Overall, the reviews for Costco fridges are at least three stars or better which should give you a lot of comforts when you consider buying your next big kitchen appliance from the warehouse retailer.

Among refrigerators from the five major brands, LG fridges seem to make their owners the happiest. In a Wirecutter reader survey, far more real-life LG owners said they were satisfied with their fridges than owners of other brands did, and fewer said they hated their fridges.


Appliances for sale include laundry bundles (washer/dryer) from $899.98, plus stoves and dishwashers from Samsung starting at $399.99 (reduced from $656.99-$799.99). Discounts of 10 percent or more are available on select refrigerators.


A bag of six avocados will cost you about $8 at Costco right now. That's less than $1.50 each, which sounds like a great deal, especially amid rising inflation. However, unless you're planning on making guacamole for a party, it's probably not worth buying the fatty fruit in bulk. If you do, they could all ripen on the same day, leaving you with half a dozen fruits to get through before they go bad! After all, half of an avocado is 160 calories and 14 grams of fat, so you're probably not putting much more than that on your toast each morning. If you still want to stock up to save money, you can store avocados in the refrigerator to slow down the ripening process. It's just one of the 30 Simple Tricks to Make Your Produce Last Longer.


Because beef jerky is preserved with salt and other spices, you'd think it would stay fresh for a long time, right? Not quite. The meat snack, whether it be chicken, beef, or turkey, needs to be refrigerated after opening. In fact, most packages instruct you to eat within three days of opening and store it in the fridge after that. But even in the refrigerator, jerky only lasts about a week or two. Costco sells big 14.5-ounce bags of jerky in different varieties, ranging from $14 to $20. But with just one bag, you'd need to eat one serving every day for two weeks straight to get through that bag in time (while still pushing the window of when it's fresh). Unless you want to get fancy and vacuum seal it (in which case it can last up to two months), you're better off sticking to the smaller packs.


When it comes to budget-minded grocery shopping, there are a bunch of questions to consider. Are store brand products less expensive than name brand? What about buying groceries online versus shopping in-store? And, where is the most cost-effective place to shop? Is it Costco? We take on stockpiling (responsibly) to see how much you can save by buying in bulk from this popular national wholesaler.


But it does raise the question: How much money can you save by buying bulk groceries from Costco? By my calculations, you'd save over $1,000 in a single year by shopping from a wholesale retailer. Below is a breakdown of how I reached that figure. (And if you get a Costco Executive membership, you could save even more.)


Using grocery list templates available online, I assembled a list of 25 typical, staple grocery items that are suitable for longer storage, either in the pantry, refrigerator or freezer. This ruled out most fresh produce, with some exceptions, though if you're hosting a large gathering buying produce in bulk may be worthwhile also. Bulk shopping doesn't mean buying a year's worth of groceries all at one time, but I didn't include anything that wouldn't hold up well for at least a month, with the notion that bulk grocery shopping can be done less often. Bulk buying also requires a greater upfront spend, which is why Costco's per-item total is considerably higher than Stop & Shop's.


Buying a new refrigerator can be overwhelming. There are countless options for model types, finishes, and features, plus other factors to consider. To help get your fridge-buying experience going, you might want to start by looking at particular retailers and limiting your search to the products they carry. Or, if you already know the model you want, you might not be sure how to get it.


While it may be most known as an electronics store, Best Buy also carries a wide range of appliances large and small. One of the biggest selling points of purchasing your new refrigerator from Best Buy is the all-in-one service. Best Buy offers free delivery to most major metropolitan areas for major appliances of $399 or more, which includes unboxing and removing the packaging. You should inspect the appliance upon delivery and refuse it if you find any damage.


When you run out of space in your standard rerfrigator, trust a powerful single-door refrigerator to house everything that needs to stay cool. This is the perfect appliance if you love entertaining and want to keep extra party platters and beverages cool and ready to go. Plus, if you're buying in bulk, having easy access to the fridge and ample room makes it easier to find what you need when you need it.


If you're a fan of oatmeal in the morning, you can find flats of ready-to-microwave oatmeal cups galore at Costco, but buying whole oats is generally more economical, not to mention healthier since you control how much sugar you add. Buying whole oats also allows you to do more with them than just cook a bowl for breakfast, from baking oatmeal cookies to grinding your own oat flour or even making homemade oat milk. (They're also easier to store for most people than a fleet of single-serve containers.)


While we're on the topic of food flavorings, Costco also sells oversized containers of many types of seasoning blends and single spices, from cumin to turmeric. But for the average home cook, they're not usually the best investment. The problem is that pre-ground spices are quicker to lose their potency, so buying them in smaller quantities is generally a better practice.


Longtime buyers of peppercorns from Costco may notice that they're no longer labeled as Tellicherry, but you're still getting a good deal on a staple spice by buying in bulk, and freshly ground pepper will always taste better than pre-ground.


At one time I would not have bought extended warranties but appliances are not built like they used to be and it is a crpshoot. I would now.under some circumstances. Some things to go wrong are computer boards especially on ovens after self clean and porcelain oven liners, especially blue ones. The idea is to identify the areas of risk maybe by reading reviews and manage that risk. If you buy a simple gas oven, the repairs might be pretty straight forward and you would not need extended warranties. If you buy an oven run by computers, you might want to buy a service plan. I have a friend that had a board go out on her oven and her husband bought it on ebay for $35 and put it in. The same board on my oven, same brand billed at $1800(under warranty). You do have to carefully read the warranties and look for exclusions. For example, Electrolux excludes the porcelain from their service plans and there have been issues with it. Some appliances can only be repaired by their people so there is no way you can get bids. I would also look at Square Trade by costco. I have had bad luck with Best Buy wiggling out but my kids said they are much better now. I have not had a good experience with Sears. They refused to even honor the manufacturer's warranty. They buy appliances without warranties with idea that they provide the warranty. they told me they would only honor it if I had bought the extended warranty.


Purchase an appropriately sized refrigerator. Generally, the larger the refrigerator, the greater the energy consumption. The most energy-efficient models are typically 16-20 cubic feet. Consider purchasing a refrigerator with a top freezer. Models with the freezer on top tend to use the least energy (versus bottom freezers or side-by-sides). Consider buying a refrigerator with fewer doors. Fewer doors reduce the air leakage. To maximize your savings, minimize the number of doors and pay attention to cool air you can feel when you shut the doors. Make sure the seals around the doors are airtight. If they are not, replace them. Consider selecting a refrigerator with a lower Global Warming Potential refrigerant Refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP) for refrigerators include R-600a and R-441A. Selecting an ENERGY STAR certified model with a lower GWP refrigerant means your product will have a much lower impact on the climate if the refrigerant is released into the environment. The GWP compares the warming power of a substance to an equivalent amount of CO2 (GWP = 1 for CO2). Some refrigerants are hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are powerful greenhouse gases with GWPs hundreds or thousands of times higher than CO2. Select the filter below to find refrigerators that contain refrigerants with a lower impact on global warming. 041b061a72
