Costco price checker
by warehouse
Enter an item number, product link or name and a ZIP code. See what Costco charges at the 9 nearest warehouses and online, side by side.
Costco prices by location, in one check
Costco prices are set per warehouse. The same item can carry a different shelf price, a local markdown or a different instant saving a few miles away, and the costco.com price is often higher than any of them. Checking that by hand means looking up one warehouse at a time.
This checker does it in one step. It finds the warehouses closest to your ZIP code, prices the item at each one, and lines them up against the online price, with the cheapest warehouse highlighted. Resellers use it to source, brands to see how their item is priced in the field, and analysts to spot regional pricing.
It runs on the Scavio Costco API: the warehouse locator and the warehouse prices endpoint. You get 5 free price checks a day, no account. To price a whole list every day, get an API key and run it daily through the API.

Frequently asked questions
What does the Costco price checker show?+
For one item, it shows the costco.com price and the shelf price at the 9 Costco warehouses nearest your ZIP code: warehouse name, city, distance in miles, price after instant savings, any active promotion, and the price code. It also shows the lowest and highest warehouse price and the spread between them.
Do Costco prices differ by warehouse?+
They can. Each warehouse has its own shelf price, promotions and markdowns. In an October 2026 check, the same item (1492456, Kirkland Signature albacore tuna, 8-count) was $17.99, $18.79 or $18.99 depending on the warehouse. Warehouses close to each other often match, so a wider ZIP search shows more variation.
Is the costco.com price the same as the warehouse price?+
Often not. On October 19, 2026, Kirkland Signature Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (item 692731) was $20.99 on costco.com and $15.39 at every warehouse that priced it near ZIP 98052 and near ZIP 60614. The checker shows both side by side and tells you the gap.
What can I type into the item box?+
A Costco item number (like 1492456), a costco.com product URL, or a product name. For a name, the checker prices the top costco.com match and lists other matches you can pick instead. Item numbers and URLs are for costco.com (US).
What do the price codes like .97 and .00 mean?+
Members read the cents ending of a warehouse shelf price as a code: .97 for clearance, .00 or .88 for a manager markdown, and .49, .79 or .89 for a special buy. Costco does not publish these codes, so treat them as a hint. They apply to warehouse prices only, never online ones.
Does it show whether the item is in stock?+
It shows whether each warehouse lists a price for the item, which is not the same as stock on the shelf. To check stock, the Scavio API has a separate availability endpoint that returns in-warehouse, pickup and same-day delivery status at up to 10 warehouses, at 1 credit per 5 warehouses.
How many warehouses does it check?+
The 9 warehouses nearest the ZIP code you enter. Through the API you can price any warehouses you choose, up to 10 per call, and up to 20 items in the same call.
Is it free?+
Yes. You get 5 free price checks a day with no account. To keep going, get an API key: 50 free credits on signup, no card required. One check like this costs 3 credits through the API.
Does it work for Costco Canada?+
This page checks costco.com warehouses in the US by ZIP code. Through the API, the prices endpoint also covers costco.ca with country set to ca, and the warehouse locator finds Canadian warehouses by latitude and longitude.
Can I run this from my own code?+
Yes. POST /api/v1/costco/warehouses with a zip returns the nearest warehouses and their ids (1 credit). POST /api/v1/costco/prices with an item_id and up to 10 warehouse_ids returns the online and per-warehouse prices (1 credit for up to 9 warehouses, 2 for 10). Run it daily through the API to track prices over time.
