Deal or No Deal: Red Peppers

You thought I was kidding about our investigation into Costco?
No joke people, we are serious.
Welcome to our newest weekly (or so) column: Deal or No Deal........Costco style.


This weeks victim: Red Peppers.
A huge freakin 6 pack of them.

Cost at Costco: $6.34
Cost at Cub: $1.68 per pepper or $10.08


There are other factors beyond just price though. Spoilage for example---how could we possible eat 6 red peppers before they go bad?


Well we did. We stir-fried them, dipped them in hummus, and I ate at least 3 plain..just like an apple. Can you really eat too much red pepper?


Beyond spoilage there is quality. Costco has Cub beat hands down in this area. Not even a competition.

On the con side, buying bulk in anything subjects the buyer to an abnormal fixation on how they will use said bulk item so as not to suffer from bulk buyer's guilt.

But even with that the verdict is in:

DEAL.
