Costcodle answer for May 16, 2025
Puzzle #605. I read this row from the official games list. The date is the UTC calendar day sampled at noon; your live game may show another number in your time zone.
The shelf price
The item is Kirkland Signature Wild Sockeye Salmon, Individually Wrapped, 3 lbs. The price stored for this puzzle is $36.99. A winning guess is any amount from $35.15 through $38.83, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $27.75 to $46.23.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $22.19, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $36.99. Anything beyond 25 percent away is a red tile. I would then jump toward the middle of the remaining range instead of nudging by a dime. Once a guess lands inside the yellow band I only test the center of $35.15 to $38.83.
