3. Look out for asterisks

You are shopping at Costco, look at the price tag and spot a little asterisk in the upper right corner of the sign. What does it mean? Well, if you see this marking, it is a signal that the item will not be restocked. So, in simpler words, it means that the item is limited. You can only buy it now. Go and search for it later, and there is a high chance you will not find it anymore.

You might have heard about this tip before, but it is a good one to consider, especially when it comes to staple items that you need and want to stock up on immediately.

Now, keep in mind that the asterisk doesn’t tell you if the item is discounted or not. It just tells you that the product is limited, and if you are thinking about buying it next week, you better think twice and buy it now if you really want it. This is a now-or-never situation. If the item is already sold out, all you can do is go immediately and check out another Costco. They might still have it. You will never know without checking.
