Apple iPad 32G 9.7” – $249.99
Get your hands on the latest model of Apple’s iPad at Costco. The store is offering $70 off, bringing the price down from $319.99 to $249.99. An iPad is lighter and offers better battery life than a laptop, but makes reading e-books and checking email a lot easier than on your phone. This is an online-only deal available only on Thanksgiving Day, November 22, 2018.
32 Degrees Ladies’ Plush Lined Tech Fleece Jacket – $14.99

It comes in three colors – black, green, and red – and is soft to the touch inside and out. It’s $4 off the normal price as part of the Black Friday deals at Costco, bringing it from $18.99 to $14.99.
Bose On-Ear Bluetooth Headphones – $99.99

The Bluetooth controls on the right earcup can adjust volume, change tracks, and allow you to take calls that have a noise-rejecting dual-mic system so that phone calls are crystal clear. Normally retailing at $159.99, Black Friday shoppers can claim them for $99.99 – a $60 difference!

At home or abroad, track everything from your steps to your sleep patterns to your heart rate with the sleek Fitbit Versa. It comes with large and small black bands plus a large white band. There are also more than 15 exercise modes, it can store and play over 300 songs, and has a water resistance to 50 meters.
The battery lasts for four days and can remind you when to exercise or when it’s time to catch your flight. Costco hasn’t published how much the SmartWatch bundle normally is, but it will be $50 off. This is also an online-only deal that starts Thanksgiving day.
Ubio Labs 10,000 mAh Power Bank Bundle 2-pack – $29.99

Ubio Labs Lightning Cable Charging Kit – $22.99

While it’s only for Apple products, it comes with two lightning cables, a dual USB wall charger with LED charge indicators, and a dual USB car charger.
The plug prongs fold away so it takes up less space in your bag and it charges up to 50% faster than a standard plug. Usually $29.99, the bundle is $7 off, but only online and starting Thanksgiving day.
Microsoft Surface Pro 8th Generation Bundle, Intel Core i5 – $799.99
If a tablet won’t cut it for your workload but you don’t want to commit to the size and weight of a laptop, the Surface Pro might just be the device you need. This device is super compact but more powerful and multi-functional than a tablet. It’s also not as cumbersome or expensive as a laptop but it can be used as either one.
Costco usually sells this particular model for $999.99 but shoppers can get it for $799.99 starting as early as November 16-26, 2018. An upgraded model, with an Intel Core i7 processor, is also $200 off, making it $1,399.99. However, that model is only available online during those dates.
