'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping.
We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites.
And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions.
This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay.
Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews.
Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader.
Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services.
Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards.
If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article.

Costco is a membership-based wholesale retailer.
Non-members can shop with a guest account online, but only members can access the full savings for the store's sales events (non-members can expect a 5% markup on purchases, and some deals are members-only).
Memberships start at $65 a year (and right now, Costco is offering a $45 gift card to those who join with promo code SPRING26 , so it's like you're getting a membership for $20).
Personally, besides being a commerce editor, I'm a Costco Executive Member and a frequent Costco shopper.
These are my favorite Costco deals right now.

Amazon's Big Spring Sale returns March 25-31, 2026.
You can expect deals across all categories, as well as competing deals from retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Costco.
How did we choose these early Amazon Spring Sale deals?
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy -- devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend.
Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending.
Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping.
The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
