If you want to know how to make the most of your Costco membership, you need to know about the things you should avoid. Here's some of the worst products you can pick up at Costco, along with a few select items that you absolutely should. With all the remotes, toys, and gadgets piled up in our houses, you can't blame us for wanting to save a few bucks on AA batteries. While Costco's Kirkland batteries might be less expensive than brand name competitors, it turns out they could cost you more in the long run.
What's th e big deal? A quick look at the user reviews for Costco's AAs on Consumer Reports tells the ugly story. It’s not just that the batteries aren’t good — they’re allegedly destructive.
The primary gripe across reviews is leakage and corrosion, arguably making these inexpensive batteries not worth a buy at any price. According to the reviews, the batteries have a tendency to leak to the point that they could potentially destroy your devices.
As one Consumer Reports writeup says,
"Do not buy these batteries. They are less expensive; but, all will eventually leak and destroy your devices. [...] radios, flashlights, clocks, low power, and high power. Does not matter."
So while these batteries may be cheaper, they could also ruin expensive electronics, losing you money and causing you stress.
