However, if you also pay for a membership at Costco, it’s to your advantage to comparison shop before you click the “Place Your Order” button on Amazon.

Huggies Plus Diapers (Size 1)

“If you want to buy baby diapers, Costco is your best choice,” said Andy Cooper, the financial analyst at CouponBirds . “This size 1 diaper is suitable for babies weighing 8-14 pounds, and its Leak Lock System can help prevent leaks for up to 12 hours. Costco offers a price of $44.99 for 192 packs ($0.23/pack), and its exclusive plus version only sold at Costco has better absorbency than any other Huggies diapers.”

Cooper noted that “the price of the same item on Amazon is $52.76 for 198 packs ($0.27/pack), 17% higher than Costco.”

Alani Nu Energy Drinks

“If you’re on the go a lot, you may rely on energy drinks and buying them in bulk could save you money,” said Samantha Landau, a consumer expert at TopCashback .

“At Costco, the 18 Variety Pack of Alani Nu Energy Drink goes for $25.99 ,” Landau continued. “When shopping on Amazon, a similar variety pack of the Alani Nu Energy Drinks goes for $46.33. You save almost 50% when shopping at Costco for this product.”

K Bell Ladies’ No Show Sock

“You can get 20 pairs of K. Bell No-Show Socks for $19.99 at Costco,” said consumer analyst Julie Ramhold with DealNews. “Plus, Costco’s website states that you might be able to get these socks at an even lower price in your local warehouse.”

“The socks have a high rating at both Costco and Amazon,” Cooper said. “You can find a pretty great deal at Costco which quotes $19.99 for 20 pairs ($0.99/pair). At Amazon, it costs you $16.99 for only 10 pairs ($1.7/pair), 70% higher than Costco.”

Charmin Ultra Soft Bath Tissue

“Toilet paper is a daily necessity for households,” said Cooper, recommending Costco to get Charmin’s 2-ply, 213 sheets, 30 rolls deal.

“This 2-ply soft toilet paper has good sales and ratings (4.5) on Amazon,” Cooper said. “Costco sells them for $33.49 for 6,390 sheets ($0.005 per sheet). This price is 17% lower than Amazon’s price of $43.99 for 6,630 sheets ( $0.006 per sheet).”

“While the outright savings don’t seem like that much — especially if you get free shipping via a Prime membership — the price per roll works out to be much better at Costco,” Ramhold said.

Folgers Classic Roast Coffee (Ground)

“Ground coffee is a household staple for your morning fix or a last-minute emergency cup,” Landau said. “At Costco, the Folgers Classic Roast Ground Coffee goes for $12.99 . This makes up to 400 cups of coffee. When shopping at Amazon, the same size product goes for $27.99. This is over double the price of Costco’s version.”

Horizon Organic Whole Milk

When you have a big family and everyone likes to drink milk, pick up this deal on Horizon Organic Whole Milk which packs an 18-count of 8-ounce bottles into your shopping cart.

“Horizon’s Organic whole milk, popular on Amazon with a rating of 4.7 from 4,902 reviewers, is sold at $25.47 for 18 counts of 8 fl oz ($0.27/fl oz), 80% higher than Costco which only costs $21.99 for 18-count 8 fl oz ($0.15/fl oz),” Cooper said.

Softsoap Advanced Liquid Hand Soap

“Whether you run a business or just have a full household, buying hand soap in bulk might make the most sense for you to save money,” Landau said.

“At Costco, the two-pack of the Softsoap Advanced Clean Liquid Hand Soap Refill is $12.99 ,” Landau went on to describe. “When looking at Amazon, a one-pack item of the same size is $17.82. When shopping at Costco, you get double the product for over $4.00 cheaper.”

Tide Ultra Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent

You can stock up on 170 fluid ounces of Tide Ultra Concentrated Liquid Laundry Detergent — adding up to 152 loads — for a great price when you buy at Costco.

“Compared to Amazon which costs you $31.99 to buy a Tide liquid laundry detergent for 150 fl oz ($0.21/fl oz), Costco sells the same detergent at 170 fl oz for only $29.99 ($0.17/ fl oz), 19% lower than Amazon,” Cooper said.

Aveeno Daily Moisture Lotion

“This Aveeno daily moisture lotion which can moisturize your skin for 24 hours, sells very well on Amazon with a rating of 4.7 from 50,858 users,” Cooper said.

Cooper continued to say, “At Costco, you can find two 24 fl oz bottles at $18.99 ($0.39/fl oz). It is lower than the same product of two 18 fl oz bottles on Amazon, priced at $20.27 ($0.56/fl oz).”

Hostess Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes

“At Costco, you can grab a package of 32 of these delightful snack cakes for $11.99 or 38 cents per cake,” Ramhold said.

“However, if you try to shop for the same item at Amazon, you may be hard-pressed to find the exact same size product,” Ramhold continued. “I found two boxes of 8 cakes each (so 16 total) for $39.99, which works out to a whopping $2.50 per cake. There’s no contest – Costco is the way to go here.”
