Shopping at Costco tends to save consumers money. If it didn't, they wouldn't be willing to pay their membership fees, which are currently $60 for a basic membership and $120 for an executive membership. It's been more than five years since Costco raised its membership fees, so members are actually due for a hike.

You'll often hear that buying groceries at the supermarket is more economical than purchasing prepared meals.
