The bulk goods tend to be cheaper at Costco than my local stores whenever I've price shopped them. Bounty Paper Towels are about 5-15% cheaper. Kirkland butter is 10-20% cheaper than my local white-label. Kirkland unsalted nuts is 30% cheaper than white-label. I'm sure not everything has that much of an effective discount. Fresh fruit is roughly the same price. It can make sense to purchase bulk nonperishable products and food items you know you'll use before they go bad.
