I can't BELIEVE how much cheaper Costco is
We've had One-A-Day Weight Smart multivitamins for a while which are about $15.99 for 100 pills.
After doing my research on Consumer Reports, I found out that Costco's Kirkland brand is rated the best in the vitamins I checked out - multivitamin, joint health, and fish oil.
The price difference is astounding. The Kirkland brand multivitamin which is comparable or better to the One-A-Day is $11.69 for 500!!
That's a difference of $52.27 per 500 pills!  
I can't believe the money we've wasted. So I'm off to Costco for the first time - any suggestions on other good buys there?

My MIL stocks up on paper products there. I've only been to Costco once. On a Saturday. Big mistake. It scarred me for life!

I would just say double-check the expiration date since you're going to have that jumbo container of vitamins for a long time!

Re: I can't BELIEVE how much cheaper Costco is
we shop there all the time. paper goods such as bounty and scott toilet paper, mozzerrella sticks are sooo good there and the veggies are awesome. but you have to remember its bulk so if you don't have storage space just get your vitamins!!

Re: I can't BELIEVE how much cheaper Costco is
That is usually the case with most generic or store brands.
If you compare the Target Brand Multi Vitamins side by side with the One A Day or Centrum etc- they are EXACTLY the same....
And they are like 1/2 the price!

I usually always get bananas, grapes, lettuce, strawberries and cheese at costco...oh, and rawhide for the dogs, and I've gotten a few dog beds from them as well....and batteries are a good buy there....oh hot dogs and hamburgers and the rolls to go with are always a good deal there.

Re: I can't BELIEVE how much cheaper Costco is
We have saved a TON at Costco.
We always buy their vitamins (like you saw, so much cheaper!) Also, DH has crazy bad allergies and we were spending a fortune on Claritin. Kirkland's knock off of Zyrtec is awesome and so cheap in comparison!
We also save a LOT buying Kirkland's brand contact lens solution... so much cheaper there.
I also get my Proactiv yogurt there.
Their meat and chicken is just about the same as the grocery stores, but so much better tasting and fresher. there are good deals on fruit and vegeatables, but if yo uhave a small family, it's not worth it. DH and I cant finish it all before it goes bad.
