Costco shoppers who may be struggling with the high cost of groceries are getting a bit of relief in the form of a monthly credit.
Costco and Instacart are giving 'executive' members a new perk for same-day deliveries starting June 30.
If you have an executive membership card with Costco in Canada and the United States, you will automatically get a $10 monthly credit toward sameday.costco.ca, or Costco via Instacart for an order of $150 or more, Instacart announced in a press release this week.
Instacart offers delivery services of the products purchased from the members-only warehouse retailer. Costco teamed up with Instacart for same-day delivery in 2017.
A personal executive membership, advertised as having the 'best value' and 'exclusive benefits,' costs $130, not including sales tax. The deal includes an annual two per cent reward for up to $1,250 on eligible purchases, Costco services discounts and two membership cards.
While Canada's overall inflation rate is at 1.7 per cent, down a full percentage point from the same time last year, it's not the same story for groceries. In fact, food bought from stores increased 3.8 per cent on a year-over-year basis, according to Statistics Canada.

First Nations Bank reaches funding deal for Whistler development

The village of Whistler, B.C. is seen as the sun sets on the snow capped mountains. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jonathan Hayward WHISTLER — First Nations Bank of Canada says it has reached a deal to help fund a new Indigenous-led development in Whistler, B.C. The money is going to Lil'wat Business Group to help it build Tseqwtsúqum, a housing and commercial space planned for the Function Junction neighbourhood of the mountain town. Funding is coming through the Indigenous Land Development Program that First Nations Bank is running in partnership with the Canada Infrastructure Bank. The federal agency agreed last year to put up to $100 million to support the program, which provides below-market rate loans to help Indigenous communities realize their development goals. First Nations Bank did not disclose financial terms of the Lil'wat Business Group deal, but says it is its largest yet under its Indigenous Land Development Program. The bank said in February as it announced the first deals through the program that it had $140 million in projects initially approved, with Canada Infrastructure Bank covering $30 million of the funding. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 28, 2025.
