Costco

alright it turns out instacart costco is such a ripoff

5 dozen eggs:
Costco price- $13
Instacart price- $16.50, 27% increase

10lb frozen chicken breast, thin sliced:
Costco price- $28
Instacart price- $36. 43% increase!!

what the fuck? i could accept like 10% but 30-40% is insane

I saw this during Covid already. The markup is crazy. That said there’s still so many instacart folks there on weekdays so people do pay that price

i think compared to the other stores it still ends up being like 5% cheaper but really not by much

hmart and wegmans seem to have less of a markup

I’ll be honest. Hmart was already expensive lol

Well any grocery store is expensive against Costco, but ribeye rolls isn’t a typically good barometer for price

oh rly

i'm benchmarking off the frozen ribeye rolls which is what i usually get

i think it was 10.99 in store and 11.99 on instacart
