Question about Costco coupons

judy0330 — Sun, 10 Jun 2018 18:16:27 GMT

I recently rejoined Costco after switching to BJs for several years. I am not sure how their coupon book works now. Is there anything I have to do to use them at the store or are they now automatically added to the memberhsip card? Thanks for your help!

They are automatic unless they state otherwise. You don't have to take the book with anymore.

The coupon book just basically shows what is on sale for a specific time frame.

@tipsy @DiAnne Thank you both so much! One more question. If something is on sale and you buy 2 of the item -- will you get the discount on both?

The book usually says if there is a limit...or no limit! And the sale price is the price for that time frame... like the current book is good through June 17th, so no matter how many you buy that is the price.

@judy0330 At the store, above an item that is on sale in the coupon book is a white sign saying it is on sale, the discount you get, and what the final price will be. It will also list whether there is a limit on how many you can purchase. Also, it says that in the coupon book itself (which is not really a coupon book any more but just an advertisement of what's on sale book, as someone mentioned). It's helpful to take the book with you to see if there is a limit and also to remind you of what's on sale. But as I say, there is a big white sign above the product and the discount is usually highlighted in yellow on the sign.

Thank you, @Pearlee. You have all been so helpful! I had googled my question and a lot of information was old so I wasn't sure. I knew exactly where to come!!

Thanks, @brandiwine! Actually I first joined in the mid-80's when it was the Price Club. I belonged until a few years ago when a beautiful new BJs was built. I missed some Costco products and decided to rejoin. Now I belong to both.

you get the sale price on each additonal item if you buy more than one unless the sign says there is a limit; I have seen this a few times, but not very often.

In case you didn't know, when you see a little asterisk or flower on an item's sign, it means they are closing out the item and they won't be restocking that product. Good to know if there is something you particularly like and buy on a regular basis; it is your cue to stock up since it won't be coming back!

Also, never go on the last day for the current coupon book.

I made that mistake once. Never again.

I don't know if I ever noticed an asterisk but now if I do, I'll know what it means. Thanks @lovesrecess

I always cut out the coupons I'm going to buy - and I put them in the order they're sold in the store (yes - I'm a Costco Shopper). This way I know which products to look for. Using these coupons more than pays for the membership fee - plus the check u get back once a year from using ur Citibank/Costco card.

I always buy the rotisserie chicken and many different types of bread.

I'll be going there on Tuesday - around 1PM. Tuesday is the quietest day of the week at Costco. Parking is also easier to find.

My favorite store.
