10. Name-Brand Alcohol
“If you’re looking for decent vodka, don’t buy the Grey Goose label,” Vivian says. “Find the Kirkland brand vodka and pay half of what you would for the overpriced Grey Goose. Why? The vodka in both brands is said to be the exact same thing—there are even claims that they’re manufactured in the same place. One is simply trying to sell you a name brand.”
11. Cleaning products
Cleaning products also have an expiration date, and you might not get the chance to use them before they go bad.
“Liquid detergents tend to degrade over time, so while that huge bottle of Tide is a great deal, you may be using an inferior product by the time you get to the bottom,” Bodge says. “Of course, if you are doing laundry for multiple family members, you should be OK.”
12. Cereal
For those Costco fans out there, I would recommend always look at the prices before choosing to buy all your cereals from Costco!
“I have found that certain cereals aren’t always cheaper at Costco,” Bodge says. “Before heading to Costco to stock up on cereal, compare the unit price at the grocery store to make sure that Costco is a better deal.”
