Labor Day weekend is one grocery run away, and Costco just handed grill masters everywhere the excuse they were waiting for. Starting August 24 and running through September 6, the Kirkland Signature Grass-Fed Beef Patties (1/3 lb, 15-count, 5 lbs total) dropped from $32.99 to $24.99 — an instant $8 off, no membership app gymnastics required. That works out to under $1.67 a patty for 100% grass-fed, antibiotic-free beef that usually commands a much bigger price tag at the butcher counter. If your Labor Day plan currently consists of “buy something, throw it on the grill,” this is the deal to build the whole cookout around.
Why This Deal Actually Matters
Grass-fed beef isn’t usually the bargain-bin option. Costco’s Kirkland Signature version is 80% lean, 20% fat, pre-formed into even 1/3-pound patties, and vacuum-packed so you can freeze what you don’t use that weekend without any repackaging. At $24.99 for 5 pounds of meat, it undercuts the Kirkland Signature Ground Beef Patties (also $24.99, but not grass-fed) on value per ounce of quality, which makes this week’s coupon book one of the rare moments where the “better” product and the “cheaper” product are the same box. We covered a bunch of other grill-night staples in our Labor Day BBQ shopping list roundup, but this patty deal is easily the single best dollar-for-dollar pickup of the bunch.
“Every deal this week is a Kirkland Signature item, and the focus is clearly Labor Day barbecues,” according to Costco Insider’s breakdown of the August 24th weekly coupons — and the grass-fed patties are the standout of the bunch.
What Else Is In This Week’s Coupon Drop
The beef patties aren’t traveling alone. This same coupon book also knocks the Kirkland Signature Thick Sliced Bacon down to a new lower price of $9.99, and drops the Kirkland Signature Artisan Crust Pepperoni Pizza 33% to $9.99 (from $14.99) — handy if the kids at your cookout would rather skip the burgers entirely. Bacon-wrapped anything is an easy way to dress up a basic burger night, and if you want more ideas for turning a single warehouse haul into multiple meals, our piece on stretching one Costco rotisserie chicken into five dinners is exactly the kind of stretch-your-cart thinking that pairs well with a big meat haul like this.

How To Actually Get This Price
The $8 discount is baked into the Costco September 2026 Coupon Book, which runs August 24 through September 6 — so it should ring up automatically at checkout in-warehouse, no clipping or app-scanning needed, though prices can vary slightly by region (Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico often run a bit different, and online delivery pricing is separate). If you’re a member who tends to lose track of which perks you’re even paying for, it might be worth a refresher on Costco membership perks almost nobody uses before your next trip — some of them stack surprisingly well with big meat-and-produce hauls like this one.
Because these patties come pre-portioned and vacuum-sealed, they’re also one of the easier bulk-meat buys to freeze in smaller batches. Toss half the box straight into the freezer the moment you get home, and you’ve got instant burger night on standby well past the holiday weekend — no re-wrapping, no mystery freezer-burned lump of ground beef six weeks from now.
The Bottom Line
With Labor Day landing right around the corner, this is about as close to a no-brainer as Costco’s coupon book gets: premium grass-fed beef, pre-formed into grill-ready patties, at a price that actually beats the non-grass-fed alternative sitting right next to it. Grab a box (or two, since it freezes beautifully) before the coupon window closes on September 6, and check your local warehouse’s stock before the holiday rush cleans out the meat case. Your Labor Day cookout — and your wallet — will thank you.
