    Costco has a pricing policy of limiting markups on branded products to a maximum of 14% above cost and up to 15% on Costco brands. That is why they are often but not always the lowest price, especially for name brands that they carry. Food items however like fuits and vegetables are often used as loss leaders (sold below cost) by competing stores and chains. Many chains ( but not Costco) have much higher markups on many other items and make their profit on those while using loss making veggie prices to get you into the store. Costco makes most of its profits from the annual memberships.
    Costco has donation agreements with charity food banks and so very very little fresh food goes to waste.

      Also when you see name brand items on special ( marked down price) the manufacturer is supporting the lower price.When you see Costco items marked down more than 15% off, Costco is taking a loss. This usually happens when there is an upcoming change to the product, like a changed packaging, or a new supplier.
      How do I know all this ( am I making it up?) Relative was a member of management at a Costco location. 🙂

      So they give it away to charity at a loss instead of selling it cheaper to customers

    • @GregB-f1x
      @GregB-f1x Місяць тому +2

      They get a tax break , as do all businesses and people, for donating to charity. Thus in addition to feeding needy, they are not losing money.

    Always love seeing the prices on the fruit and veg and especially the meat.
    Question: Do they have much in the way of organic stuff? Things like meat, vege and general basic staples? Stuff like rice, flour, sugar and bread or baking stuff? Thanks for posting 👍

      The whole things seems silly to me really even the cheaper meats are only worth it if you buy in bulk it's never grabbed me really but I watch her videos for a bit of support and I keep an eye out if there's anything that stands out to me but so far nothing really even with the discounts they ask for a yearly membership.... To make it worth while you gotta shop there more regularly

    Thank you for your website as a person with a physical disability, who only joined a Costco in QLD a few months ago, I know look forward to watching your site each week.
    My adult daughter and I have only been in together once and I wondered what the wording “ Instant rebate meant? “ I said “ No “ “ I bet it means we have to send a docket into the manufacturer , just like white goods discounts.”
    I am guessing now after watching your video and you commenting on the lasagna it equals the same as sale price?
    Am I correct?
    Thank you
