Decoding Retail Price Tags: How to Find the Best Deals

Understanding Costco Price Tag Codes

• 🎯 The last two digits on a Costco price tag reveal deal information: 99 cents indicates full price with no deal.
• 💡 A price ending in 97 cents signifies a manager markdown, representing a limited-time deal.
• ⚠️ An asterisk on a Costco tag means the item is not likely to be restocked.
• 🏷️ Prices ending in 49 and 89 cents are special manager discounts on seasonal items that won't be restocked.
• 💸 Tags indicating an additional discount often refer to manufacturer instant rebates, applied at the register.

Deciphering TJ Maxx Price Tags

• 🔑 The last digit of a TJ Maxx price tag provides clues: a number two indicates an authentic brand item, likely at a significant discount.
• 🛍️ A number one at the end means the product was made specifically for TJ Maxx and might not be as good of a deal.
• 🧩 A six signifies a clothing set; if an item is missing, a discount can be requested.
• ❌ A price ending in seven means the item is discontinued and won't be available elsewhere, often indicating a great deal.

Nordstrom Rack Tag Secrets

• 🔖 Look for the Nordstrom tag to identify original store items, as opposed to items made specifically for Nordstrom Rack.
• 🏷️ A tag that says Nordstrom Rack indicates the item was manufactured for the Rack itself.
