Target and Costco sell many of the same products, but that doesn’t mean you’ll pay the same prices. Buying in bulk at the members-only warehouse club can offer big savings on some items. Of course, this doesn’t mean every item offered by both stores is cheaper at Costco. If you regularly shop at both Target and Costco, check prices before buying products sold at each.
Comparing prices might take a little time, but your wallet will thank you. Keep reading to learn seven products that have a greater value at Costco than Target.
Similac 360 Total Care
Baby formula can be expensive, so where you shop matters.
You can get a 30.8-ounce container of Similac 360 total care non-GMO infant formula powder for $49.99 at Target. That comes out to $1.62 per ounce. Shopping at Costco will save you, as a 40-ounce container of the same product is $55.99, or $1.40 per ounce.
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion
If Cetaphil moisturizing lotion is part of your daily routine, buy it at Costco.
Two, 20-ounce bottles of Cetaphil moisturizing lotion for normal to dry skin cost $19.99 at Costco. Significantly more expensive, a single 20-ounce bottle of this product is $15.99 at Target.
Duracell Batteries
You’ll pay $18.65 for a 24-count pack of Duracell coppertop AA batteries at Target. Offering significant savings, a 40-count pack of these Duracell batteries is regularly just $19.99 at Costco, and they’re on sale for $17.99 right now.
Starbucks K-Cup Coffee Pods
Get your caffeine fix by purchasing a 72-count box of Starbucks Pike Place medium roast K-Cup pods for $47.99 — or about $0.67 each — at Costco. You can get the same item at Target, but you’ll pay $32.99 for 44 pods — or nearly $0.75 each.
Cascade Platinum Plus Dishwasher Pods
An 82-count container of Cascade Platinum Plus dishwasher detergent ActionPacs costs $28.99 at Costco. That comes out to $0.35 each. You can buy this same product at Target, but you’ll pay more — $22.99 for a 57-count container, or about $0.40 each.
Chosen Foods 100% Pure Avocado Oil Spray
An essential for many households, a 4.7-ounce can of Chosen Foods 100% pure avocado oil spray costs $6.39 at Target. In comparison, you can get two 13.5-ounce cans of this same product at Costco for $21.99.
Cheerios
Quite a steal, a pack of two 20.35-ounce boxes of Cheerios has a low price of $6.69 at Costco. Target also sells a “Giant Size” 20-ounce version of the popular cereal, but it’ll cost you $6.19 — and that’s for just one box.
