Ten products that are profitable to buy at Costco
Saving has always been the main pursuit of all people. Why buy more when you can get the same quality for a lower price. Edition Reader's Digest has compiled a list of 10 products that you can buy profitably at Costco.
Almonds
Health experts never stop marveling at the health benefits of nuts, but they are very expensive, and Costco agrees. The store almost completely stopped selling products from other brands when it could not justify their overpricing. You can buy a huge three-pound (1,3 kg) pack of Kirkland Signature almonds for as little as $ 13, which is not much more than you would normally pay for a Blue Diamond pack, which is almost half its size.
Bacon
When Consumer Reports tested different brands of bacon a few years ago, Kirkland Signature scored above the rest thanks to its crispy texture and smoky-sweet flavor, which is even more impressive considering its low price. Free up some space in your freezer, because this bulk buy is no joke: four pounds (1,8 kg) for $13,69.
Alcohol
The alcohol at Costco always gets rave reviews. Vodka in particular has gained a cult following and is rumored to share the same water source as Gray Goose. The luxury vodka brand denies these claims, but that's not necessarily a bad thing—Kirkland's cheap version actually outshines Gray Goose in taste tests. You will pay only $25 for 1,75 liters of quality alcohol.

Klenovыy syrup
In Consumer Reports' test, Kirkland Pure Maple Syrup was the cheapest option ($ 0,75 per serving) and still received excellent reviews. Testers rated it as “very good,” while the most expensive choice in this category, Camp Pure Maple Syrup, which costs almost three times as much, received only “good”.
Fistashki
No matter how delicious they are, it can be difficult to justify the price of pistachios unless you work for Costco. At first glance, the $ 15 package seems like an expensive proposition, but you change your mind when you see the three-pound package. By comparison, a two-pound box (0,9kg) of Wonderful pistachios costs $ 13 at Amazon.
Food film
Kirkland cling film gets high marks for its durability, so the low price is just the icing on the cake. By paying less than $10 for two 750-square-foot (69 sq. m.) rolls, you no longer have to stock up on plastic film for long periods of time.
Kinoa
With more protein and fiber than white rice, it's no surprise that quinoa has gone from being a food fad to a staple food. Unfortunately, this did not convince most companies to cut prices. At Target, you get three pounds (1,3 kg) for $ 12, but Costco offers 4,5 pounds (2 kg) for $ 9. It's still not as cheap as rice, but it's definitely a healthier option.

Extra virgin olive oil
A 2010 report found that most of the olive oil on US store shelves was not virgin olive oil, as their labels claimed. One notable exception: the organic version of Kirkland. Thus, you not only pay less per serving than in the supermarket, but also get a good quality product.
Cheese
If you think anything covered in cheese tastes better, Costco is the place for you. From goat cheese and brie to parmesan and pecorino-romano. The jumbo-sized chunks of cheese may be overwhelming for a dinner for two, but Kirkland should be your go-to if you're planning a party.
Baby food
When you have a baby, the last thing you want to worry about is overpriced baby formula. The FDA has strict nutritional requirements for infant formula, and Costco's version is no exception. The ingredient list for Kirkland Non-GMO Baby Formula is almost identical to the ingredient list for Similac Advance, but costs about half as much per ounce.
