Costco is known for its great bargains.
And some things really are a deal, but they also have a few tricks up their sleeves, to get you to spend more money.
One trick Costco uses is to constantly rearrange the store.
They tend to move products around, in order to keep shoppers guessing.
One thing might be in one location one day, and then, the next time you shop, it's not there.
That can be kind of frustrating for shoppers, but it also is a pretty good strategy from their perspective, 'cause you're seeing all these new items, and maybe getting a little tempted to buy more than you need.
Items are placed on the end of an aisle to grab the attention of shoppers.
Sometimes these items are on sale, and it's a good deal for shoppers.
But other times, another company has paid Costco to put their product in a prime location.
So it can be a nice sale for you, or it can be a bit of a trap, because another company has stepped in and wants you to see their product.
