Costco can be an awesome source of deals but it can also be an easy way to waste money.

You don’t consider how much you will use

We only have two in our household right now, except when my son comes home from college. There have been times we have bought bakery or meat items and they have gone to waste. Not everything can be frozen and used later.

Costco will price match!

Even as a seasoned Costco shopper, this is a tip I forget about all the time. Costco will price match items purchased within 30 days, and refund the difference.

If something goes on sale after you bought it, you have 30 days to show proof of purchase for a price adjustment. You may not have time to keep an eye out for everything that goes on sale, but this trick is especially helpful for higher priced items.

The Kirkland brand is awesome

I have found the Kirkland brand is just as good or better than the name brands! Check out the selection here.

You only shop on weekends
