4. Avocados

Always a risky purchase, avocados are more so if you live in a region where they aren’t organically grown. They are always too expensive and either too firm or too soft. If you want to get a bargain for this item, don’t choose Costco! Instead, stop by Trader Joe’s, where they are cheaper when purchased in bulk.

5. Veggies and fruits

If you know that you won’t eat a whole pack of veggies or fresh fruits in a couple of days (otherwise they will go bad), don’t stop at Costco. Besides the fact that the prices are skyrocketing, they also come in bulk. Your local grocery store is going to be more effective and affordable compared to Costco. Plus, if you don’t have a big family or you don’t plan on making a cake with fruits, don’t hurry to buy them in bulk just because they might seem cheaper. 3 pounds of fruit sounds like a lot to me!

    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.

    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…

    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
