20 Shopping Tips Shared By Costco Employees

Pay Attention to Price Tags

On your next Costco shopping trip, be sure to examine the product price tags carefully as you’re perusing the aisles. That’s because the warehouse club has a price tag coding system that could help you score even bigger savings. For example, even though Costco doesn’t widely publicize that it marks down items for clearance, there’s an easy way to tell: Any item with a price that ends with “.97” is on clearance. Another price-tag tip: If you spot an asterisk on the price tag that means it’s not going to be restocked, so you may want to stock up. There’s also a good chance the product has been significantly discounted.

Regardless of the markdown, keep in mind that if it’s a food or household item with a short lifespan, think twice before loading up your shopping cart. These types of items could expire before you’ve had a chance to use them. For example, liquid cleaning products are less effective over time, boxes of cereal can go stale and skincare products that contain SPF can spoil.
