The part shoppers never hear

Every store has a code. Nobody teaches it to you.

The tags

The cents at the end of a price, the color of a tag, a little asterisk. They all mean something.

The timing

Markdowns, new arrivals and full shelves follow a weekly rhythm. Employees know it by heart.

The skip list

Every store has items that cost more there than anywhere else. Most shoppers never notice.

If your receipt always comes out bigger than you planned, it wasn’t you. The stores are very good at their job.

Why I wrote these books

I watched good people overpay every single day.

I spent 32 years working at Walmart, Costco, Aldi and Dollar Tree: on the floor, at the registers and in the back. The people who saved the most were always the employees.

So I wrote it all down, one book per store, in plain English: how to read the tags, when to go, what to buy and what never to buy there.

And not only food. Each book covers home, cleaning, health and a full winter chapter on staying warm for less.

Grab it next trip

An asterisk on a Costco price sign usually means it will not be ordered again. Buy it now.

Costco

A Rollback is the lowest price

A Rollback is temporary. Yellow clearance tags are where the deep, final markdowns are.

Walmart

Come back next week for it

New Aldi Finds land every Wednesday and when they are gone, they are gone.

Aldi

Everything at Dollar Tree is a deal

Check the ounces. Some items cost more there than at the grocery store.

Dollar Tree

Four blankets on top keep you warm

The cold comes from under you. A cheap foam camping pad under the sheet stops it.

Winter

Once you pay, the price is final

If a Costco price drops within 30 days, ask the membership desk for the difference.
