12 Brilliant Costco Shopping Hacks




I distinctly remember the first time I went to Costco. Between the free samples and the full-sized candy bars that you could buy in bulk, my mind was blown and I became a Costco addict right then and there. Over the years, I’ve bought everything at Costco, from groceries to winter tires to sunglasses. It is a haven for penny pinchers like myself, but there is more going on in this warehouse than what meets the eye. People can get very passionate about scoring deals at Costco, which can turn this bulk store into a battlefield. Luckily, these helpful tips will not only help you score better deals at Costco, but they’ll also get you out of the store in one piece with a relatively full wallet. Take a look at these hacks that will help you survive your Costco shopping experience. 











1. Know the store layout


Costco stores are big and it’s pretty easy to get lost in one. There’s nothing worse than wandering around aimlessly, searching for something on your list. Most of the stores follow a similar layout, which should save you time on your shopping trip.Costco Store Layout Tips:  — Food aisles and household goods are kept on opposite sides of the store, which should eliminate confusion right away. If you’re looking for Nutella but only see lightbulbs, get to the other side of the store ASAP.— The middle sections are where you will find snacks, candy, clothes, books and gift cards.— The bakery and deli are typically located at the back of the store. Happy navigating! 




2. And know where the deals are


Items at the front of the store and on the ends of the aisles have been placed there to get more eyeballs, but they aren’t necessarily on sale. You’re more likely to score a deal if you go down the aisles. Check out #11 for another helpful hint to score sale items! 











3. You can get in without a membership


If you aren’t ready for the full Costco commitment, ask a friend to pick up a Costco gift card or cash card for you, instead. You don’t need a membership to use one and can get access to the store without the contract and membership fees. 




4. Don’t miss the roadshows! 


Have you ever been to Costco and seen a specialty display, only to be disappointed when it is gone the next week? Costco partners with a number of companies for a traveling product pop-up store, called a roadshow. Companies like Lindt and Krispy Kreme will travel to different Costcos across the country for a limited time. If you see a roadshow in your area, stock up before they are gone!

The worst thing about getting drunk is pretty much any decision you make while drunk.  But once in a while you get lucky and by some fluke, a messy night takes a turn for the better.   Maybe you discover a cool talent or go on an amazing drunk adventure. More likely, you discover a edible-looking hot dog lying on the sidewalk calling to you.  But whatever your drunk win is, it creates an experience so magical that alcohol-soaked you feels like the only person in the world… even though  you probably don’t remember a thing about it the next morning.  1. Your inability to stand up straight resulted in the best dance moves ever The alcohol gods are on your side when your unconscious self manages to do the worm. 2.

Can Your Ex Tell The Difference Between Adele Lyrics And Drunk Texts? This Girl Found Out!

Adele’s new song “Hello” is perfect listening for anyone who wants to unnecessarily relive the emotional trauma of having your heart shattered into a billion pieces. The song is about the failures of reconnecting with a loved one after painful years apart. If you can get through the song without having a crippling, tear-soaked breakdown, then you likely have no heart. You also might find that the lyrics are uncannily similar to a drunken text you might send your ex. Mary Caldera noticed this similarity and decided to test it out on her ex-boyfriend, Matt. Poor Matt clearly didn’t get the reference. Naturally, Matt assumed Mary was just drunk texting him, and his deadpan and confused response is brilliant. If you think Mary was cruel for texting Matt and getting his hopes up, well, she didn’t stop there. She also posted the entire exchange on Twitter, much to our delight!
