[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, people are just putting down their grocery lists but do you know for a fact that it's cheaper than say Safeway or Giant or Trader Joes or Aldi?  I buy everything at Costco but I have no idea if it's cheaper than other places.  I just shop there because I hear that it's cheaper. With that said, the things that I think are cheaper than other places (except maybe Aldi not sure) are...

Gas
Beer (Miller Lite 36-packs)
Wine (Kirkland)
Organic Milk
Cheese Sticks
Eggs
Maple Syrup
Rotisserie Chicken
Steaks

But we buy all of our produce etc from there.  I'm surprised so many families have trouble with the portion sizes of their produce that it goes bad before you can finish.  We have a family of 4. Two parents and a 11 and 13 year old.  No problem finishing bag of Brussel sprouts, bag of asparagus, bag of 5 avocados, pack of 3 cucumbers, bag of broccoli,  some times we don't finish all the berries. But in general, we rarely have to throw anything away.

On the flip side, I don't know of anything specifically that I know is a bad deal.  Anyone?

One of my kids loves Pepperidge Farm cinnamon raisin bread, has it toasted for breakfast every day. At Teeter its like $3-4 a loaf. I never really get groceries at Costco but after reading this thread I went around that section last weekend and saw that they have this bread there and its 2 loaves for $3.50. !!!! Literally half the cost.

On the flip side I got a bag of six avocados and they are still hard as rocks, a week later.[/quote]
