sale Details

Updated on Wednesday June 21, 2023: Costco’s member-only July 4th savings ad has just been posted below. The deals this year will not only run through the 4th of July weekend, but all the way until July 12th or while in-stock supplies last. Just remember that all Costco warehouse stores nationwide will be closed on July 4th itself in observance of the Independence Day holiday.

When browsing the flyer be aware that some deals are only offered at costco.com while others can only be picked up at your local warehouse store. Certain items will also have quantity limits in place, limiting the number of the same item you can buy at the advertised sale price. Have a nice and safe 4th of July weekend!

So how do these deals compare to those we see over Thanksgiving weekend? You can see for yourself on our Costco Black Friday and Cyber Monday pages.
