Costco is one of the biggest retailer chains in the country, and for good reason. The store offers a wide variety of items at wholesale prices. The catch is, one has to have a membership to shop there. Memberships start at $60 for the Gold Star level, or $120 for the Executive level. That comes with added benefits, but the big question for many people is, would a membership be worth the extra cost?
That may vary from person to person, but for those considering a membership, we have collected some of the best items to purchase at Costco, mostly because they can save a lot of money in the long run. For those that already have a Costco membership, this list can help you make the most of it and milk every penny of savings from that investment.
Bacon
Bacon is a staple of, not only breakfast, but a wide variety of delicious meals. We put it on burgers. In salads. It’s a versatile meat, but a relatively expensive one. Costco offers bulk bacon at high quality. So for those who go through enough of this particular meat and want to stock up, perhaps those who have an extra freezer or something along those lines, this can be a great way to save money in the long run.
Syrup
Costco is great at saving people money on items that come in large quantities. But the issue is that certain items go bad before we can even use them. Syrup has a long shelf life and for those who use pancakes and waffles as a breakfast staple, buying syrup in large quantities is a cost-effective way to go.
