[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It entirely depends on what you buy, but you can definitely save a lot of money.  Last night I paid $5.99 for quart of half and half at Safeway. I know 1000% the same brand at Costco is $2.99.  Huge savings.[/quote]

+1. Every single thing I buy at Costco is cheaper and better than the equivalent at the grocery store. If not, I buy it at the grocery store, which I have to go to anyway for things I don't want/can't get at Costco. But I usually spend less than $50/week at the grocery store and $100-$150/week at Costco. If Costco isn't saving you money, you are doing it wrong. [/quote]

+2. My kids eat tons of sliced Pepperidge Farm bread. $5.79 for 2 loaves at Costco. Regular price $4.99 for 1 loaf at Giant. Sometimes Costco even has it on sale.[/quote]

See this makes me think that Pepperidge Farm is selling an inferior product to Costco and Costco is fine selling that because its customers just value price and size and are happy because of PF labeling. Like they're using odds and ends ingredients in these loaves or are slicing them a bit thinner or are using even cheaper preservatives and fillers but the customer would never realize it. I realize huge retailers like Costco negotiate hard with manufacturers and manufacturers want to supply them bc of the sheer volume of product moved, but PF selling bread at basically 50% of the price to Costco than it is to Giant, HT etc. makes me NOT want to go running to Costco.

You have it backwards. Costco stops selling items that fall beneath a quality threshold or if its cost gets too high. And if you think anything you buy is not up to standards, they have one of the best return policies in the business. They’re the larges wine distributor in the US, they sell rotisserie chicken at a loss ($4.99) and haven’t raised the price on food court hot dogs in 30 years, huge whole pepperoni pizzas are $10. You don’t understand Costco. But that’s fine with us. [/quote]
