To fairly compare prices, I broke each item down by unit cost (per gram or millilitre) to account for size differences. All in all, if I had bought the same amount of each of these nine items at Superstore or Sobeys (where I usually shop), I would have spent $211.35 more in total.
So if you're in the mood to save, here are my grocery items that are way cheaper at Costco Canada.

This cookie crunch granola is delicious, but the cost is a big drawback. Working out the cost per gram of it at Costco compared to Superstore, though (where I typically buy this granola), I saved $11.31!
