If you like shopping for bargains, chances are that you’ve probably been shopping at a Costco Wholesale store before. Known for selling items in mass quantities, but at tremendous discounts, you’ll find Costco always packed with shoppers that are looking to save money.
Did you know, however, that there are secrets to shopping at Costco that most people don’t know about? Well if you don’t know about these secrets, you’re in luck. The next time you’re out shopping at Costco, pay special attention to the pricing labels. It may just save you whole lot more money!
The secret in Costco’s pricing labels lies in the ending number. As you know, most stores usually end their items in .99. At Costco, however, you’ll sometimes see prices that end with a different number. Each different ending number has a special meaning…
If you see a price ending in .97, that means the the item on sale is on clearance. This probably means that the item has been priced low on purpose in order to get rid of inventory. Make sure you take advantage of the clearance if it’s on an item you want!
If you see an item on sale ending in .00 or .88, that means the item has been marked as a manager’s special. This usually means the price is significantly lower than it usually is. Items marked this way probably have limited quantity, so be sure to pick up the item right away if it’s something you want.
The last thing to look out for is a asterisk in the top right corner of a Costco pricing label. This means that the item has been set to be discontinued. So if you see an asterisk for an item that you routinely buy at Costco, make sure you stock up with as much of it as you can!
