Thrifty Thinking: Know Your Grocery Target Prices
I have just updated my Costco Quarterly List featuring common natural & organic grocery prices. I eliminated just a few items and added more, so I have almost 150 grocery items. I didn’t intend to add anymore food prices, but Costco adds different products all of the time, and either I was interested in some of these products or I thought you might like to know about them. Notably our Costco in Marysville, Washington has added Organic Figs, Hemp Hearts, Gluten-Free Organic Pasta and Gluten-Free Organic Crackers.
Since the is my second time updating the Costco Quarterly Natural & Organic Price List, I found it interesting the items that changed prices, especially when the prices went down. I think I had to change about 30% of the prices (most of those included price increases though), so look closely at your favorite items.
In order to make it easier to access the most current updated Costco price list I am putting the price list on a “page“. This means that after I compile the information will write a post just like this one that directs you to the updated page. In a way I am not excited to present the information this way, because I know it’s nice to go one place and get the information and not have to click again to see the desired post. I do think this helps direct you to the most current information, though. That way when people land here in August, even though I am posting this in April, they will still find the most current price list, since I plan my next update for July. Or if you pin this, you will still have easy access to the most current price list. I hope this all makes sense and isn’t too annoying, so I thank you for your patience in advance.
This list was updated on Wednesday April, 17, 2013 at the Marysville, Washington Costco. Hopefully this will give you at least an idea of what products and prices your Costco may have. GO HERE TO SEE THE MOST UPDATED COSTCO PRICE UPDATE PAGE.

I love Costco! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michelle, You are welcome, and thanks for visiting!
I live near one of the 3 Albuquerque, NM Costcos and their organic selection is terrible. To me, the USDA Organic seal mean not too much. A 3rd party organic certification like Oregon Tilth gives me more purchasing confidence than just the USDA and the only item they have that has the OTCO seal is their KS brand case of crushed canned tomatoes. And the OTCO seal is hidden in the back, while the USDA seal is plastered all over the box.
All 3 stores here carry prepared, heat and eat foods and a whole aisle devoted to snack foods for the greater population in NM like nachos and such. Also with this being the Southwest and having a large LDS population, they sell lots of food storage and preparedness foods that are loaded with preservatives and are just plain fake and I consider a non food item. So needless to say we go to Trader Joes or to the co-op.
Hi Susan, I am learning more and more about food in general and especially organic food, so it is good to know about the Oregon Tilth. I am also looking for the “Non GMO Project” label on things that are mostly organic. I love Trader Joe’s!!! I also just became a member of our local co-op last month. Thank you for visiting!
Believe me, Sonja, what I have learned over the last 30 some years about food, I wish that I could reverse it all. Back then it was coconut oil, butter, eggs were all taboo and now they say it is all great. My hubby was raised on a ranch where beef was “what’s for dinner” and when I made him aware of the feeding practices now, he just won’t eat any meat anymore. We do eat a lot of salmon: Alaskan wild caught, though. NO pond raised frankenfish for us! 😉
Hi Susan, Isn’t it interesting when research flips? I remember especially when eggs were considered bad, too. And the fat-free craze: CRAZY! It’s naturally full fat for us, now! Thanks for visiting!
This is so helpful.
I would love for you to link up at the Empty Your Archive link party – we’ve got a special feature this week on budgeting, Alice x

Thank you for your website & the lists for Winco and Costco! They are really helpful.
Hi Kim, You are welcome, and thanks for visiting! Comments like yours encourages me to continue. Have a great week!
Thank you for sharing this. We’re in Tacoma and I have the hardest time deciding the cheapest place to shop or what to buy from where. This is a great resource!
Hi Beth, You are welcome. I love having the convenience of this list on my phone to compare prices. Thank you for visiting!
What a great resource! Thanks for sharing at Healthy 2Day Wednesday.
Hi Steph, You are welcome. I love your link party! Thanks for visiting!
Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi! I love my Costco, but heard that they irradiate all their food. Do you know if this is true? I find conflicting information on the internet – and I’d really love to continue shopping there for food. Thanks so much! 🙂
Hi Mary, I have never heard that before. I did a little internet research myself and found nothing conclusive, but I will keep my ears and eyes open. Thanks for the heads up, and thanks for visiting!
It’s good to hear that your Costco which is somewhat near mine is adding more organic products. I need to take a look again when I’m at mine next month. I keep meaning to compare the cost of the organic coconut oil since I have that on order through Amazon’s Subscribe and Save program.
I have a Costco price book set up through Google docs. That seems to be the best way for me to maintain it right now.
I would love for you to link up your post at my Fabulously Frugal Thursday linky at http://alifeinbalance.net
Yes, I always get excited when I see more organic products!! Thanks for visiting!
