WinCo Foods Edmonds: The $1.48 Pasta vs. $15.90/lb Spinach Reality
WinCo Foods Edmonds: The $1.48 Pasta vs. $15.90/lb Spinach Reality
As of March 13, 2026, PriceHive has collected dozens of price submissions from WinCo Foods in Edmonds. While we need more data from competing stores to crown an overall price champion, our community submissions reveal a dramatic spread in value—from pantry staples under $3 to specialty items hitting nearly $16 per pound.
The Bargain Basket: Under $3 Steals
WinCo Foods delivers serious value on everyday essentials. Here are the lowest-priced items in our database:
- Barilla SPAGHETTI: $1.48 for 1 lb ($1.48/lb). That's a full pound of pasta for less than a coffee.
- Original harvest peach yogurt (Yoplait): $0.77 per unit (size not specified)
- Kinder joy (Ferrero): $1.98 per unit
- All Purpose Flour enriched bleached (WinCo Foods): $2.18 per unit
- Original Premium Bagels (Franz): $2.48 per unit
- SPAM Classic: $2.48 per unit (approximately 0.75 lb, or $3.31/lb)
- Creamy Peanut Butter (Jif): $2.96 for 1 lb ($2.96/lb)
- Fat free milk (Winco): $3.07 for 1 gallon (3.785 L)
The Bonduelle Bistro salad line—including Chef with Turkey & Ham, Grilled Chicken Caesar, Santa Fe style with Chicken, and Turkey & Bacon Cobb—all clock in at $2.98 per unit, offering solid value for ready-to-eat meals.
The Premium Price Shock
Now for the reality check. When you calculate cost per pound, some items at WinCo Edmonds carry prices that rival high-end specialty markets:
| Product | Package Price | Cost Per Pound |
|---|---|---|
| Earthbound Farm Baby spinach | $2.98 | $15.90/lb ($35.06/kg) |
| Chosen Foods Avocado Oil Spray | $11.47 | $13.62/lb ($30.03/kg) |
| Mccormick & Co. Inc., Old Bay Old Bay Seasoning 12/6 OZ imp | $5.08 | $13.55/lb ($29.88/kg) |
| Violife Just Like Cream Cheese | $5.18 | $10.40/lb ($22.92/kg) |
That Earthbound Farm Baby spinach? You're paying nearly $16 per pound for pre-washed greens (the $2.98 package contains roughly 3 oz). That's more than ten times the per-pound cost of the Barilla SPAGHETTI.
Protein & Dairy Highlights
For the fitness crowd, Greek Yogurt Vanilla (Chobani) comes in two sizes: the smaller tub at $5.23 per unit, or the better-value 2 lb tub at $6.13 ($3.07/lb). The Vanilla cups from Chobani 20G Protein are $1.73 per unit—comparable to the Yoplait peach cups but with significantly more protein.
On the higher end, Orgain Organic Protein powder clocks in at $21.74 per unit, while Oikos Protein Shake singles run $2.98 per unit.
Bottom Line
WinCo Foods in Edmonds offers exceptional value on dry goods, dairy, and pantry staples—if you stick to the basics, you can fill your cart for under $3 per item. However, convenience foods, organic produce, and specialty items like avocado oil spray or dairy-free cheese carry significant per-pound premiums. Shop the perimeter carefully, and you'll save big; grab pre-packaged spinach or artisan seasonings without checking the math, and your grocery bill doubles fast.
