Skip the Costco Trip, These 10 Stores Have Amazing Bulk Deals

  • While Costco might be widely considered the best retail destination for bulk shopping, it’s far from the only place consumers can find items in bulk. Rest assured that Costco’s competitors are everywhere, and many specifically target its pricing and selection to win new customers over. Key Points While Costco might be the most popular bulk shopping location, it’s not the only one. Sam’s Club and BJ’s are both looking to steal Costco’s market share. Walmart and Target also have great deals on bulk items, especially online. Also: Discover “The Next NVIDIA” When you think about Costco, you think about electronics, televisions, samples, bulk toilet paper, bulk vitamins, and more. For most people, buying in bulk is all about saving, but the reality is that this feeling isn’t something you can only find at Costco but at numerous other retailers as well. 10. Albertsons Locations: 2,271 Known for: Locally grown produce, specialty meats, fresh fish, lots of cheese Best things to buy: The Albertson’s selection of cheese is second to none The Cheese Superstore Known for its large assortment of cheeses, Albertsons offers any number of bulk shopping items. Its selection doesn’t quite match Costco’s, but its prices sure do, and with a higher quality standard as well. Among its bulk specialties, Albertson’s excels with a meat and seafood selection, frozen foods, baby care, personal care, and cleaning and home products. Of course, don’t forget all the bulk cookies and snacks you hope to buy in one purchase. 9. Staples Locations: 994 Known for: Being a one-stop shop for office products Best things to buy: Office products, printers, chairs, computers The Office Superstore If you’re looking for an office superstore where you can bulk buy everything from staplers to printer paper, you can find it all at Staples. While Costco isn’t an office supply store, it does have the most common items you would find that Staples carries for far less. Staples is the best place for writing supplies, office basics, folders & filing, desk organizers, and many storage and organization items. 8. AllBulkFoods Locations: 0 Known for: Buying everything in bulk, being online only Best things to buy: Baking, cooking products, candy, chocolate, nuts, organic snacks Dedicated Bulk Seller Relatively unknown to other names, AllBulkFoods is one of the best destinations for bulk everything. The company is proud to sell products by the “inner-pack, case, pallet, and a truckload” if that’s what everyone would like. The company makes a big sticking point that it’s an ideal shopping solution for weddings, family gatherings, holiday get-togethers, or just having friends who love to shop and enjoy a ton of bulk candy. 7. Amazon Locations: 0 Known for: A one-stop shop for everything in your life across any variety of products Best things to buy: Bulk everything like toilet paper, plasticware, food The Online Giant While it doesn’t have a physical presence with its bulk items, it’s hard to ignore just how many items you can buy in bulk on Amazon. When it comes to something like toilet paper, the sheer selection of bulk options you have is incredible. Do you need 90 or 108 toilet paper rolls in a single order? How about 360 plastic spoons? You can grab those on Amazon, too, with two-day delivery at a price that’s less than Costco. 6. Dollar Tree Locations: 15,288 Known for: Being an inexpensive variety discount store that operates in 48 states and Canada Best things to buy: Frozen foods, milk, eggs, pizza, ice cream One Dollar Goodness Dollar Tree is one of the best-known dollar stores in the country, famous for its variety of products. You can find almost anything at Dollar Tree, from private-label brands to food, dinnerware, glassware, snacks, party decorations, and more. This store is unique because you aren’t necessarily buying bulk items, but you can buy in bulk and spend less than you would at a store like Costco. 5. Winco Locations: 138 Known for: Being privately owned by employees as a no-frills warehouse-style Best things to buy: Groceries, bulk food Bulk Food Grocery The least-known name on this list, Winco Foods, is famous for being a bulk food destination. The family-style employee-owned grocery store offers a giant selection of bulk food items that would impress even the most die-hard Costco customer. Best of all, Winco has some of the best prices on dry and canned goods you can’t find anywhere else. Winco hopes to continue expanding into other markets so it can bring its bulk shopping selection to other states. 4. Target Locations: 1,956 Known for: Quality clothing, big electronics section, household goods, bedding, kitchen Best things to buy: Groceries, kids clothing, bulk items like toilet paper Bulky Bullseye Like Walmart, you might not think of Target in the same light as Costco for bulk purchases, but Target wants you to believe otherwise. This is especially true for bulk items in the household essentials category. Target is full of bulk laundry care products, Clorox wipes, trash bags, and more rolls of bulk toilet paper than you ever truly need to purchase at once. You can save 5% on every Target RedCard purchase, and no membership fee is required. 3. Walmart Locations: 10,586 Known for: Low-priced shopping, being a one-stop shop for everything in your life Best things to buy: Groceries, clothes, electronics, healthcare, medicine Big Bulk Section It’s okay if you don’t think of Walmart as a big bulk store similar to Costco, but Walmart is here to prove you wrong. Walmart’s website has an entire section dedicated to its bulk items, including hundreds of food items with significantly larger packaging that you would otherwise normally buy at Walmart. This includes bulk granola bars, pasta, rice, snacks, candy, chicken, chocolate, and more. 2. BJ’s Locations: 266 Known for: Saving up to 25% on groceries compared to traditional supermarket Best things to buy: Home decor, toys, electronics, groceries The Wholesale Club Touting the idea that you can save up to 25% on groceries compared to a traditional grocer, BJ’s makes a compelling argument over Costco. Better yet, you have the Wellsley Farms and Berkely Jensen brands, which not only rival Costco’s beloved Kirkland brand but, in many ways, beat it on price. Fill your cart with bulk deals at BJ’s and then use ExpressPay to scan products through a mobile pay and skip the checkout line. 1. Sam’s Club Locations: 599 Known for: Bulk items, low prices, no-frills shopping Best things to buy: Groceries, electronics, toilet paper, paper towels, medicine The “Other” Costco Walmart’s “Other” Location Widely considered Costco’s biggest competitor, Sam’s Club is widely known for its outstanding prices and benefits. Not only does Sam’s Club generally have a less expensive membership cost, but members of both clubs often rave about Sam’s Club discounts on beef, chicken, and alcohol, as well as having some name brands that Costco doesn’t offer in favor of its Kirkland branding.

Tax Fight With Clarendon Hills Appears Over

  • HINSDALE, IL – Hinsdale High School District 86 officials sounded satisfied Thursday with a downsized tax district in Clarendon Hills. For months, the district had opposed a larger tax increment financing district, or TIF. "From where we started with this TIF proposal, this is pretty fantastic news for the district," said District 86 board President Catherine Greenspon. "I would agree it's a pretty significant change from what was originally proposed, so good progress," said Josh Stephenson, District 86's top finance official. On Monday, the Clarendon Hills Village Board unanimously approved the tax district along 55th Street to spur development. In doing so, the village made major concessions to District 86, Hinsdale District 181 and Maercker District 60, all of which criticized the larger district. Under state law, a tax district's growth in property tax income for 23 years would be diverted for use in the district itself, rather than taxing bodies such as schools. Last week, Clarendon Hills publicly unveiled its proposal to send the tax money from most of the properties in the TIF, including Jewel and PNC Bank, to other taxing bodies. But the village would keep the tax district's income from the vacant property that was once the site of Tracy's Tavern, which officials hope to see developed. With the changes, the village's expected TIF budget is down by half, to $12.6 million. "It's come down precipitously," District 86 board member Jeff Waters said. The District 86 board plans to vote next month on an agreement with the village on the tax district. Other local government bodies are expected to do the same.

Week In Review: Takeda Options Alzheimer's Therapy From AC Immune In $2.2 Billion Deal

  • SolStock Deals and Financings Japan’s Takeda (TAK, OTCPK:TKPHF; TSE: 4502) acquired global rights to an Alzheimer’s therapy developed by AC Immune SA (ACIU) of Switzerland for $100 million upfront and up to $2.1 billion in milestone payments (see story). With the $100 million, Takeda owns an option to license AC Immune’s active immunotherapies that target toxic forms of amyloid beta (Abeta), including ACI-24.060. ACI-24.060 is an anti-Abeta active immunotherapy candidate aimed at reducing the toxic forms of Abeta believed to drive plaque formation and Alzheimer’s disease progression. Currently, ACI-24.060 is being tested in a double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase Ib/II trial in subjects with mild Alzheimer’s disease and in adults with Down's syndrome. San Diego’s Erasca (ERAS) acquired rights for two China-developed pre-clinical RAS candidates in two separate agreements, while it is sidelining two of its own candidates and temporarily discontinuing development on a third candidate. Erasca will also raise $160 million from investors. The company acquired ex-China rights to a pan-RAS molecular glue (ERAS-0015) from Joyo Pharmatech of Guangzhou in a $189 million deal and global rights to a pan-KRAS inhibitor (ERAS-4001) from Sichuan Medshine Discovery in a $170 million agreement. Shenzhen Beimei Pharma acquired greater China rights for Twyneo, a therapy for acne vulgaris, from Israel’s Sol-Gel (SLGL) for $15 million. Sol-Gel will be eligible to receive up to $10 million in upfront and regulator milestones. The remaining $5 million is potential royalty payments. Twyneo is the only fixed-dose combination of tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide cream available in the US; it is approved to treat acne vulgaris in adults and pediatric patients. Beimei markets products for pediatrics patients with a portfolio of more than 40 drugs approved or in the pipeline. Trials and Approvals Shanghai’s Zai Lab (ZLAB; HK: 9688) reported China’s NMPA approved Augtyro (repotrectinib) as a treatment for adult patients with locally advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (see story). The approval is based on an open-label, single-arm, Phase I/II trial that evaluated repotrectinib in TKI-naïve and TKI-pretreated patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC. In 2020, Zai Lab acquired China rights to the drug from Turning Point Therapeutics of San Diego for $25 million upfront and up to $151 million in milestones, plus royalties. Turning Point is now a division of Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY). Shanghai Everest Medicines (HK: 1952) launched Nefecon, a treatment for IgA nephropathy (IgAN), in China by filling the first prescription. IgAN, a rare disease that accounts for 35-50% of glomerular disease cases in China, can cause end-stage renal disease that is treated by kidney replacement or dialysis. Nefecon is a targeted-release formulation of budesonide, a second-generation synthetic corticosteroid. In 2019, Everest acquired greater China rights to the drug from Calliditas Therapeutics (CALT, OTCPK:CLTEF) of Sweden in a $121 million agreement. Nefecon is already approved in the US and EU. Suzhou Ractigen Therapeutics reported that a China IND was approved for RAG-17 as a therapy for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). RAG-17 is a therapeutic siRNA designed to suppress the SOD1 gene in ALS patients with pathogenic mutations. Of the more than 50 genes associated with ALS, SOD1 gene mutations account for approximately 20% of the cases. Using Ractigen's proprietary SCAD delivery platform, RAG-17 combines siRNA with an accessory oligonucleotide to improve efficacy in central nervous system tissues. In preclinical studies, RAG-17 showed the ability to improve motor function and prolong survival. Beijing InnoCare Pharma (OTCPK:INCPF; HK: 09969; SHA: 688428) has completed the enrollment process in a China Phase II trial of ICP-488, a potential psoriasis therapy (see story). ICP-488 is a TYK2 (tyrosine kinase 2) JH2 allosteric inhibitor. The trial enrolled 129 patients who were randomized to one of three treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio: a 6mg once-daily group, a 9mg once-daily group, and a placebo group, for 12 consecutive weeks of treatment. By binding the JH2 domain, ICP-488 blocks the signal transduction of IL-23, IL-12, type 1 IFN and other inflammatory cytokines. Shanghai Mabwell (SHA: 688062) reported positive data from a China trial of its novel Nectin-4-targeting ADC for triple-negative breast cancer. In 20 patients with advanced or metastatic disease, 50% reported an objective response and 80% experienced disease control. One patient had a complete response that has continued for 20 months so far. Mabwell says a China IND for the drug, 9MW2821, has also been accepted in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor. According to the company, 9MW2821 is the first the Nectin-4-targeting ADC developed by a Chinese company to start clinical trials. Nanjing IASO Bio announced that Science Immunology, a sub-journal of Science, published a single-cell analysis of its anti-BCMA CAR T cell therapy in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). NMOSD is an autoimmune disease that usually occurs in the optic nerve and spinal cord, though it can affect the brain. The disease, which occurs in flare-ups that can cause muscle weakness or blindness, is sometimes misdiagnosed as multiple myeloma. Last year, IASO and its partner, Innovent (OTCPK:IVBIY, OTCPK:IVBXF), were approved in China to launch Equecabtagene Autoleucel, an anti-BCMA CAR T drug, as a fourth-line therapy for multiple myeloma.

Goldman Sachs Projects Over 30% Upside for These 3 Stocks

  • This summer has seen policies and economic forecasts move in see-saw fashion, as state economies opened up, restrictions were lifted – and then the dreaded ‘second wave’ of COVID-19 showed signs of appearing, prompting new lockdowns in California and a mask mandate in Texas. Investment bank Goldman Sachs, which had been forecasting a gangbusters growth rate of 33% in Q3, now sees the economy beginning to slow. The firm is guiding toward 25% growth in third quarter, and a July-August ‘pause’ in consumer services.Still, according to Goldman’s chief economist Jan Hatzius, “The recent declines are minor compared to the collapse in activity in March and April, but they clearly indicate a break from the steady upward trend since mid-April.”Even though the bank, and its strategists, are turning more cautious on the markets as we head into late summer, they are also pointing out stocks to buy. It’s a contradiction, but squared by the stock analysts’ approach. They are now taking a more selective look at the markets, to find the less-visible opportunities hidden behind the pandemicWe’ve used the TipRanks database to pull up the details on three stocks that Goldman Sachs recommends. These stocks all offer over 30% upside potential in a difficult investing climate. Let’s see what else brought them to the analysts’ attention.Albertsons Companies (ACI)America’s second largest grocery chain, Albertsons, went public this past June. The chain’s management saw opportunity in the pandemic chaos – with more people cooking at home, a grocery chain basing its brand on fresh meat and seafood would have a chance to build on changing consumer habits. The grocery chain is profitable, with revenues of $62 billion in fiscal year 2019 and net income of $466 million. Goldman’s Kate McShane, a 5-star expert on retail stocks, is bullish on groceries. In a recent note, she writes, “[We] note eating at home trends continue to hold up well, with food growth above where it was pre-pandemic and grocery app downloads still above average. We believe that demand will remain higher than average for the longer term driven by a more value conscious consumer and possibly due to behavioral changes of eating out.”Regarding ACI, McShane notes “Our framework focuses on operating income dollar growth, market share gains, defensiveness, execution, SSS sales growth, and EPS growth in the context of valuation. ACI scores the highest on all these measures versus SFM and KR. Further, ACI scores only slightly lower than high quality names such as WMT, COST and ORLY, further underscoring our Buy rating.”Along with her Buy rating, McShane sets a $22 price target on ACI that implies an upside of 45%. (To watch McShane’s track record, click here)Overall, Wall Street agrees with the Goldman Sachs stance on Albertsons. The stock has 16 reviews, including 13 Buys and just 3 Holds. Shares are trading for $15.20, while the $19.64 average price target suggests a one-year upside of 29%. (See ACI stock analysis on TipRanks)Kimco Realty (KIM)From groceries, we move to Kimco Realty, a real estate investment trust that focuses on shopping centers. The company’s portfolio includes 422 properties, with more than 70 million square feet of leasable space.The collapse in retail activity during 1H20 hurt Kimco’s share price, but not the company earnings. KIM fell 56% in March, and has recovered only slightly. The stock is still down 40% from pre-crash levels. At the same time, earnings have been steady and stable. Q1 EPS came in at 37 cents, beating the 36-cent forecast – and matching the previous two quarters. Revenues, at $289.7 million, were in-line with the forecast and the year-ago numbers.The May earnings helped support Kimco, but the company got a stronger shot in the arm last month. At the end of June, Kimco announced that it has realized over $71 million from an investment in a major grocery chain that anchors many of the company’s retail properties. The investment – which has totaled $207 million since 2006 – has brought the REIT at total of $569 million over the years. And the grocery company that has brought Kimco these gains? Albertsons.Covering this stock for Goldman Sachs, analyst Caitlin Burrows noted, "As of June 30, 2020, the company had collected 66%, 65%, and 72% of pro-rata ABR for April, May, and June 2020, respectively. This is slightly higher than our prior estimate of 2Q collections, of 66%. In 2Q20, the company expects to increase its allowance for doubtful accounts receivable (AR) by $45-$55 million (consisting of $35.5-$40.5 million of allowance against AR and $9.5-$14.5 million against straight line rent receivables). We acknowledge this reserve reflects KIM’s approach to accounting, but will likely vary by REIT in the near-term due to each company’s own assumptions and accounting practices."To this end, Burrows rates KIM a Buy, along with a $15 price target. This figure implies a strong upside of 38% for shares. (To watch Burrow’s track record, click here)Wall Street is naturally wary of a major retail property owner right now, so the analyst consensus, a Hold, is sharp contrast to Burrows’ upbeat outlook. The consensus rating is based on 3 Buys, 10 Holds, and 1 Sell given in recent weeks. KIM shares have an average price target of $12.96, suggesting – despite the caution – a 15% upside potential in the coming year. (See KIM stock analysis on TipRanks)Citrix Systems (CTXS)From groceries, we move to tech. Citrix is a software company, offering SaaS and cloud systems for desktop virtualization, security, and networking. The company’s shares have been rising steadily through the pandemic period, as its products are a fine fit for the mass move toward remote work. CTXS is up 17% since February, strongly outpacing the broader markets.Earnings in Q1 were strong, growing sequentially from Q4 and beating the analyst forecasts. Q2 was disappointing, however, with EPS sliding from $1.46 to 99 cents – although it was still well above the estimates. Q2 revenues, at $799 million, were also above the forecast, and up 6.8% year-over-year.With a presence in over 100 countries, a customer base more than 10,000 strong, and annual revenues exceeding $3 billion, along with digital products well suited to today’s work environment, Citrix stands in an enviable position. Heather Bellini, Goldman’s 5-star analysts, notes this when she writes, “We continue to view Citrix as well positioned to capitalize on long-term secular growth tailwinds, including workforce mobility and security, within its digital workspaces business. We believe the debate going forward will likely center on the durability of recent strength following work from home initiatives enacted post COVID-19…”Bellini’s bullish outlook and Buy rating on the stock come with a $189 price target, indicating her confidence in 36% growth for the year ahead. (To watch Bellini’s track record, click here)Overall, the analyst consensus here is a Moderate Buy, based on 11 reviews, including 5 each Buys and Holds, along with 1 Sell. The average price target, $166.57, suggests room for 16% growth from the current trading price of $139.35.

Why Analysts Are Adding Albertsons To Their Shopping Lists After Grocer's IPO

  • Wall Street analysts can now issue recommendations on Albertsons Companies Inc (NYSE: ACI) after the grocery store chain went public in late June. Here's what the Street is saying.The Albertsons Analysts RBC Capital Markets analyst Beth Reed initiated coverage of Albertsons stock with an Outperform rating and $19 price target.Oppenheimer analyst Rupesh Parikh initiated with an Outperform and $18 price target.Credit Suisse analyst Judah Frommer initiated with an Outperform and $18 price target.Deutsche Bank analyst Paul Trussell initiated with a Buy and $21 price target.RBC: Albertsons Solid Before COVID-19 Prior to the pandemic, Albertsons offered investors a "solid transformation story" after it integrated Safeway, and had only started to invest in new operational initiatives like loyalty and e-commerce, Reed said in the initiation note.These steps to improve its performance remain "part of the story" today and offer better upside potential versus competitors that have less room to grow, the analyst said. The grocery chain will benefit from more macro trends, including a long-lasting shift toward working from home; easier access to buy groceries online; the rising popularity of cooking as a hobby; and a slower macroeconomic environment, Reed said. In Albertsons' case, the expansion of curbside pickup could drive identical sales growth for at least two years, the analyst said.The company plans to expand the number stores that can handle grocery pickup from around 650 today to 1,600 or more locations in two years, according to RBC. Oppenheimer: Albertsons A Formidable Competitor Albertsons' nine quarters of positive growth and recent comp trends are better than its peers, Parikh wrote in the initiation note.The grocery chain's recent momentum should help the company achieve its growth objectives, including 2.25% identical sales growth, 3% to 5% adjusted EBITDA growth and high-single digit EPS growth, the analyst said. Albertsons is expected to start paying investors a dividend soon, and this represents an "incremental positive to the story" in the current low interest rate environment, he said. Credit Suisse: 'Energized' Albertsons CEO Leading The WayShares of Albertsons are trading below their IPO price, and this is in part due to concerns related to the company's pension liabilities, Frommer wrote in the initiation note.While the unionization of the supermarket sector is a long-term issue, near-term operational improvements are likely to be seen under an "energized CEO," the analyst said. Albertsons' ability to offer consumers a "fresh-led, full-shop" grocery experience should resonate well with new and existing clients who want to limit their total number of shopping trips, Frommer said. Incremental market share gains are likely to be seen over time, especially as consumers continue eating at home, the analyst said. Deutsche Bank on Albertsons' Margins, Bottom-Line Growth The case for owning Albertsons' stock is based on expectations for the company to show growth in both margins and the bottom line through company-specific drivers, Trussell wrote in the initiation note.Albertsons is able to stand out in the grocery segment against peers that are sitting back and merely benefiting from a "rising tide lifts all boats" narrative, the analyst said. ACI Price Action The stock was trading 1.73% higher at $15.86 at last check Tuesday.

Jim Cramer Recommends Buying Albertsons IPO Below $25

  • National grocery chain Albertsons is potentially days away from returning to the public market, and investors should buy the stock if the price is right, according to CNBC's Jim Cramer.What Happened: Albertsons was taken private in 2006, but is making a return to the New York Stock Exchange. A group of shareholders are offering nearly 66 million shares at an $18 to $20 price range.Investors should take advantage of the stock at "no more" than $24 to $25 a share, as the grocer is "not best of breed, but it's not garbage either," Cramer said Wednesday on "Mad Money."Albertsons is led by Vivek Sankaran, who took over the CEO title in March 2019. Since then, the "smart" CEO has spent billions to renovate stores and build out a worthy omnichannel business, and added delivery options at most stores, the CNBC host said. Sankaran delivered results last year, including more than 3% sales growth in 2019 and a "big improvement" in same-store sales growth, at 2%, Cramer said. Why It's Important: Albertsons attempted to return to the public market in 2015 and 2018.The first time around, its debt stood at a "colossal" $12 billion, and the latter plans were called off due to poor market conditions, Cramer said. Since 2015, the company's debt has improved to a "much more reasonable" level at $8.7 billion given a $2.8-billion EBITDA last year, he said. "The Albertsons of today is a much better company than it was in 2018 or 2015." What's Next: Albertsons could see continued strong momentum, as some southern states are seeing growing coronavirus infections, Cramer said.At the same time, investors should proceed with caution moving forward, as it is possible the "best part of the IPO cycle may have already come and gone," he said.
