What items are a good deal at Costco?

[Patty Smyth]

Propane
garbage bags
gas (unless everyone else in the area has already price matched them)

Otherwise I wonder why I keep my membership. I used to go once a week now I go once every 2 or 3 months.

I love their Hummus it is $6 (if I remember correctly) and it is 3 times the size you would get at your local grocers.Our staples are beef tenderloin,protein bars,protein powder,cottage cheese,greek yogurt,swiss cheese,whole wheat english muffins,almond breeze and imitation crab. I love costco I just wish we didnt have to drive 40mins to get to one.

Costco sells movie passes? Are they cheaper than buying regular movie tickets at the theatres?

[rhonda_lyn]

I always buy maple syrup and coffee filters at Costco.

Movie passes are much cheaper at Costco. My local Costco also sells gift cards to other businesses as well, at a much cheaper rate (spa, B&B, High-end restaurants, etc...)

I find my membership pays for itself with kids clothing and propane alone...plus Costco has many items not available anywhere else. But, as with everything else you have to be aware of prices...some things are much more expensive.

Yes, much cheaper I think it's 22.99 or maybe 23.99 out west for a package of certificates with 2 admissions, 2 pops and 1 popcorn. You couldn't even buy just the admission for that at the box office.

I buy meat, 3 pk of garlic breads, bacon bits, splenda, realemon juice, parmessan cheese, ketchup, pancake mix, 4L pancake syrup (haven't seen it in a couple of months and desperately searching for it)
Veggie snack chip things that can't find anywhere else, gum, can't think of anything else that I would buy regularily.

When on sale I buy other things too but I have to stand there and figure out whether the price is good or not, even with their sale price some items are still too much.

I love shopping at costco. I don't buy things like deodorant, shampoo etc because I buy these nearly free using coupons. but coscto sells awesome brand name clothes for alot cheaper then other places. I always buy my kids clothes at costco. I bought boots for myself for $34 I believe(looks exactly like UGS) great quality.
Also I don't know if you guys know this but you can return anything at any time at Costco. even after using it over 2 years!! I swear I saw many people doing this, so I ask the csr because I wanted to return my rug that I had for over 2 years and not using it anymore. I told her that I don't have the receipt, I've been using it for 2 years, there is no barcode on the rug. she said no problem just bring the carpet, so I did and she didn't even look at the carpet to see. she just told me to leave it on one of the carts and did my return without any problem!!

We buy BillyBee honey 1kg ($6.69), 10kg flour ($6.99), Xbox live 1 year subscription (For DH $10 less a year than best buy/futureshop), books (always great deals!), and a few other staples I can't think of offhand. Ohh and they have awesome yoga pants for about $17 that look just like Lululemon.

I buy the following at Costco:

5L Mr. Clean is $10.00 regularly, but goes on sale for $8.00.
5L Fantastic is about $8.00

Minigo yogurts work out to be $2.25 for a 6 pack.

Children's Benedryl is about half the price that SDM charges.

Materna prenatal vitamins are about $10 cheaper than the drug stores.

Granulated Sugar works out to be about $2 per kg.

We also get the Kirkland brand of Olive Oil. It's about $17.00 for a 5L jug.

Canned Corn or Creamed Corn by Green Giant works out to be $1 per can.

Diaper Genie Refills are a lot cheaper. I think it is $19 for 3.

That's all I can think of for now.

Just out of curiousity how much is a snowsuit for kids at Costco? Recently, I purchased an infants snowsuit with hat for $39.99 and a toddler(sz 2)for $49.99(hat, snowpants and jacket)not at Costco but thought these were awesome deals.

I didn't bother looking closely because they were too expensive to me. But one of the prices I saw was $66 I think. I guess that's good if you normally spend $100!
