13 Tips To Make Your Costco Shopping Trip Even Better

Ever wonder why certain items are priced at the standard £0.99, while others are strangely pinned at £0.97, and even others at £0.88? Rather strange, right? Well, there’s a pricing code going on at Costco.

Don’t worry, this isn’t complex algebra, and you won’t need to pull out the old college rule notebook and pencil with teeth marks to take notes. It’s rather straightforward and, you won’t have any issues remembering the numbers.

For starters, something priced at £0.97 means it has been cut down below its regular price. It is on sale, but it also might not be the final sale for the item (though there’s no guarantee it won’t go back up either).

If, however, you spot something that ends with an eight (£0.88, for example), it means the store is trying to sell out on the product quickly (and there won’t be many left in reserve), so stock up on that item as you likely won’t see a better price.

Anything that ends with a nine and isn’t £0.99 (so £0.89, £0.79, etc), is a special manufacturer deal given specifically to Costco.

You’re likely not going to find that price anywhere else.
