Costco is known for providing the best bulk deals, especially with its Kirkland items<\/a>. However, if there\u2019s one thing you love to snag at Costco, you need to know about a symbol on the club\u2019s price tags: an asterisk.\r\n\r\nThe symbol may be small, but unfortunately, it's a sign of retail doom. According to the Krazy Coupon Lady<\/a>, the asterisk at Costco is a sign that the particular item won\u2019t be restocked. Which means you<\/em> need to stock up because it\u2019s not going to come back for who knows how long!\r\n

Don't Panic... Yet!<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAlthough this item is soon to leave shelves, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s gone for good. Costco often keeps items on a rotating schedule, bringing back items that make sense for different seasons. The reasoning has to do with Costco\u2019s low prices. By keeping their stock on rotation, they are able to keep prices lower for customers throughout the year. They only buy a limited amount of those rotating items and will warn customers that restocking won\u2019t occur via a small asterisk on the price tag.\r\n\r\nSo if you see that sign, there\u2019s always a sliver of hope that the item will be back on the shelf next year. However, it could also mean the last of this item ever seeing the light of day at Costco. If that\u2019s the case, time to stock up!\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you ever see an asterisk on our\u00a0best-value things to buy at Costco<\/a>, go ahead and shop in bulk. They're some of the best bargains we've found to date.\r\n
