My SO and I recently found out that Walmart (I see the Great Value brand) has actually become one of the more expensive places to buy goods from. We've done comparisons from Trader Joe's, Fry's, and Safeway. We've found that Walmart is the least value. Take what you will.

I get 3x as many groceries at Costco for the same price as at Walmart.

I can shop at Costco for my family of two. There are a lot of bulk items that don't make sense for me to buy, but non-perishables and especially any electronics or big (for me) money items I try to buy from them

I just say that because I hear a lot of people hesitant to shop there with the reason they won't be able to finish everything before it goes bad. But they sell a lot of household items and the lifetime guarantee is worth the membership cost by itself

Also if you're an executive member you can add someone else for free! They don't even have to be in your household. I added a friend in need so they could get some necessities
