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.

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.
I get COSTCO delivered WHOLE milk for $3.22, cheapest in DC/VA
Oh my everything I buy regularly 😯
Stop shopping there
Some prices may be a little higher for chicken/meat but I find you always get better quality than like Aldi’s. Same for the fruits& veggies. You do have to shop around between various stores…
thats the price for boneless no skin
i buy it when its on sale
Nearest COSCO is 225 miles away, so I don’t shop there. I used to shop at SAFEWAY but it is 12 miles away, aisles are narrow, stuff is crammed in the spaces, they ceased having a Senior Discount day. I now shop at a mom and pop store, Cole’s Grocery, only 6 miles from my home. They have 95% of what I want, offer a senior discount of 10 percent every Wednesday, handicapped parking is right in front, easy to pop in, pick up a few items, and leave.
These factors offset any price advantage Safeway offers
Wow on the prices didn’t know !!
