Costcodle answer for October 29, 2026
Puzzle #1136. 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 Old Hickory Smokehouse Brisket Burnt Ends. The price stored for this puzzle is $19.99. A winning guess is any amount from $19.00 through $20.98, because the game accepts a guess within 5 percent. The yellow band, within 25 percent but not yet a win, runs from $15.00 to $24.98.
How I would have opened it
If I had started this day at $11.99, that guess would sit about 40.0 percent under $19.99. 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 $19.00 to $20.98.
