"We compared prices for popular cereals at these three stores, looking at locations in four areas of the U.S.: Allentown, Pennsylvania; Dallas, Texas; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Reno, Nevada. The largest-sized package available at each store was used for comparison, and all prices were accurate as of this writing. Despite the actual price tags being lower at the conventional grocery stores, the numbers proved that Costco is better ounce-for-ounce."
"In all four regions, Honey Nut Cheerios cost about 18 cents per ounce on Costco's same-day shipping website. The same cereal costs 23 cents per ounce at Target and 22 cents at Walmart when ordered for pickup in-store. The great value makes this cereal a definite Costco breakfast product to buy for busy mornings. Cinnamon Toast Crunch costs about 18 cents per ounce at Costco, but goes for 23 cents and 22 cents per ounce at Target and Walmart, respectively."
Costco sells many cereals at a lower cost per ounce than Target and Walmart across four U.S. regions. Price comparisons used the largest package at stores in Allentown, Dallas, Charlottesville, and Reno and showed Costco prices around 18 cents per ounce for Honey Nut Cheerios and Cinnamon Toast Crunch versus about 22–23 cents per ounce at Target and Walmart. The per-ounce savings apply to Froot Loops, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Special K Red Berries. Costco also stocks lesser-known, health-oriented cereals such as Catalina Crunch, Magic Spoon, and General Mills Morning Summit at competitive prices.
