Cream Cheese Prices Continue to Creep Up
A four-pack of Kirkland cream cheese now costs around $9.99, reflecting about a 5% increase. For households that bake frequently or cook from scratch, this can noticeably impact weekly expenses.
Bulk purchases only save money if they match usage patterns. Otherwise, buying smaller packs elsewhere may reduce waste and preserve cash flow — an important principle in smart household budgeting.
We are Costco members since 1992 and buy lots of their stuff monthly. We do use Sam Club as well on the appropriate items. Although they don’t handle perishable items as well as Costco. Although neither of them handle their beer properly with temperature control and freshness being an issue.
I found many comments amusing. I love Costco. Prices have gone up on everything in this country. You can thank your government and tariffs. Retailers are just trying to hang on. Look at the many stores closing for good. I have an executive membership and it pays for its self. Our rebate checks cover the cost of the membership. If you aren’t happy…shop elsewhere. I am not a fan of Walmart. I think Costco does a great job of delivering goods to customers. I also love their electronics that are available.
I appreciate their stance on DEI, that they are suing the Trump administration re tariffs. I am happy to continue to support them.
Same with bagels buy one get one, we really don’t like to freeze breads and so then three days later 3/4 of one bag gone, other at bottom is already turning mildew places, I am also putting in the Refrigerator but take out to warm up a little but forget to eat the next day mildew starting.
1. No more smaller grocery carts .available any more-and I can not manipulate the huge ones ! there are plenty of others like myself – small or handicapped folks with have similar problem . I went home with a horrible back ache ! and the ride around carts can be hard to manipulate, especially in a crowd 2. Now as far as food prices ,they seem fair on the whole however we are concerned that the few spikes in prices will continue escalate across the board . We enjoyed shopping there and I just purchased my first hearing aids from Costco.
