Sony 46″ LCD TV

February 24, 2010

Back in July of 2008, Costco was selling a Sony 46″ 1080P Bravia LCD HDTV (KDL46WL135) for $1,999.99. Fast forward 18 months later, Costco now sells a Sony 46″ 1080P LCD HDTV (KDL46VL150) for $799.99. Had I known that 60% fall in prices were in store, I would have waited it out. But for those [...]

Diestel Whole Brined Turkey at Costco

December 27, 2009

Costco was selling Diestel Whole Brined Turkeys for $0.97 per pound. The catch? These were on sale AFTER Thanksgiving. Talk about a Black Friday sale. I had spotted these same turkeys just before Thanksgiving selling for close to $4.00 per pound. However, since I needed about 20 pounds of turkey and I wasn’t willing to [...]

Verka Yogurt at Costco

December 13, 2009

This week, the giant tub of Mountain High Yoghurt for $3.89 was missing at the local Costco. In its place, I spotted a 64 ounce tub of Verka Original Yogurt selling for $3.79. I’ve never heard of the Verka brand before. Apparently, it’s an Indian dairy company located in San Jose, CA. From an environmental [...]

J.A. Henckels 10 Piece Forged Knife Set

December 12, 2009

Last month, I picked up a J.A. Henckels 10 Piece Forged Knife Set at Costco for $139.99 after an instant rebate of $30.00. Of course, unless you are actually tracking prices, you cannot tell whether the post-rebate price is a good price. Did the seller raise the price and then offer a rebate for difference? [...]

Henckels International Knife Set

November 25, 2009

After much thinking, I picked up a J.A. Henckels International 10-piece Forged Knife Set at Costco. Again, with Costco, the online price is not necessarily cheaper. I purchased the knife set in store for $139.99 after an instant $30.00 rebate. Costco took $30.00 off the price at the register. No mail-in rebate forms or other [...]

If the recession has dashed your dreams of a Hawaiian vacation, you can still experience a taste of Hawaii by visiting Costco. I spotted 2-64 oz. cartons of Sun Tropics Passion Orange Guava Juice (aka POG) selling for $5.99 at the Mountain View, CA Costco. Of course, I snatched a gallon of that sweet nectar. [...]

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion: Costco v. Target

August 27, 2009

If I wasn’t paying close attention, I would have completely missed this one. At first glance, I thought that Target sold an individual pack of Cetaphil while Costco sold a twin pack. However, upon closer inspection, I discovered that the Target was selling a 16 oz. bottle, while Costco was selling 2 x 20 oz. [...]

Brita Filters at Wal-Mart

August 24, 2009

Comparison shopping within a store is pretty easy with a calculator in hand. However, unless you store all your prices in a spreadsheet, this task can be challenging because quantities for even standard goods may differ. Case in point: Brita water filters. Costco sells a 10 pack, Target sells a 6 pack, and Wal-Mart sells [...]
