Think everything is a good deal at Costco?
EatingWell
Like everyone else who shops at Costco, there are certain things Ialwayspick up thereand sometimesonlythere.
Sandwich Bread
It can feel like a no-brainer to grab a double-pack of soft sandwich bread at Costco.

But depending on the jot down or the brand you choose, you might be overpaying.
Bagged Salad Kits
Bagged salad kits are majorly convenient.
And atEatingWell, we’ve tried every kind byTarget,Aldi,Trader Joe’sand, of course,Costco.
But they’re not always cheaper in the family size.
Dressed salad doesn’t exactly keep well!
Raw Chicken
There are some meat buys at Costco that are well worth it.
The salmon and steak are known for their exceptional quality and, of course, that famous rotisserie chicken.
But the raw chicken is always a pass for me.
And according to theEatingWellTest Kitchen, ground spices are best used within a year.
Canned Soup
There’s nothing more reassuring than having an emergency stock ofsick-day soupin your cupboard.
Meanwhile, the unit price is as much as a quarter more each at Costco.
And best yet, when shopping at a supermarket, you’re not married to a single flavor.
Hello, chicken rice, clam chowderandminestrone!
Suddenly, that $7 Costco box doesn’t look that good anymore!
