Hey everyone, just spotted GOLI Apple Cider Vinegar gummies at Costco for like 30% off the usual price. I'm tempted to stock up, but part of me is wondering... does a lower price at a big box store mean they're cutting corners on quality? Or is this just a legit steal? Anyone have experience with this?

Good question, OP. From a formulation perspective, GOLI's patent covers their specific pectin-based gummy with ACV, beetroot, and B12. Retail discounts at chains like Costco often reflect bulk purchasing power and supply chain efficiencies, not ingredient downgrades. I'd check the batch code and expiration date—if they're moving inventory, it's likely just a promotional strategy. No evidence suggests quality variance by retailer.

lol i grabbed some at target last month on sale too! honestly they taste the same as the full-price ones i got online. i take them with my morning coffee instead of sugar, and i still get that little energy boost from the B12. if they're cheaper, go for it—more money left for my espresso habit 😅

I'm always skeptical of sales at big pharmacies—sometimes it means old stock or a change in sourcing. For my family, I stick to our local health food store for supplements, even if it costs more. But if you do buy them, check the label carefully for any additives or allergens! My son has sensitivities, so I'm extra cautious.

Thanks, all! Appreciate the insights. Adam's science take is reassuring, and Mila's real-world test helps. Olivia, I'll double-check the label for sure. Think I'll go back and grab a couple bottles—fingers crossed it's a steal and not a compromise!
