In my tips for buying in bulk, I talked about bulk bins and how they have the great advantage of letting you buy in specific quantities. In fact, you can bring in a measuring cup and get just the amount you need.
When you buy food in bulk at a warehouse store, you don’t have the ability to control your quantities. But you can save, and save A LOT!
Here are the prices on items I found at my local Costco. Print this out and use it to compare prices at your store or to compare couponing prices to see if an item is at a stockpile price! In fact, compare these prices to the Whole Foods Bulk Bins Price List I posted earlier this week. You can already see what buying in large quantities can save you!
Stay tuned for my warehouse buying tips. In the meantime, what prices did I miss? How do these prices compare with your warehouse store prices?

Thank you so much for putting this together plus the whole foods one. I bought the Whole Foods deal that was available a week or so ago, but haven’t used it yet.

Barb, I’m so glad you can use the Costco list! I know it helps me figure out what is a good deal.

Barb, I forgot to mention that I haven’t spent my Whole Foods certificate either. I don’t think it has an expiration date (at least I don’t see one?) so I’m saving it for a good meat sale. It is so hard to find a good deal on meat that I thought that would really help our bottom line. Let me know what you spend yours on.

I started keeping an excel spreadsheet like this too. It makes a big difference when you look at the price per item/pound.

Rebecca, I’m so glad I’m not the only one who needs a spreadsheet to be able to decipher Costco prices! It does make a big difference! Thanks for visiting, Andrea
