Foreign media and netizens pointed out that Costco is most crowded from 11 am to 2 pm. On Sunday. If you want to avoid the crowds, you can choose Monday or, better yet, Tuesday and Wednesday, as the shelves are fully stocked.
Costco is the first choice for many people for shopping for daily necessities, but when it comes to the store itself it often faces long queues and crowded people. Recently, foreign media analyzed the number of customers in Costco at different times and concluded that if you want to avoid crowded people and a chaotic shopping environment, it is best not to go to Costco between 11 am and 2 pm on Sunday. “Best Buy” times are also given.
Food website Simply Recipes reported that “the busiest times and slowest checkout times at Costco stores vary from location to location, but Sundays between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. are likely to be the ‘worst time’ to shop at Costco,” Fox News reported. One Reddit user agreed, “I went shopping one Sunday afternoon to see what the situation was like, and it was a complete mess. I’ll never go there again.”
Another netizen said, “I once had trouble while shopping at Costco on Sunday. The checkout line was very long and extended to the deepest part of the store.”
However, for people who work 9 to 5 jobs from Monday to Friday, it may not be easy for them to shop on weekdays, making it inevitable that Costco will be crowded on the weekends as many people are busy shopping for the week ahead. This reduces the crowds at Costco on Mondays, and the experience can be a little more comfortable.
However, according to lifestyle magazine “Southern Living”, if customers want to have ample product on the shelves, it would be wise to visit Costco on Tuesday or Wednesday, as by that time, the store’s products are usually replenished. A Reddit netizen shared his experience and said, “I’ve been all over the country, and based on my experience, going early on Tuesday is the best option,” adding, “Generally, I try to avoid Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are usually safer, especially in the early hours of these days.”
Also, some people think that “the first hour after opening” or “the last hour before closing” is the best time to buy.
When is the best time to go to Costco? Foreign media revealed that the supply of “this day” is the best. Do not go there on Sunday afternoon.
