Costco does gouge some items, just like Sam's and its daddy Walmart. We take notes and pictures to compare... I should have kept them like this fellow did. PS whenever you grab a family size or multipack, check the unit cost. We've found a LOT of times that the larger packages actually cost more per unit. Apparently they know everyone assumes the big one means savings - not anymore! Grab your calculator and do the math, frens!
(Also a good homeschool exercise)
Edit to add that restaurant supply stores sometimes have better prices too, if you can get a day pass or have a buddy. (King Arthur flour 50c/lb, for example, but you buy 50lbs so get a pet food bin) Many ethnic markets will have great prices on their staples as well. (Rice, coconut oil, organic, imported...) Okay, fine. Follow for recipes and other grocery tips, kek!!
(gets on soapbox) As ALL math and science should be! We artificially separated them. Math was discovered, not invented, to explain what was being observed in real life. Everything is connected. But if you look at a regular science book now, you'll see tidbits of trivia with pictures, disjointed, modular, presented in ways that actually DISSUADE the thought process that make connections. Without teaching kids how to distinguish evidence from hearsay, reasoning from supposition, vamos prayers from guesses, the system only priests then to be led by the noses and unqualified to apply logic anywhere. The scientific method has been buried, along with logic and rhetoric, and unless we make new schools and homeschool until then, we sentence another generation to stupidity. (Steps down)

Unit price: I taught that in algebra.
Racist! ;-)
UNIT Price vs Product Price...That is where the market-ups are occurring due to the "inflation" that is caused by Xiden and his Merry Thugs!!!

Did you see the video of kid pulling the "roll back" price tags. The prices underneath were cheaper than the roll back price. Everything is a scam.
Oh I gotta look for that, excellent. And, of course.
