It’s a common conundrum for cash-conscious Canadians: does Costco cut costs, or just tempt shoppers into costlier carts?
The promise of bulk groceries at wholesale prices is tempting and has gained Costco a cult following. There are even Costco influencers promoting products who claim to not be affiliated with the company.
But do people actually save when they shop there, or do they just buy more stuff? If you are currently a Costco member or have been one, we’d love to hear about your experience.
Tell us about your savings (or lack thereof) and whether you have a basic or executive membership and why. We’re also curious about whether stocking up on Costco wares has increased or decreased the time you spend grocery shopping.
