Costco Christmas decorations mark-downs

[nat1jen]

Our Costco has marked down many of the Christmas decorations. I noticed that some of the items are now on their 2nd markdown. I got a lighted decoration for $19.97 that was originally about $50. I also bought several sets of nesting boxes for $7.97. You get 12 boxes in each set. The boxes are very sturdy and colorful. They look great as decorations, or they would also be great to use instead of a gift bag.

Does it show the marked down price on it or is it when it rings up? Also, do all Costco's markdown at the same time? Were those nesting boxes 19.99 before?

Thanks

Jackie, there is a sign with the new price above all the items. If something is on sale, the price ends with .97. I don't know if all Costo's markdown at the same time. I do know that for the last 2 years at our Costco, they have marked down all the Christmas decorations so that they are gone before Christmas. I also don't know the regular price of the nesting boxes. I bought some this weekend on sale for $9.97, and then they were marked down another $2 the other day. Sorry that I can't help you any more.

Thanks for the heads up about this-- I would have never known. We got the lighted drums for $14.97, an excellent buy. My husband really wanted these. They had the water windows $11.97.

One of my friends told me too that since places like Costco are closed for 2 days at Christmas (?) to go the day before Christmas because they mark their perishables (steaks, etc.) way down since they will go bad over the holidays. Not sure if this is accurate but it's worth looking into.

I went back again today and bought more nesting boxes. I just love those boxes. I also bought another North Pole candy cane light up decoration--it's now $14.97. I paid $19.97 the other day. I also bought Santa with his toyshop table. It is really cute. I didn't need it, but I am a sucker for those holiday decorations. Most of the decorations in our store are now gone. I wish that they would go ahead and mark down the wrapping paper, bows, ribbon. I can't remember if those items get reduced.
