Bacon and Other Things You Should Be Buying at Costco

After some rigorous testing and comparison shopping, Consumer Reports recently came up with a list of things you should buy and not buy at Costco. The consumer experts basically reviewed and rated a number of Costco-brand products, and those that were lacking in quality and price were ranked the lowest. Contrary to popular opinion, not every item at bulk-shopping stores is a deal, and you'd be surprised at how many strange things you can buy. Here are some Costco items you should buy and avoid:

Best deals

  • Bacon
  • Car battery
  • Coffeemaker
  • Ice cream
  • Laundry detergent

Things to avoid
