7 Products to Avoid Buying at Warehouse Clubs

Name-Brand Cereal

Warehouse clubs sell name-brand cereals, but frugal shoppers know they can grab the breakfast staple for less somewhere else.

Kellogg, General Mills, and a few other manufacturers regularly have discounts and coupons that can be used at your local store, but not at Costco or Sam’s Club. Look for coupons in your Sunday newspaper or the manufacturer’s website.

You can also stack these coupons with any sale your local retailer promotes. This means you’ll get a better deal at the grocery store than at a warehouse club.

For example, Target’s recent weekly sale promotion featured a “two for $7” deal on select cereal brands, including a 24oz box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies.

On Kellogg’s website, you can print a coupon for $1 off on 2 packs of Rice Krispies. So, you can buy two boxes at the big-box retailer and get a dollar offer with the coupon, which lowers the sale price to $6.

That amounts to roughly 12 cents per ounce – two cents cheaper per ounce than what Costco offered.

    Good luck finding a powder-based cleaning product anywhere. Most every product used to be powder years ago. Now everything is liquid in plastic bottles.

    Yes, and those discounted dips and spreads are likely close to their expiration date. Buyer beware!
