As a regular customer of the Costco warehouse, but also a member of the Facebook group Costco addicts And, for a few months, editor of “finds of the month” articles for Narcity Québec, I allow myself to say that I have a certain expertise when we talk about Costco. By dint of comparing the prices of the warehouse with those of grocery stores, and to visit the place, there are purchases that I do not make elsewhere. Among these, there are articles which are sometimes featured on social networks, others which are perhaps less known, but all are products that I find almost with each visit and that you should be able to spot during your next trip to the costco of your corner.
