Costco's Chief Financial Officer, Richard Galanti, has raised concerns about a noticeable shift in consumer spending habits. During the company's quarterly earnings call, he noted that while there has been an increase in sales of lower-cost items like canned meat, chicken, and hot dogs, there's a decline in demand for higher-priced discretionary items such as electronics, jewelry, and home furnishings.
