Although inflation has moderated, it does not mean that consumers are seeing smaller purchase tickets, such as Costco customers, who on social networks have expressed their dissatisfaction with products that are not of very good quality and, above all, that are not a great offer.
BestLife returned to some social media reviews of items that consumers consider should be avoided at all costs.
Baked goods
Many Costco customers point out that freshly baked goods, including muffins, croissants and cookies, come in very large packages and often spoil before they can all be consumed, negating any potential savings.
Others recommend avoiding Costco’s baking department for health reasons, as their baked goods are huge and the calorie count is too absurd. For example, their muffins are listed as containing 130 calories, while Trader Joe’s muffins are listed as having 75 calories. .
Fresh products
Costco shoppers say buying fresh produce at the bulk store didn’t save them any real savings and is even cheaper at local grocery stores.
Others say they avoid the retailer’s produce because it is not as fresh and spoils faster than what they get at local grocery stores, where produce moves quickly and is therefore fresher.
Frozen products
Some shoppers complain that they have overspent on Costco frozen products, and that strawberries and mixed berries are cheaper at Aldi and Walmart. However, a user points out that in the latest stores these products are not organic and that is why the price difference.
Tires
Customers have purchased a Costco membership hoping to save on tires for their cars, but have found that they cannot use the service when they really need it because they do not have products in stock and the tires can take 3 to 4 days to arrive. , which is very inconvenient if an emergency occurs.
Someone recommended it’s better to go to Discount Tire, because it has more locations and equal prices, plus it offers good service.
Electronic products
Costco carries a wide variety of electronics, but some customers report finding lower prices for comparable items elsewhere, such as on Amazon.
Canned beans
Many shoppers claim they can find better prices on beans elsewhere, such as at WinCo, Aldi, even on organic beans.
