## What is PriceBuddy?

The PriceBuddy app automatically detects price drops for items you’ve recently purchased at Costco, and notifies you of rebate opportunities! Simply request the difference back at the Costco returns counter on your next trip.

With Costco’s 30-day price adjustment policy, you can request to get back the difference between the price you paid for an item and the lower price of that item (if it later drops) within 30 days of your original purchase. No returns; you don’t even have to bring in the item. But who has time to keep track of when they bought what for how much, and which prices have gone down since, and…that’s where we come in!

Help us help Costco members like you save money! Download the app and sign up today.

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2026-05-06*

I’m addicted to shopping at Costco. I absolutely love this app. It was able to look up all my purchases automatically and notified me of all my price adjustments. So easy to use. The only problem is now every time I go in for a $9 refund it will cost me $500 in things I don’t need.

### 3/5 — lots of errors

*2026-04-26*

the app tells you when any costco prices have been adjusted, but you can only get rebates for items that have a coupon for the discount.  So if the price of fruit goes down, this app will tell you that pyou can get a refund but that is not costco’s policy.  Costco doesn’t give rebates on price adjustments in produce, meat, or liquor departments.

**Developer response:** RESOLVED! Hi Jade, many of our users have successfully claimed price adjustments on produce, meat, and other categories — price adjustments at Costco apply to a wide range of items. That said, Costco's policy can vary by location and manager discretion, so experiences may differ. We track all the price changes we can and surface them to our users to maximize their savings opportunity — whether a particular claim is approved at a particular store is ultimately up to Costco. We'd love to hear more about your specific experience and refine the app accordingly if there’s opportunity to do so!


If there’s a documented Costco policy specifying certain items ineligible for price adjustments, please send this our way, we’ll take a look. Feel free to contact us at info@sitkinlabs.com. If any of this changes your experience or perspective, we'd love it if you'd consider updating your review — it really helps us out!

### 5/5 — Works!

*2025-05-18*

I was skeptical at first, but it really works!!

### 5/5 — Actually works!

*2025-05-14*

Just saved $10; the first time they have to scan your purchases in but after that it’s smooth sailing. And you don’t have to upload receipts. Plus it can find savings at multiple Costcos. Great app!
