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!!
