Employees know all the tips and tricks for getting the most out of Costco. Here’s what we’ve learned:
- Learn the price codes: If a price ends in 99 cents, it’s the regular wholesale price, and a price that ends in 97 cents is the final discount price, meaning it won’t go down any further.
- Stock up on holiday items when the season ends: They get lots of returns after the holidays, and the returned items are usually discounted by 50% to make them sell faster.
- Learn the store layout to prevent impulse buys: Noting where your favorite products are shelved can help you optimize your next shopping trip and avoid random purchases.
- Buy bulk items with friends to share the cost: Divvying up bigger sets of things, like mega-packs of batteries or toilet paper, with other people is an excellent way to reduce waste while still taking advantage of bulk pricing.
- Look out for gift cards for “free money” at other stores: Costco frequently sells gift cards to other stores and restaurants at lower prices. For instance, you can buy a gift card worth $80 for just $50 or get a discount on a multipack of event tickets.
Now that we’ve learned some amazing hacks, keep reading to see which items employees say are worth buying the most!
