These Secrets To Shopping At Costco Will Help You Save Even More

November 15, 2014

Costco is a great place to save money, but these secrets will help you understand which products are the real steals!

Avoid products with prices ending in .99 – these are full price.

Labels with an asterisk are reserved for items that are discontinued.

Usually, these are priced cheaply to get them off shelves.

Prices ending in .49 or .79 are a manufacturers special offer.

These prices usually apply to products which are heaving a trial run and are usually priced cheaper than their retail price.

Watch out for products that end in .00, the manager wants these items off the shelf for good.

That means that they're priced down and nearly out of stock.

Items with prices ending in .97 are deals decided by the store manager.

These won't be around for long and can offer amazing discounts.

To sum it up:

• .99 = Full price
• * = Discontinued
• .79 or .49 = Manufacturer special offer
• .00 = Priced down, nearly out of stock
• .97 = Store manager deals
