4. Canned food

Canned tuna is pretty high in protein, and it’s nice to have it as a dinner with some salad and corn. While I was browsing at Costco, I saw that a lot of the stuff that is canned and is sold in bulk is way more expensive compared to other local stores.

Check out the prices at other stores too before rushing to buy everything that’s on sale!

  1. I feel like these aren’t necessarily items you “shouldn’t” buy, rather than the author’s preferences. Yes, snacks and soda are bad for you, but its your choice if you consume them. Yes, Costco is a warehouse store so things come in bulk packaging. As someone who lives in a household of 2, I often say “thats a good deal, but we don’t need that much, we will never use it.” As for furniture, books, and whatnot, if you see a book and you want to read it… buy the dang book. If you need a new piece of furniture and they have one there for a good price, get it. Costco does have a great return policy.

  2. not sure who the editor is of this article but why not save the time of readers and just say you don’t like Costco ! every item you cried about is the same at any other store except you covered most of what is
    Costco. if you don’t like buying in bulk don’t but to say its the worst this to buy . . .stop crying about one place and buy where you want . This is a poor unhelpful article.

  3. I agree with most of this, but I don’t think she has ever tasted the tuna. It is so much better than the best brands I’ve ever bought elsewhere. It’s worth every penny and keeps perfectly until used up, probably many times longer.

  4. hmmm… been shopping and costco and find these are definitely not hard and fast rules; soda and junk food I see to be healthy but that is in general; books can be a good deal for those items they do have though limited; canned goods can use especially some of the kirkland brand; coffee, they do sell whole bean and the coffee is repackaged labeled and made by starbucks, bakery items; depends; I freeze the muffins which I love and eat them by thawing and planning ahead and find them delicious; have found great pieces of furniture which are much better than the limited selection available in my locale; so for me don’t really follow any of these rules; but this again is just one person’s opinion on the post as is the same for me

  5. This entire writeup sounds to me as if the person that put this article together has a real axe to grind with Costco. I personally have been shopping at Costco for over 30 years and I cannot believe the money my family and I have saved by our major grocery shopping as well as additional,( even clothing), items at Costco. The reason I know this is because I routinely compare prices at other major retail chains with Costco pricing and find that Costco prices are much, much cheaper.

  6. The books at Costco are generally bargains. It’s true that the selection is a paltry. That’s because the available books are some of the current best sellers. So, if you want to shop for books, go elsewhere. But, if you want a best seller, Costco is a worthy place to go.

  7. The only thing in this article that makes any sense is the coffee. The beans are always better because of the oils.
    The rest is preference.
