Former Costco employee reveals insider tips for identifying genuine deals at the warehouse store.

Did you know that Costco has some secret codes that can help you save even more money on their already low warehouse prices? As a former employee, Rachael has some insider knowledge to share with us. She knows exactly which codes to look for on the price tags that will tell you whether or not you're getting a real bargain.

So, what's the trick? Well, it all starts with paying attention to the numbers on the price tag. If you see that the price ends in .97, like £17.97 for example, then you're in luck! According to Rachael, this means that the item has been discounted and is probably at its final and lowest price at Costco. So, you might as well add it to your cart and enjoy the savings.

But wait, there's more. If you're still not convinced and are debating whether or not to make a purchase, be on the lookout for an asterisk on the label. This little star symbol, usually found in the top right corner of the sticker, means that this is your last chance to buy that item in-store. As Rachael explained in a documentary, "Once it's gone, it's gone." So, if you see the asterisk, it's probably best to make the purchase before it's too late.

And don't worry, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, Costco has a pretty generous return policy. In fact, they offer a lifetime guarantee on most items. Rachael even shared a funny (or maybe not so funny) story about a customer who returned a used toilet seat because the soft-close feature stopped working...and she didn't even clean it!

But of course, there are some common sense exceptions to this policy. Costco promises 100% satisfaction with their products and they make it easy for you to return them. All you have to do is bring the product to any warehouse and their Member Services Team will assist you. Oh, and it's helpful to have your receipt or original packaging, but it's not always necessary.

So, what are you waiting for? Head to Costco and take advantage of these secret codes to snag some amazing bargains. And hey, if you have any interesting stories about your Costco shopping experience, feel free to share them with us. We'd love to hear from you!
