I actually just signed up for costco a couple of days ago based on the recommendation of some friends.
A lot of good stuff, but here are the problems I encountered:
poor pasta selection (only like whole grain spaghetti and macaroni-esque things?)
poor pasta sauce selection (no Newmans)
No Kombucha
No hot peppers? (did I somehow miss them?)
No Edensoy
No large unsweetened iced tea (black)
Potatoes only available in very large bags that no one buys so they are spuddy and greening and stuff.
I have no plans to buy any appliances or furniture (maybe a blender or food processor, but really very little) and so those sections are useless to me.
Possibly poor olive oil selection (didn't look promising, but I didn't check because I'm good for now)

At least that was my experience; might have just missed stuff. Still bought the potatoes here's hoping they don't go bad before I can down all 15lb of them.

Costco is not a grocery store. They keep their prices down by only provided a small selection of what sells well. The reason you can get $1.50 hotdog/coke combo is because they only serve, like, 7 fucking things at the entire food court as opposed to McDonald's menu of 50 or so. 80% of Kroger's stock is bullshit that rarely sells, but they have to stock it so those weirdos that do buy the stuff keep coming.

I think Aldi is the same principle. It's what Costco is. It's not a fault.

I mean it's a fault in that if it had those things it would be better, and so in comparison to my dream store where it has other things that I want it's a fault. I'm not trying to shit on the place; even with my grocery-centric shopping and their membership fee I should still end up saving money, which is what I'm interested in. I just wish, for instance, instead of "Silk" soymilk, they had edensoy, instead of 15lb potato bags they had 10lb (apparently they do at the one near my friend), etc.

It depends. Like, american cheese and ziplock bags are about the same unit price as you'd find at a grocery store. On the other hand, they have average-size containers of green grapes for $8 that would be $2.50 at Public. You can't just assume Costco is always cheaper.
