- Seagate Portable 5TB Hard Drive for $90
Costco's long-running sale on a Seagate 5TB Portable Hard Drive for $90 is still available, and expected to continue at this price until May 7.
The deal is for Costco members only, and includes free shipping.
Add sales tax.
This is a "portable" external hard drive, about the size of a stack of 3x5 index cards.
It powers itself from the included USB data cable, instead of separate cables for data & power used by larger "external" hard drives.
The Seagate we bought last month began to be a regular workhorse at backing-up important files.
It performs quite well, storing 50 GB of files in 9 minutes with enough total storage space to backup years worth of photos, videos, and personal files.

Free shipping. Add sales tax.
This is a "portable" external hard drive that is about the size of a bi-fold wallet packed with credit cards.
Also, it benefits from using one cable for data and power, versus an "external" hard drive that uses two cables.
When plugged-in to a computer's USB 3.0 port, ours provides backup storage that can write at about 100 megabytes per second.

- 250 Disposable Face Masks for $5 or $7.50 (expired)
One box of 50 disposable face masks costs $6.99.
Add quantity 5 to the cart, and the price changes to $5 for the entire order, with free shipping.
Costco members pay $5 (plus tax).
Non-Costco members pay $7.50 (plus tax) after non-member surcharge.
These are the generic blue face coverings that you may see worn by store employees, delivery drivers, and police & fire personnel.
Masks, even cheap ones like these, prevent infected people from spreading the virus, whether they know they are a carrier or not.
It's one reason doctors have traditionally worn generic masks to protect their patients, and why most establishments require masks to help prevent the spread of Covid-19.
Beware that these masks do not seal around the nose and mouth like many N95 or KN95 masks do.
These masks provide little protection for the mask-wearer catching germs and Covid that are already airborne from infected people nearby who are not wearing a mask.
