Most of it's at a good, but not fantastic price. This week I saved about $3 on 2 kilos of chocolate chips, $2 on a 3lb pack of bacon, $3 on a 50pk of instant cocoa, and $30 on 3 big bags of grain free dog food. And I saved $0.70 on 7 gallons of gas. I heard great things about Kirkland bacon, but it's no better than Wright's, and last week's sale on Wright's was very near Costco pricing. If I hadn't stocked up on olive oil last month I could have saved another $10. And yeast is about half what I normally pay.
But I had to drive 80 miles round trip, and the freeway is on the opposite side of town from Costo so I have to drive through E. Lansing to get there. Sam's Club is right by the freeway, and there's a Sam's in Battle Creek which is only 52 miles round trip. The dog food is made by Diamond, like Taste of the Wild, but it has less meat than TOTW. Even allowing for the quality difference, I figure a 35lb bag is $10 better than I can do elsewhere. If it weren't for the dog food it wouldn't be worth the trip at all. All that changes if a warehouse is conveniently located for you. I do wish I knew about the Groupon deal for a Costco membership when we were talking about Costco glasses a couple months ago. A set of eyeglasses could pay for the membership. > On December 4, 2019 at 3:46 PM Randy Bennell via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > Well, you might still break even if you bought enough on each of those > trips. Costco is known for offering big quantities of stuff! _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
