Branded soda and chips are still too expensive at Costco. 24 packs of Pepsi run in the ballpark of $12 and 35 flats of Coke are $15-16. Branded chips are about $7 for a big bag, perhaps $5 on a sale like what Doritos sometimes offer. Those are only marginal savings over grocery stores.
We do save quite a bit there but Costco doesn’t seem to be able to negotiate well against Pepsi and Coca-cola’s recent increases. And they stay away from making a good Kirkland brand cola, presumably also by agreement.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI agree that Pepsico products (including Doritos? I know Taco Bell they own), particularly the soda, is not a great deal at CostCo. However, their prices on meat, and of course anything "Kirkland Brand" make the trip worthwhile. My best tip would be to entirely avoid buying canned soda (buy sparkling water instead — that's how I "quit"), except of course when getting that delicious $1.50 hotdog/pepsi combo at CostCo's dine-in =D

- alan-hn 3y agoI think its a good thing that poor health choices are prohibitively expensive
- 1123581321 3y agoI understand you're just expressing a sentiment, but it's not prohibitive. Demand has proven to be fairly inelastic during these price increases. This recent quarter was the first one where they've found a price ceiling.
