Become a member
To shop at Costco, the most important thing is to first become a member. During the initial period of a new store opening, Costco offers discounts for members who pre-order their membership, with a RMB 100 discount; paying only an annual fee of 199 yuan grants you access to a full year of membership services. After becoming a member, you can enjoy various shopping discounts and bring along two adult non-members each time you shop. Member registration only requires providing a Hong Kong identity card or passport.
But please note that when applying for membership, if you plan to shop at Costco during your travels, be sure to apply for a physical card as some overseas locations do not accept electronic membership cards. Additionally, as long as you personally visit a Costco store within the validity period and apply for cancellation of your membership, you can exit at any time and receive a full refund of the membership fee paid.
New Store Specialties / Must-Buys
Since its grand opening, Costco's new store has been selling out of must-try items such as Ta Er Style Sour Fish, Japanese Matsuya Beef Rice Bowl, and Strawberry Bread.
A "Tài'ěr Pickled Fish" ready-to-eat pack for 3 to 4 people is a must-buy choice.
Matsuya has yet to open a branch in Hong Kong. Its signature dish, "Matsuya Beef Rice," is available for purchase at Costco in Shenzhen.
A must-buy is also the perfect-scoring strawberry milk bread with a punch card.
