Costco Thanksgiving 2026 starts with the date that matters: Costco warehouses and gas stations in Canada are closed on Monday, October 12, 2026, so do your shopping by Sunday. A Grade A air-chilled turkey was $6.99 a kilo in Western Canada on October 2, and the 12-inch pumpkin pie $7.99. Our advice: go early on Saturday or Sunday, and fill up the car before Monday.

When is the best time to shop Costco for Thanksgiving?
Before the weekend if you can. With Monday closed, Saturday and Sunday are the last days to shop. Buy shelf-stable items (gravy, cranberries) earlier in the week, pick up the fresh turkey and pies last, and keep the pie in the fridge: it's a custard pie.
