BuyVia Blog: Expert Tips for Saving Money in Online Shopping with Coupons and Discounts

Today's post will introduce you to hidden gems in the world of discounts, promotions, and sales, ensuring you never miss out on an opportunity to save. We will be focusing on tricks for shopping at Costco, Target, and Walmart that are hidden from the average customer.

Did you know that Costco's prices have a pricing code that gives information about the product? For example, most product's prices will end in '.99'. The last two digits being ninety-nine means that this is a standard Costco product. There are three main types of pricing codes that you should be looking for when shopping at Costco:

• 1. When the price isn't '.99' but ends in 9 such as 6.79, 7.69, or 12.59. This means the product was either recently added or is a special-priced item that Costco got at a discount from the manufacturer. To know the difference between the two, look closely on the price tag towards the bottom right.
• 2. Look for items ending in '.97'. means that the product is currently marked down for a lower price.
• 3. The best deals at Costco's pricing will end in 0 cents or 88 cents. These are rare to find but indicate a 'manager markdown' meaning the store is trying to move that product quickly.
