Howdy, Oregoon. My Costco is in Beaverton; I think it’s one of the og stores. I hit up the one in Hillsboro every now and then. It’s like going from the Enchanted Forest to Disneyworld.

Was it in this thread that someone said they got a decently priced air purifier from the church? I have to go pick up a prescription from there tonight so I might as well check it out while I'm in store. I need one apparently for my cats because something is bugging the hell out of them.

I have that one and a slightly larger one. They seem to work great. Nice and quiet. Vacuum the pre filter every couple of weeks if the room is really dusty, then swap or wash the charcoal filter every 3 months (or 6. or...when you remember to). Fart next to it to watch the color change and the fans angrily spin up (they also complain about cooking with alcohol. Uncivilized machines)

There has been rumors for years our town is getting a Costco, but they may be starting to become real. They've been doing a lot of land surveying and road work on a formerly empty factory lot and while a few small things have popped up around it, one of the people working for the city said after talking to them it's going (probably) to be a Costco.

Costco employees explain how reading price tags can help you save money

quote:

Costco price tags occasionally reveal deals hidden in plain sight.

Business Insider recently asked 38 Costco employees from around the US to share their best tips for getting the best deal, and several of these employees said that members should check price tags carefully when shopping.

Certain symbols and sales prices can signify which products are about to run out, which ones have been marked down, and which items the store is desperate to get rid of.

Once you know this subtle secret code, you can use it to shop smarter and find better deals at your local Costco.

Asterisks indicate that the product won�t be around for long

A Costco employee of 15 months told Business Insider that seasonal items "that are the last quantities in stock are marked with an asterisk on signage." They added that such products "can be marked down quite a bit."

But, according to The Kitchn, asterisks don't necessarily indicate that the item has been marked down. It's just not going to be restocked, so if it's a favorite, you should grab it before it's gone.

"Your favorite item may be seasonal, so buy it if you see it," one employee who's worked at Costco for 29 years told Business Insider.

Look carefully at sales prices ending in .97

An employee who's been with Costco for 12 years told Business Insider that items with a sales price ending in .97 are clearance items and have have been marked down from the regular price.

In an article for Tough Nickel, a site dedicated to frugal living, Lee Rapoport wrote, "Unlike all other retailers, Costco doesn't like you to know this, so they don't put the original prices with a slash and then the new price as many stores do."

The website Costco.97 notes that the clearance price could go even lower if the product has been sitting on the shelves for a while at this price. The way to tell is to look at the date code, usually in the bottom right corner of the price tag, and if the last time the price was updated was a few weeks ago, "there's a good chance another round of discounts are coming soon."

Sales prices ending in 9 � other than .99 � may or may not indicate a deal

Rapoport reported that most regularly priced items have a sales price ending in .99.

But sales prices ending in .89, .79, .69, .59, or .49 can indicate a special deal that Costco got from one of its manufacturers.

The website Costco.97 reported that these sales items "may or may not be a good deal" and that they are "likely products new to the store that are being tested by the manufacturer, so they offer pricing that may be lower than what you'd normally see elsewhere."

Sales prices ending in .88 or .00 are likely manager markdowns

Rapoport wrote that sales prices ending in .88 or .00 indicate "manager markdowns."

Costco.97 also reported that these prices can mean the item is a sellable return, floor model, or one of "the last few units remaining that the manager is trying to get rid of."

A Costco employee of two years told Business Insider that a sales price ending in .00 designates products that Costco is trying to get rid of, "so buy up," they advise.

Costco 97 offers one caveat: "While you could be getting an amazing deal on these items, inspect them very carefully before purchasing as they could be damaged in some way or even missing a part."

I took my friend to Costco this weekend and we bought a shitload of stuff. He got some pork chops and chicken that he's gonna grill up, I got a thing of ribs that he's gonna smoke and we're gonna have for dinner later tonight, and we of course ended it with a hot dog

I am very tempted to probe you for this.

Unless it is one of the rural areas with some level of exemption from the usual ban on self-service or at a commercial refueling station, you are a reprobate. Also, I'm not 100% sure but you could get the attendants in trouble doing this kind of thing.

Also an Oregoon so if he probes you for this I'll probe him in retaliation

It's a lot more expensive than that, but the margin is still great for a restaurant item.

A 5 gallon BIB of soda syrup was around 100 dollars last I checked. I might be up to 120 now. Lets just go with 100 to keep things easy. 100 dollars for 640 ounces of soda syrup. Generally soda syrup is mixed at a 5 to 1 ratio of carbonated water to syrup. McDonalds actually sets their ratio to 4.5 to 1 which is why so many people like soda from there. The syrup ratio is higher (It has nothing to do with metal tanks, or any other crap you've seen on social media)

So 640 ounces of syrup at a 5:1 ratio makes 3840 ounces of soda. $100/3840 ounces is about 2.6 cents an ounce if we ignore the cost of carbonating the water, filtering the water, chilling the water, the equipment to dispense it, etc. A 32 oz soda has for the sake of argument about 20 ounces of actual liquid after accounting for ice. So about 52 cents worth of soda. Throw in another 2 cents for the cup and a penny for the straw, and a 32 oz drink raw costs is 55 cents.

Back in the day like 25 years ago when I was in the restaurant industry, a BIB of Coca Cola syrup was probably 35 dollars, which would drop it down to less than a penny an ounce, but like everything else soda has gotten expensive as well.

Love this post and thank you for it! I learned something today

And that's probably where I got the penny per from tbh - it's been many years since I've seen any updated stats
