Sometimes a good deal just isnt worth it.
Im a huge fan of shopping at Costcofor the right things.
And for parties, its a life-saver.

But while some items may seem like a great deal, a few arent worth the savings.
Here are the top 5 items I dont recommend piling into your giant Costco cart.

Broccoli
We eat a lot of broccoli in my houseprobably too much.

While it does actually taste fine, the big bag of pre-cut floretswhen cookedsmells like a stockyard.
But the pre-cut florets are worse.
Put them back or cook while holding your nose.

Again, if youre feeding a family of bottomless-pit teenagers, by all means serve them slick meats.
My only issue is that most recipes call for a scant amount, and theyre sold by the JUG.
As long as you have room in your fridge, thats fine.

But I dont, and Ive been staring at that same JUG of capers for a YEAR.
Im going to name him Carl.)
Sun-dried Tomatoes
I have an issue with Costco sun-dried tomatoes for two reasons.
However, once you bring up the jug, you have to refrigerate it.
And when you do that, the oil solidifies.
Second, I recently had the opportunity to taste high-quality organic sun-dried tomatoes.
Yes, its a very good deal.
Its super cheap, but so is dog food, yall.
Its just not good.
