Don’t Buy: Bread And Pastries
Fresh bread and pastry goods don’t last very long, and if you buy in bulk, these are products that you may not get to use while fresh. Plus, there won’t necessarily be the best price for the warehouse retailer.
Buy: Generic Drugs
If you take an over-the-counter medicine like ibuprofen, Tagamet, or perhaps an allergy medication on a frequent basis, you will likely use a quantity in the Costco warehouse before it expires. You’ll pay a fraction of what these medicines will cost you, and you’re not going to run out of generic drugs frequently.
