This episode reveals Costco's hidden pricing language and timing strategies that most shoppers completely miss. Penny explains the significance of price ending digits (99 cents for regular pricing, 97 cents for sales, 88 cents for clearance), the asterisk system indicating discontinued items, and seasonal reset patterns that create predictable savings opportunities. She covers produce timing, electronics cycles, gift card promotions, and how to build personal timing calendars based on consumption patterns while avoiding the psychological traps of artificial urgency and impulse purchasing.
