What Do Costco Items Cost?

One of my more popular posts asks Is Costco Worth the Membership? There, I did an item by item comparison of my grocery store’s prices versus what I paid for them at Costco.

Since it seems that people are interested at getting a look behind that membership-blocked door, here is some more information about what I’m able to get there and at what prices.

A Hair Donation to Pantene Beautiful Lengths

hair donationAs part of starting out the new year, I cut off almost ten inches of my hair. It’s been growing for specifically this purpose, but it was starting to drive me crazy near the end.

Now the ponytail is off to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. They have a simple program and their minimum length is only eight inches. Most other programs are up to ten or twelve inches now.

The hair donation restrictions just keep getting harder and harder to reach. Every time I do this, I swear it’s going to be the last time because hair that long is such a hassle.

But look at how much money I save:

  • one haircut a year: $66 (tip included)
  • a trim every month for a year: $792
  • a cut every two months for a year: $396

Is my discomfort worth $330 plus part of a wig for a cancer patient? Probably, right?
