Same product is on special at Costco for $14.99 for two ($7.49 each). Normal price at Costco is $18.99 for two ($9.49 each). So it's nearly $1 cheaper at Coles and you only need to buy one.
I've always said Costco isn't cheaper if you're smart about what you buy at Coles/Woolies (i.e. if you stick to the specials) and this is just another example. If you're an idiot and pay full price at Coles/Woolies then yes Costco is generally marginally cheaper.
Costco have some unique products which may justify the membership fee for some people, but if you go there because you think general groceries that you can get elsewhere are cheaper then you're mistaken.
