Residents of Canada should not buy these products
Locals on the forum said that some categories of goods and services from Costco are not worth their money.
Buying in bulk at Costco helps you significantly save money. The store does offer many discounts and is popular with all residents. But Vancouver residents were almost unanimous in identifying services and products that are better to refuse to buy.
Eye exams at Costco
The store offers to check the eyesight for $125 CAD with special devices for fixing the parameters of acuity. But according to customers, you can do it cheaper and of higher quality in specialized clinics. In the Bailey Nelson store, an eye test using the same system will cost $99 CAD.
Spices
At Costco, customers can find a wide variety of spices in fairly large packages. Therefore, it is important to buy small quantities so that they do not go bad. Locals advise taking sachets and buying only as much as they can actually consume before the expiration date.
Frozen pizza from Kirkland
Many users have noted that this pizza has the worst dough, and in terms of taste it is not worth the money spent. The locals advise buying Sabatos gluten-free pizza instead. Don't forget that you can buy food at the food court at Costco.
Baking
Most of the baked goods at Costco are characterized by locals as "average quality," and the triangular ciabatta buns were particularly disappointing. But the bagels and muffins at Costco had positive reviews from most customers.
