  The Costco carrots were $1/kg, not $1.66! 😊 This video was filmed in Sep 2025. * Recreate my budget meal challenges: <a href="https://payhip.com/SimpleMealPlanandPrep">https://payhip.com/SimpleMealPlanandPrep</a><br>* INSTANT ACCESS to The Smart Kitchen System (Simplify Meal Planning, Save Money &amp; Stop Wasting Food): <a href="https://simple-essentials.com.au/the-smart-kitchen-system/">https://simple-essentials.com.au/the-smart-kitchen-system/</a> <br>* Download my free meal planning &amp; grocery budget template here: <a href="https://simple-essentials.com.au/meal-planning-resources/">https://simple-essentials.com.au/meal-planning-resources/</a><br>* I break down our freezer running cost in this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMVuSnG65Yc">https://youtu.be/vMVuSnG65Yc?si=L4FxERIxCCh9zLST</a>

  Keep up the good work Emmy. It takes a lot of time and research to go through and present a cost analysis on all these supermarkets. Appreciate the good work you’re doing for Australian consumers. 🎉

  In Sydney Costco’s meat and fish are so much better than anywhere else, regardless of price

  As an sole household and international student, I think the best option is Aldi and the local market. I usually go to the Footscray market and I love it. Thanks for this video 🤩

  It is not about price &nbsp;- in Costco quality of many products much, much better.

  The Ardeer location in Melbourne has so little parking it&apos;s pointless going there other than late afternoon. Costco is really only for large families unless you have lots of storage

  Costco has 30pc Free Range eggs - 1.75kgs for around $14.79 which means &nbsp;it&apos;s 0.84/100g. &nbsp;That&apos;s cheaper than the two major supermarkets. &nbsp;Plus they had eggs available during the egg shortage periods, that&apos;s better than the supermarkets.

  I am a member here in Adelaide and the benefits to me are enormous in optometry and audiology with very keen pricing on spectacles and hearing aids. Food shopping is line ball due to the large pack sizes which can lead to increased consumption and/ or wastage.

  Costco mince beef is premium beef, on par with the 5 star at the regular supermarket. &nbsp;the roast chicken at Costco is great, much bigger (visually) and weighs more than the regular supermarket chicken, plus bonus- the chicken at Costco are gluten free, whereas the ones at normal supermarket are NOT gluten free due to the fact that they have stuffing whereas the Costco roast chicken has NO stuffing!!

  We do a meat run to Costco every 4 to 5 months and freeze it to use. The beef mince is great quality, very little fat, it&apos;s more comparable with 5 star mince. We buy Costco&apos;s large beef porterhouse/sirloin joints and cut them down into steaks in the thickness we like. They work out very cost effective. Don’t go past the pork loin steaks, they a probably one of the best meat cuts in there.

  Great video Emmy. I agree, I enjoy watching Christine&apos;s videos from Frugal FM... but it is great to see Australian (Victorian even better!) deals to help stretch our budgets further!
