14 Ways To Save Even More Money At Costco

This first hack won’t necessarily save you hundreds during every Costco trip, but it’s enough to make a little bit of a difference. The numbers that Costco prices end in aren’t random; they can give you hints as to which merch is on sale. If the price ends in a nine — like £5.99, £10.49, £75.89, etc. — it means that product is more than likely still at full price.

If you want to save some money on it, you’ll want to hold off on buying it and check back later for it to be on sale.  On the other hand, if you want to try and maintain a lower Costco bill by only shopping the marked-down stock, look for prices that end in a different odd number — usually a seven. This means that the product has seen a price reduction.

And if the price tag is accompanied by an asterisk in the upper right corner,  you’ll want to stock up on this item while you can, because that means it won’t be restocked once it sells out. 

You’ll find the best savings by seeking out even-numbered prices, usually ending in double eights or double zeroes, because these usually mean a manager has marked down the item in an attempt to quickly sell it.

This happens for a variety of reasons, including if the item has been returned, is in an open package, about to expire, and more.
