[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've always wanted to do a side-by-side comparison of prices at Costco vs. at the grocery, but I haven't. These are the items to me that make it worth the price of membership:

1. Organic chicken
2. Free-range and organic beef
3. Clothing-kid's stuff, especially pajamas, DH likes their white cotton t-shirts, I love their camisoles, socks for $1 a pair
4. Produce, but especially berries. 
5. Real maple syrup
6. Batteries

I've read that buying paper goods there doesn't save you all that much, but I actually like the Kirkland brand toilet paper, and buying giant packs of tissues means we rarely run out. There are also a few products that we can only buy there, like the little hummus cups that DD likes for her lunches.[/quote]

I have done a side-by-side comparison at Wegman's for some of the stuff I buy...

Some things that are NOT cheaper at costco are:
pork shoulder
tilapia filets
tuna fish (regular sized cans)
some paper products (one can assume there's always a sale at target or the grocery store on one brand or another)
I want to say that the price of Costco's frozen shrimp is no different than elsewhere.

There might a few others, but I can't remember off the top of my head.  [/quote]
