Yes Costco is worth it if you share. Think community purchasing.
Our government in New Zealand decided that we needed competition in the supermarket business, so they got Costco into our biggest city Auckland. Never mind the fact that regulation had set up the duopoly in the first place. Costco opened and all it affected was the closest Pak`n`Save. It is an Island and another 800km`s away from us so won`t do much.
I went to our local Mom & Pop grocery store for sale items. Block cheese 8oz $1.88 (got 6 plus one shredded); creamer 32oz $3.99; Campbell's soups, $1.25 (I got the typical cream soups for holiday cooking); store brand pumpkin $1.29, got 4; and Chex cereal 2/$6, got 4. Honeycrisp apples $1.39. Wimmers natural casing wieners coarse ground $5.49 and had a 55¢ off coupon so for 2. According to the receipt I saved $50.66 in discounts, spent $58.43. For 25 items. I guess $2.00+ isn't terrible and I'm stocked up for the holidays. In Nebraska
FOOD CITY Greeneville TN— 10lbs Sugar—–$7.99!!! ON SALE $7.19
Does anyone think that Grocery Prices will go down? Or just prices in general for everything.
Thanks for taking us with you. We use to have a Sams membership. Too far to travel for too little savings in our case. That was 5 years ago and we didn't renew. Buying local now more than ever.
I've had a membership for 25 years to Costco. I worked for them for 15 of those years. I lived in Florida up until 2019 when I moved to East Tennessee. I dont plan on renewing membership this year. I shopped a couple times last year and it's not with it for me when I can order bulk meat from a place close to home and between kroger, Food City, grocery outlet I shop the sales for my monthly menus!! I do have a Sams membership and find for the bulk items I do get a better price!!
Turkey’s $2.39# I bought chickens and will make a pork roast or meatloaf…
My local warehouse club seems to be pretty well stocked these days but a majority of the items I usually buy have increased in price 20- 40%.
The same amount of Himilayan salt in Australia would be 20-30 dollars
The same nice jacket for 40 something would be 150.00+ here
Our rice is 20.00 mostly for 5Kg
Spam is 5-7 a can the same size.
Beans are 2.00+ per TIN
Oils are 20-30 per 2Ltrs a bottle that looks shy of a gallon in USA.
We’re in the same boat. The drive isn’t worth the few items that may be slightly cheaper than at Walmart. Membership isn’t worth it anymore
People might take more notice if they threw away their televisions!
You are lucky, gas was 5.00 the other day here.,at Costco.
Same here in Costco in Pooler Ga, we are not going to renew our membership , just not worth it , we can get better deals on staple items from other grocery stores when we shop local sales .
I have a Costco card only because my mom has a membership and got me one. I used to go fairly often but now, not too much. I get manuka honey, t.p. and paper towels there
My mom just went to Costco in Houston and picked me up 3 -32oz bottles of coconut amnios for $9.99. I'm paying $15.00 for 16oz here in North East TX
The nearest Costco is over a hundred mile drive. Closed my account.
our costco is always packed, and gas lines are long here in los angeles. the store moves things around all the time…a bit annoying for my old brain.
Our COSTCOs in PA and NJ are always packed.
Interesting you should bring up Costco memberships. I was just thinking about that on my last visit. This past month, every time I go in, prices have gone up as well as depleted stock.
You lost me at SPAM
Hendersonville, NC,: roast beef slices $8.70-$10.87 , $12.50 over 4 trips, cat food cans no longer stocked, $50 pound bags of rice gone, now only 25 lbs bags. Canned Grapefruit is gone also. I'll see more on my next trip for sure.
FYI, Any signs with the star ( Asterisk) upper right hand corner is being discontinue at that store.
Patera…you know we love you…for many reasons. But, would you mind too much if some of us love your sweet hubby just a little bit, too??
Sometimes I prefer to go to the URM or restaurant supply store. Prices cheaper on bulk sugar, flour, yeast, rice and beans also canned goods in the number 10 cans. I sometimes buy the diced tomatoes and corn and make large batches on homemade canned salsa
My Costco run today was 725.00 freaking insane.
I just checked and Walmart had butter for less than Costco. I used to buy butter at Costco all the time. I'm changing to Walmart!
I agree 100% and noticed months ago already here in Minneapolis MN. Back in February when I started to build my extra pantry, I found that most of the bulk food items I was purchasing were cheaper elsewhere. I have gotten only a few of my pantry items from Costco. That being said, I have been able to get some other needed items at huge savings. A new split king mattress with adjustable base for 1/4 the price of Sleep Number. Really nice great quality sheet sets for $12. Needed trees for my yard for $30. Fila sneakers for work $22. So, food seem high…everything else is still a bargain.
Love these two
