We recently made a trip to Costco to stock up.
Since I had all the packaging handy, I could easily figure the cost per 1000 calories for some of the things we bought:
Oatmeal $0.53/kCal
Flour $0.14/kCal
Sugar $0.26/kCal
Rice $0.21/kCal
This doesn't include the annual membership fee, though, or the cost of driving further than the distance to our usual grocery store. For the number of times a year that we go to Costco, it probably costs us about $12 each time to get over there and in the door.
Even so, by comparing against the chart I made of typical grocery store prices, Costco comes out fairly well, especially when I consider the quantity of food that we usually buy there.
For just those four items on this trip, we spent $35, and got 141,375 calories. No, these are not the only things that we eat.
