Here's when you can avoid Costco crowds

If you love Costco as much as we do, you probably think there is no bad time to hit up the superstore. But if you're looking to avoid the rush of people and long lines, there are better times to go than others. As many know, Reddit has a wealth of information about Costco under the subreddit r/Costco, where droves of shoppers log in to ask all sorts of questions — from the best deals to their favorite purchases. One recently asked the question: "What is factually the best time to go to Costco? Weekdays, weekends, sunny, rainy, snowy days?" and the answers do not disappoint.

Another happy shopper recently found another good time to go: "Apparently during [the] Super Bowl." Makes sense.
