Bottom line

The price may make a Costco item viral, but the truth lies in how often shoppers feel compelled to tell others about it. This February's most-talked-about Costco buys stand out because they offer unexpected value you don't usually see in big-box stores.

To save money the next time you go shopping at Costco, check your local store early in the week. Many viral Costco items are region-specific or limited-run, so if they're available in your warehouse, don't hesitate to head over.
