Costco's thing is that they're bulk quantities at a lower price. They'll either have larger bottles/bags/cans, or they'll package 2+ of the regular ones together.
At my local supermarket, I can buy a single onion if I'd like. If I want a them pre-bagged, it's a 3LBs bag. At Costco, the option is a 10LB bag. 5LBs bags of mozzarella. 5LB and 10LBs bags of carrots.
It's a great place to shop, especially for large families/groups, but if you're a small household then it will lend towards over-buying, simply because you can't get a 1-2 person quantity of most things. This morning, I walked to the store and bought a single avocado. If I'd gone to Costco, I would've had to get a bag of five. (Which is surprisingly few for Costco.)
