Food Theory: Costco DOESN’T Save You Money!

We’re Costco guys

Side note: cat litter
Greatest savings, about 50% cheaper than other stores cause pet stores over charge the heck outta that clay! ❤

One thing that completely negates this argument is the fact that if you fill up on gas every two weeks for 10 gallons, the membership almost pays for itself in the savings from gas, if you make the average amount saved $.20/g. It’s closer to 3/4 the price of the membership but still, it makes it loads easier to justify the price of the $65 membership if you also get gas exclusively at costco

Asians after looking at this video:😭😭😭😭

Can we get a Sam’s club video

Can we get ah updated video?

I live by myself. Managed to cut my food expenses in half compare to Costco by shopping at local Japanese market with higher unit price.😮

Aldi's blows Costco out of the water on prices

How to save money at cost co, work there just buy hot dogs, pizza and rotisserie chickens. DONE!

I have a membership and other than the monthly Sprite I go there at least 2 to 3 times a week for dinner by just getting a hotdog combo saving $10-$20 per meal. That’s good enough reason for me.

That's why I don't shop at Costco!

Matpat where are you

Enter the store with a friend's member card. It is a great deal.

this intro 3 years later is insane

Buying food at Costco would do great if you have a freeze dryer cause they make food last 25 years
But then freeze dryers do cost atleast like 1500£ or like 2000$

I think the issue with vids like these is there is a variable to this like for me I don’t need a Costco or Sam’s Club membership but my sister who has a husband and a pair of twins it’s justifiable for her bc it enough for them

Some Costco items aren’t worth it. But you definitely save way more than $1.64 on comparable products.

I wish you also took into account the savings from insurance, gas, and the medical services Costco offers.

ykw $20 saved is still $20, plus the $120 membership could make the membership free if you shop enough bc of the cashback. ik someone who goes w his friends whenever they need groceries and he makes ab $100 from the cashback after paying for his renewal

Another thing not discussed is the savings by quality while some things might be dollar for dollar not saving you money costcos food items in my experience are much higher quality for something that is the same price at regular stores

Its getting more expensive there than your local grocery store

Sincerely can't believe you didn't mention gas, literally it's $0.40 cheaper than other stations in my area, so if you get gas there every week, you're saving $4 a week on a 10 gallon tank, or $16 a month, or, drum roll, $192.00 a year on top of your $20.00 grocery savings. So your membership does pay for itself at that point.

So that was a lie…

Just off of Costco gas alone the membership is worth it. $1 less per gallon. And the stuff in the store is way cheaper for rice and beef etc. IOW you’re wrong.

I have a Costco membership for broccoli, coffee and cause mines next to a train station and when I’m broke. Instead of giving my $5 to McDonald for 1 burger. I get a full lunch with drink for the same price.

For a food hack for this for college students and stuff get someone who has a membership to buy you a gift card and you can go in there whenever you want and then just use cash instead of a gift card

Walmart propaganda

Costco gas?

Food theory:
"I know nothing about economics but I saw a target customer was single women 35 years old. Therefore, you can only save money by eating hot dogs (trash food) and soda (trash drink) at costco"

This is the worst and least informative video ever.
Costco saves money because they consistently underprice competitors by eliminating a lot of the middlemen and focusing on th annual membership, not profit on the goods themselves. Every year they make BILLIONS from the memberships themselves.

They are consistently lower on many items, but not all items. And their return policy is the real value because you can return something anytime except for electronics (90 days) for any reason, so there is a lower risk to purchasing.

If you buy what you already buy, you can save a lot of money by shopping at costco if you buy in bulk.
College students are not relevant to the equation. You con't need a garage to buy bulk toilet paper although you do need a nice freezer.

And Costco isn't always cheaper on some things even in bulk. Look up the unit prices and find what you already are going to buy, and shop at costco and buy in bulk and plan ahead.

W CEO for building factories specifically for hot dog instead of raising the price

sounds like Pak n Save

4:10 is just wrong, Costco doesn’t use a sunk cost fallacy when it makes you want to buy more. It’s you buying basic necessities you’d have needed anyway to try and offset the cost of your membership, it’s not irrational at all. The logic is easy to follow - me need item, me buy thing to help me get item cheaper, me save enough on item I need to be worth cost to make item cheaper.
