Shopping expert Su-Jit Lin advises that while Costco offers great bargains on items like rotisserie chicken and hot dogs, shoppers may find better deals on groceries like milk, sandwich bread, salad kits, raw chicken, herbs and spices, canned soup, and cereal at local supermarkets. Lin suggests checking stores like Lidl, Aldi, Target, Publix, Kroger, and Sprouts for potential savings, such as lower prices on milk, buy-one-get-one specials on bread, and sales on salad kits and cereal. Despite the potential savings, she encourages shoppers not to stress over planning their shopping trips and to simply buy items at Costco if they're already there and need them.
