I'm thankful for the Costcos that are in Queens and Brooklyn and now there's one opening in Manhattan! You have to be a member to shop there since it is a bulk warehouse but joining is a pretty easy process. The prices are phenomenal and most times are much cheaper than if you bought the same item in the supermarket!
Whole chickens are sold at 89¢ per pound and in pairs so you can buy two chickens packaged together for about $7. I like to roast one and make the other into chicken soup or cut them both into pieces and use them that way. It's MUCH cheaper to cut them up yourself than buying them already cut for you. I believe everyone should learn knife skills since you can not always rely on someone else cutting up the Thanksgiving turkey! I have a video posted here to show you how to cut up a whole chicken.
Bananas are $1.32 for a 3 pound bag which is a bargain when you consider that in the supermarkets they usually go for $1.99/pound or 25¢ each at the street vendors. A 3 pound bag usually has about 7-9 bananas depending on the size.
Frozen fruits and berries are sold in big resealable bags which is great to have in the freezer to make smoothies and to have when fresh is out of season. They range about $8 for a 4-6 pound bag.
Milk and eggs here are at prices that would stun you! A package of 18 large eggs is $2.59. At supermarkets a dozen is about that price.
If you are lucky to have a Costco in your neighborhood or city, join. They come in handy when you are having a large family gathering or having to feed a large group and there isn't a Walmart around.
