Bryan Grant+FollowCostco’s VIP Hour: Worth the Upgrade?Heads up, Costco fans! If you hate shopping in a packed warehouse, there’s good news: Executive members get to shop an hour earlier than everyone else starting June 30. That means you can snag your rotisserie chicken and bulk snacks before the crowds roll in. Plus, they’re tossing in extra Instacart credits and perks. Looks like Costco’s making the VIP upgrade more tempting—especially if you value your sanity (and parking spot) on weekends! #CostcoHacks #ShoppingTips #MoneyLifehacks #Shopping10Share
