4 Costco Secrets You Really Wish You Knew Sooner - Watch Out For These Prices

If you're not saving on groceries and essentials this day in age, you're doing it all wrong.  Here's what you need to know about your favorite products at Costco.

#1: Prices that end with .99 are full price

#2: Prices that end with .97 are manager deals and won't be on sale for long.  Discounts can be too good to pass up!

#3: Prices that end with .49 or .79 are specials from the Manufacturer.  These products are typically in a trial run and priced cheaper than the retail price.
