8. Toothpaste
This one is surprising for sure! Who knew toothpaste could be THAT pricey? In general, Costco sells 4-packs of toothpaste, giving the impression that you’re getting a good deal, but when you compare the prices to those at the grocery store, you’re not.
For instance, SENSODYNE Extra Whitening Sensitive Toothpaste costs $13.99 at Ralphs, whereas a 4-pack of SENSODYNE Advanced Whitening Toothpaste costs $31.99 at Costco. It would be less expensive than going to Costco to get two of these for just $27.98. Even if Ralphs doesn’t provide the same toothpaste, it appears to have the same advantages, therefore purchasing the 4-pack at Costco might not be necessary.

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 !!
