Bought it at Costco… then it went on sale the next day? Don’t stay mad — try to get your money back.

You know that feeling: you finally grab the thing, wrestle it into the cart, haul it home… and then you see it cheaper in the Savings Book or marked down in the warehouse a day later. It’s not just annoying — it feels personal.

Here’s the part a lot of people don’t realize (and it can save you real money):
you may not have to just take the L.

In the comments on a Costco tips video, a Costco employee said you can often get a price adjustment within 30 days if something you bought later goes on coupon (like the Savings Book). They also mentioned in-store markdowns can sometimes be adjusted too — but those can be more warehouse-specific.

That’s why you’ll see totally different experiences:

Someone else gets told, “Nope — you’d have to return it and buy it again.

”

So… why the whiplash?

It usually comes down to what kind of price drop it is.
