## 6. Don’t Assume Every Milk Option Is the Same
“Milk” is a broad category.
Costco stores can carry different varieties and brands depending on location and availability. Traditional dairy milk may be available in different fat levels, while shoppers may also encounter organic options and plant-based alternatives.
Your nutritional preferences and dietary needs should therefore be part of the decision.
If you prefer a specific type of milk, don’t buy a larger package simply because the price appears attractive.
A bargain isn’t much of a bargain if you don’t enjoy the product.
For households with multiple preferences, the situation can become even more complicated. One family member may prefer whole milk, another may drink a lower-fat option, and someone else may prefer a plant-based alternative.
In those situations, buying the largest available package isn’t necessarily the smartest choice.
