How Shopping For Flooring At Costco Will Save You Money

Anyone who has been to Costco knows how amazing their prices can be — whether you are looking for your next computer, buying household items in bulk, or even looking to try out a new flooring trend in your home. If you are a Costco member and you are looking to purchase different flooring, you will more than likely be able to save a good chunk of change at Costco. When looking at the retailer’s vinyl flooring options, for example, you have some great options, specifically from Mohawk Home.

The Mohawk Home 12MM Thick Laminate Wood Plank Flooring has great reviews on Costco’s website, with one reviewer saying, “Very good quality, nice color, price is reasonable [compared] to other places for the same brand…” This flooring comes in two different color options, a dark and light oak, and has a lifetime limited residential warranty, as well as a 10-year light commercial warranty.

Another reviewer on Costco’s website said, “My contractor just installed this in my basement, and it looks so good and is so comfortable underfoot that I wish I had used this in the main house. Highly recommend this product.”

Comparing Costco flooring to other retailers

As mentioned above, Costco offers many DIY floor options, but for the sake of comparison, we are going to be looking at the Mohawk Home 12MM Laminate Wood Plank Flooring. At Costco, this flooring costs $43.99 per 17.18 square feet when purchased online. This comes out to a total of $2.56 per square foot.

This flooring is exclusive to Costco, however, Lowe’s and Home Depot do offer flooring that is similar. At Lowe’s, the Mohawk Elite Sand Cloud vinyl plank flooring is an option, but it has to be bought by the pallet. One pallet covers 1,431.5 square feet and costs $3.32 per square foot (or a total of $4,738.50). While this is a good price for the amount of flooring it is, it is still more expensive than Costco’s flooring. It is also 6 millimeters thick instead of 12 millimeters thick.

Home Depot offers the same flooring as Lowe’s, and you can purchase it at a much lower quantity. At Home Depot, the Mowhawk Elite Sand Cloud Click Lock Waterproof Lux Vinyl Plank Flooring is available in 10 colors, and one case covers 28.63 square feet. This means you would pay $3.31 per square foot (or a total of $94.76 per case). Home Depot does, however, offer you the option to calculate how much flooring you might need based on your square footage or the length and width of your room, so it could be useful to utilize the tool on the brand’s website to help you determine how much flooring you will need, even if you ultimately decide to head to Costco for the better deal.
