Are there any other markdown time strategies?

Those little numbers at the end of Costco prices, they're basically a secret clearance language:

PRICE TAG DECODER:

- .97 = Nationwide clearance (think seasonal jackets or snacks)

- .00/.88 = Store-specific manager special (final sale!)

- ✳️ = Last chance item (grab it or it's gone forever)

Other Mind-Blowing Hacks:

- You can shop Costco.com without a membership.

- Kirkland brand = Name brands in disguise (Starbucks coffee, Huggies diapers, Duracell batteries, same factories!)

- The $4.99 rotisserie chicken is Costco's loss leader (shred & freeze for meal prep!)

- Gift cards often have 25% off (Disney, restaurants, spas. Perfect last-minute gifts)

Most importantly, new markdowns drop Mondays, but weekends sometimes have surprise clearance finds. What's your best Costco find? Did you know about these price codes?
