Costco's Not Just for Budget Shoppers: These 5 Items Cost More Than $2,000

Many people join Costco so they can save money. But that doesn't automatically mean that every single item you'll find at Costco comes with a low price. Here are some items that will have you shelling out upward of $2,000.

1. Harwood 5-piece Fabric Modular Sectional with Power Footrest

You may not think of Costco as a great place to buy furniture. But actually, Costco carries a wide range of furniture, from dining room sets to items for your bedroom.

As you might expect, though, some of Costco's furniture won't come cheap, and this five-piece Harwood sectional is a great example. At a price point of $2,499.99, it's going to result in quite the hefty credit card tab. However, Costco is known as a retailer that stands behind the products it sells, so that should give you some comfort if you're contemplating a furniture purchase.

Also, your $2,499.99 includes delivery and setup of your new sectional, plus the removal of your old one, if applicable. So in that regard, you might save yourself the cost of having your old couch hauled away.

You should also note that Costco prices can vary between what's listed online and available in stores. Prices can also vary from store to store.

2. LG 86" Class - QNED85 Series - 4K UHD QNED MiniLED TV

If your goal is to turn your TV room into a virtual movie theater, then an 86-inch TV might do the trick. And this LG model could offer the viewing experience you're after. But at a price point of $2,799.99, you might really have to dip into your savings to swing it.

That said, this purchase will entitle you to a $100 streaming credit toward services that include Google Play, Paramount+, and Sling TV. Plus, it comes with an impressive five-year warranty that may make you feel more comfortable with the idea of buying a higher-priced TV.

3. Microsoft Surface Laptop 5

If you're self-employed and your work hinges on having a quality laptop, this Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 could be a good buy despite its $2,299.99 price point. It comes with a 15-inch touchscreen, 32 GB of memory, and a 12th Gen Intel Core i7-1255U Processor. It also includes a 15-month subscription of Microsoft Office Home. Plus, when you buy this laptop from Costco, you get free tech support and a two-year warranty.

4. Fine jewelry

It's possible to spend more than $20,000 on a single piece of Costco jewelry. But if that price point is out of reach for you, you should know that Costco has plenty of fine jewelry items in the $2,000 to $3,000 range, including this aquamarine and diamond 14-karat white gold bracelet that costs $2,199.99. If you need an exceptional gift for a special occasion, it pays to check out Costco's jewelry selection.

5. Honeywell 14kW Home Standby Generator with Transfer Switch

Power outages can put a damper on your plans and make life at home unpleasant. They can also, in many cases, cost you money via lost work time (if you do your job from home) and spoiled food. Costco sells a host of standby generators, including this Honeywell model. It comes with a transfer switch so that when the power goes out, you'll seamlessly move over to generator power without having to do a thing. You'll also get a three-year limited manufacturer's warranty.

Clearly, Costco isn't just for budget shoppers. There's a range of products available at Costco, so if you're not sure whether a membership is right for you, it pays to at least browse online to get a sense of what Costco's inventory looks like.
