Thinking of canceling your Costco membership? Here are 3 surprising reasons it might not be worth the cost—and what to consider before renewing.

Store-brand and private-label products are a seeing a surge in interest as consumers look for ways to save at the grocery store.

You don’t have to wait until June 18 to find out what deals Costco has in store for the next month. Costo just revealed its “Instant Savings” valid from June 18 until July 20, and there are so many ways to save at the warehouse this summer.

Between them, though, Walmart is cheaper, valued at 1 times sales versus Costco's price-to-sales ratio of 1.7. Similarly, you'd have to pay nearly 60 times earnings for Costco stock, compared to 41 times earnings for Walmart today.

Costco has announced the rollout of new benefits for executive members, set to go into effect at the end of the month. The retail warehouse giant told members on June 11 in an email, and confirmed to USA TODAY, that its locations will open at 9 a.m. exclusively for its upper-level members starting June 30.
