Amazon Shopping: Stop Buying These 4 Products

Costco Kirkland Products

If you already have a Costco membership, this one may come as a surprise to you. But there are indeed a lot of the Kirkland Signature products available for purchase on Amazon, with their prices having been increased significantly! Some people who do not want to live close to Costco or do not want to pay for the membership choose to get some of their staples from the online retailer, but we would advise against it.

You will be paying more for the same items you can find in the warehouse shop, and if you keep purchasing these overpriced items, you will end up paying for the membership from the difference over the course of the year. For example, a pack of multivitamins has a price difference of about $5.16 per pack, and if we look at something like toilet paper, you may be paying about $12 more than if you were to go to Costco!

Not to mention, these are resellers. You are not actually buying from Costco, since most listings are just from third-party sellers, and if you buy from them, you may end up having to dispute the claim with the seller before Amazon would even want to get involved if the product is faulty. Do not risk it!

    This year the best items that I purchased from Amazon are two duvet covers
    which I love. They are both beautiful. One has a dark grey with white twig pattern, which I use as my winter duvet. The other has a light grey background with Asian pattern of white cherry blossoms & brown branches. Both reasonably priced. I use Amazon to purchase women’s jeans. Some fit well, but some don’t. I purchased a couple of ukuleles. Two I kept & couple I returned.

    I get a lot of things from Amazon. Most of my paper products – toilet paper, facial tissues, batteries, health and beauty products.

    I normally buy whatever I can’t find in a local store nearby and sometimes the prices are better there than in the stores itself and so far items that I have purchased and have any issues with them or I realize that it’s not what I thought it was I have not had an initial returning it
