My family’s favorite experience has been that Costco usually doesn’t have the cheapest option but it has a good value option.

Our main example is something like pasta. Our local grocery stores all carry their own brand of dirt cheap pasta but it’s not as good as the more expensive pasta at Costco. Comparable pasta at the local grocer would be more expensive.

For items that are carried at both stores, Costco is usually no cheaper than the regular retail price and rarely much more expensive.
