Sunday afternoons at Costco are the worst time to shop, shoppers insist
Fox News • • business
Key Points:
- Sunday afternoons, especially from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., are reported to be the busiest and most chaotic times to shop at Costco, with long lines and crowded aisles.
- Midweek shopping during weekdays like Tuesday and Wednesday, particularly earlier in the day, is recommended for a more peaceful experience and better stocked shelves.
- Shopping early in the morning or late in the evening on weekdays can also help avoid crowds, with some customers suggesting after 6:30 p.m. on weeknights as an ideal time.
- Weekends and the day before holidays tend to attract high shopper volumes, making those times less desirable for a calm shopping trip.
- Costco experienced significant growth, reporting $297.3 billion in revenue for the 2025 fiscal year, up 10.2% from the previous year, and remains open seven days a week with operating hours available online.
