Beginning on June 1, the store's membership card will increase $5 in cost. That means a standard yearly membership is now $60. If you have a Goldstar, Business or Executive level membership, you'll be feeling the pinch as well. Each of those will be upped $10 from $110 per year to $120. This is the first time in five years that Costco has increased their fees.
But don't think this jump in prices means that Costco is struggling to make ends meet. The company has been enjoying a record number of sales and currently has around 35 million members in North America alone.
