Traditionally, shoppers head to Costco on weekends because their jobs keep them occupied Monday through Friday, but huge crowds of people on Saturdays and Sundays can make your shopping trip nightmarish. If you're looking to make your trip quick and easy, read on to find out the best days and times to shop at Costco.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays are the best days to roam the aisles of Costco, but even these days require some caution. To get the best experience, you should visit during the late morning or early afternoon, before 5 PM. You’ll be less likely to fight for a parking spot, the shelves are more fully stocked, and the checkout lines are far shorter.

It is possible to stay cool, calm, and collected while shopping at Costco. Just go during the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, and leave plenty of room in your cart for all of the amazing deals you'll find!
