A Costco shopper recently scored an amazing deal when an employee accidentally labeled expensive lobster tails as much cheaper shrimp. The shopper, known online as Karen, found four large packages of premium lobster tails in her cart, but the labels said “Farmed White EZ Peel Shrimp” instead. The prices were unbelievably low, ranging from $16.92 to $21.32 per package.
Regular lobster tails usually cost between $40 and $55 per pound, while the shrimp they were mislabeled as only cost $10.99. This was a huge discount. According to Bro Bible, Karen was thrilled and wrote in her post that the employee who made the mistake should “live a prosperous life.” She added, “IN THIS ECONOMYYYY” and made it clear she wouldn’t tell management about the error.
