1. Milk
Believe it or not, but from all the big stores, Costco has the highest price when it comes to milk compared to Aldi. Go BankingRates found out from recent research that at Aldi you will pay $8.58 per 2 gallons, compared to Costco, where the same amount costs $8.70. It’s not a huge price difference, but it definitely adds up to the rest of the expenses if you consume milk on a daily basis.
Another well-known retailer, Ralphs, offers milk at a lower price than Costco, with 2 gallons going for $7.98. The fact that you are not required to purchase two gallons of milk if you don’t need them, in contrast to Costco, is yet another benefit that grocery stores have over the latter.

I’m a Costco member for the last 35 years and your information about prices are totally wrong for example toothpaste that you mention sensodine cost $24 dollars a pack of 4…..the milk it’s about 6 dollars and chicken breast it $24 dollars per 10 lbs so it’s $2.40 per pound….. You need to talked to whomevergive you the wrong prices…..
It was nice to know this info. My Granddaughter shops for the both of us. We divide certain foods in half. I live alone so I don’t need much. What she divides for me lasted more than a month!! I like shopping in the home goods area, it has items that you won’t find in other stores.
With regard to you stated milk prices at Costco, I check prices sometimes and find that milk is almost always cheaper at Costco than Publix and Walmart in southern Florida. Also, I have always been able to purchase single gallons for years.
Don’t buy soda at Costco either. It’s no bargain, and in general you can get it cheaper at many grocery stores.
