When to shop at Costco for the best finds

Even if you're unsure when your favorite products will be back in stock, you can plan your visit for the least busy shopping days. This way, if you happen to find a restock, you'll be among the first to discover it. Data from Drive Research indicates that midweek days, specifically from Tuesday to Thursday, are the optimal times to shop at Costco to avoid crowds. For the best times of day, consider visiting right when the store opens, just before it closes, or between 3 and 4 p.m., as these periods typically experience lower foot traffic, allowing you to steer clear of the post-work and mid-morning rushes.
However, if sampling Costco's free offerings is a must for your shopping experience, you might want to disregard this advice. Unfortunately, the secret to enjoying Costco's free samples comes with larger crowds, as the most samples are available on Saturdays.
