Costco and I were very friendly for awhile.
But after a few years, we grew tired of each other and I decided that we needed to take a break.
I needed some space. There were too many $350.00 totals at the checkout and no calls from Costco on my birthday.
Addicted to Costco showed me the error of my ways.
In a well written post that must have taken a lot of time and effort, this blog compares the costs of 39 items at Costco, Walmart and two grocery stores. It’s summarized here in a beautiful google docs spreadsheet. Which store had the lowest prices? Click over and see.
(Lesson learned: No more buying chicken breasts at the big C for me.)

Thanks for the nice post about my post.
It does take a bit of time to get all that information and compile it. However, I think it is so worth it to see how great the prices are at Costco. There are a number of blogs and news articles that talk about how Costco is upscale and doesn’t have competitive pricing, so this is my way of proving them wrong with lots of facts and pretty spreadsheets to back me up.
And with regards to the chicken breasts, the ones at Costco really are much larger and look to be of better quality. Plus, the two places that had them for $1.99/lb were having a sale.
Kimberly, I loved the google spreadsheet and was impressed with the amount of work you put into researching Costco prices.
Meh. some of those comparisons are … unfair?
I mean, really, who sells Haagen Dasz ice cream for $3.80 a half gallon???
Costco: Restaurant Quality. In fact, it’s generally what the restaurant is serving…
Also, best damn Choice beef in the country (literally.)
