Bottled Water
Even this common Costco product is seeing price increases due to tariffs on transportation and plastic costs. Kirkland Signature water, which has long been one of the best deals to buy in bulk, is not as affordable as it used to be.
Packaging and shipping costs are on the rise, and those extra expenses are being passed on to consumers. Some shoppers may want to start using water filters instead, though that requires an upfront investment.
Just know that if you buy bottled water in bulk on a regular basis, you may notice the price creeping up on your next Costco run. Another wise option would be to buy some reusable bottles and fill them up at home.
Salmon
Fresh and frozen salmon at this warehouse club is getting more pricey due to tariffs on seafood imports. A lot of Costco’s salmon comes from Canada and Norway, both of which are impacted by these trade policies.
Even Kirkland Signature’s farm-raised and wild-caught options aren’t immune to price jumps. Seafood lovers who rely on Costco for affordable salmon may have to look for alternative options or pay more.
If you enjoy this common Costco product regularly, stocking up before prices increase further could be a wise move.
