While we’re at it, frequent shoppers in Costco would probably miss these items. Aside from the cheap prices Costco offer for such products, it’ll definitely be hard to find substitutes for these items. However, you can always try new products that you think might work for you. Here are some of the products in Costco that you should try and also what you shouldn’t!
Buy- Maple Syrup
Real maple syrup, as we already know, can be quite costly. The substitute, which is packed with corn syrup and tastes nothing like the real thing, is most likely used in your favorite breakfast restaurants. Kirkland was wise to create their own Pure Maple Syrup, which is a best-seller due to its large 1L size and low price.

Don’t Buy- Books
The book aisle at Costco is great for one thing: browsing. Online retailers like Amazon are your best bet, even if the prices are a little lower than in other stores. Many specialized bookstores also sell used books for a bargain.
