While you can save a lot of money if you know the right Costco shopping hacks, not everything is going to be a great deal. Take soda, for example.
Various cans of soda

Over time, even soda in sealed cans will begin to lose its carbonation and flavor quality. Moreover, a case will run you around $20 to $22, which is a lot to spend.

Costco is more convenient.
