Skip: Hearing Aids

As we age, our hearing gets worse, and for some, it may even get to the point where we struggle to go about the tasks we need to get to at home or at work. Many times, insurance companies do not cover hearing aids, which can mean big bills for the person looking for one. Costco may sell cheaper versions at a reduced markup, but apparently they can be unreliable and don’t last very long. Unfortunately, with something that benefits your day-to-day life, going cheap is not the right call, so give Costco a skip this time around.

Don’t Miss: Prescription Glasses

Prescription eyewear can be expensive, especially if you need custom built specs or a rare lens type. Hopping on the internet for this kind of purchase is one way to go, but there are no guarantees that you’ll receive exactly what you were looking for in the first place. Costco’s optometry department does eye testing on site, offering special discounts to their store members. If you don’t have health insurance, exploring this as an option is a good way to go.
