Costco is selling Ozempic and Wegovy for half the price
Starting October 2025, Costco members with valid prescriptions can get a month's supply of Ozempic or Wegovy for $499—about 50% less than the usual out-of-pocket price.
Heads up: this deal is only for cash payers, since most insurance plans still don't cover these meds.
GLP-1s' popularity and prescription stats
Ozempic and Wegovy are GLP-1 meds that help control appetite and insulin, making them popular for weight loss and type 2 diabetes.
Demand is huge—over 200,000 Wegovy prescriptions are filled weekly in the US, and by mid-2025, nearly 12% of Americans had tried GLP-1s to lose weight.
What's the deal with this new program?
High costs and limited supply have pushed some people toward cheaper, compounded versions.
Costco's partnership with Novo Nordisk aims to make real, FDA-approved meds more affordable and accessible—even while many health plans aren't covering them yet.
This direct-to-member program offers a more affordable and reliable way to get these in-demand treatments.
