11 Costco Staples That Save Families the Most Money This Week
Inflation, tariffs, bad weather, and supply issues are just some of the reasons groceries like beef, coffee, fruit, and more are so expensive right now. Shoppers are being more careful than ever about how and where they spend their money, especially families who have young children that seem to live on fresh berries (that’s pretty much 90% of my grocery budget). Luckily Costco has plenty of great deals on household items for budget-conscious members trying to stretch every dollar. Here are 11 Costco staples that can save families a lot of money right now.
Fresh Berries
Costco’s berry prices are very competitive, for example my local warehouse offers 18 oz of Premium Blueberries for $7.69. You can also get 2 lbs of Premium Strawberries for just $6.29. This will last maybe a day or two in my home, but it’s still a very good deal.
Boulder Clean Laundry Detergent Sheets
Costco currently has the Boulder Clean Laundry Detergent Sheets, Free & Clear, 160 Loads, 80 Sheets for $28.99 (online only). “Even on our farm with little kids this detergent works, I’ve been trying plastic-free options and this is the best,” one shopper said.
