Costco membership provides access to a store known for its deals and bulk quantities.
Business Insider reached out to Costco employees to find out what they thought were the best deals in the store.
Employees highlighted a huge range of products, from bananas to hearing aids to the $1.50 food court hot dog.
Costco membership is supposed to bring about some major savings. The retail chain is famous for selling items in bulk, which can help you save money, if you know what you're doing. It also boasts a food court that hawks cheap and yummy eats, and tons of surprising and quirky offerings.
A Costco employee with 15 months of experience told Business Insider that seasonal items can make for pretty good deals when supplies of the product are running low. "They are marked with an asterisk on signage and can be marked down quite a bit," they said.
But there are plenty of other products that Costco workers think are worth your money. "You just have to pay attention," said one worker with two years of experience at Costco.
