We can all agree that there are some deals at Costco that no one expected to find and buy upon arrival. Members do not shop at Costco merely to buy ordinary items, but they come for what co-founder James Sinegal calls the “Treasure Hunt”. The “Treasure Hunt” refers to the rare item or “rock bottom price” that the member cannot simply overlook. Like treasure, these items usually will disappear and be gone on the next visit. This type of turnover gives the members an urgency to buy before the offers are gone for good.

Members may go in for their routine staple purchases, but often come out with a bottle of Dom Perignon or Callaway golf clubs because they couldn’t pass up on such exceptional deals. These types of offers is what makes Costco an anticipated trip for members and keeps members coming back.
