Big Mistakes Everyone Makes When Shopping at Costco
These missteps are much easier to overlook than you might think. Some are as simple and thoughtless as going at an inconvenient busy time or not familiarizing yourself with the rules and regulations of the big company. As insignificant as these habits may seem it’s the little details that can keep you from finding the best products and services at the best price. Consumers need to be aware of all the ways they’re holding themselves back from getting the most out of their membership especially if they’re looking to save money and make their shopping as painless as possible.
Costco is not for the faint of heart. All of our members have at least once experienced the crush of people streaming in and out of the store sometimes finding themselves elbow to elbow with other shoppers and navigating a maze of shopping carts. Going to the store especially on the weekends can feel like a battlefield of food samples and produce. During peak hours it can not only be unnecessarily stressful but you may also not get the products you need.
Avoid the inevitable tailgating game on Saturdays and Sundays and instead visit the store on Tuesday afternoons Wednesdays or Thursdays. These are the best times to avoid the crowds as most people are usually at work or school during those hours. Going on a weekday also reduces your chances of finding a parking spot or being left with only a small selection of nearly-expired items.
