Depends what zone you are in and what you are planting, Google "Vegetable Planting Calendar" for your state.
In my experience, this soil is closer to being 'mulch' than soil. You need to heavily amend it for it to be usable.
I used this 3 years ago and it was full of sticks and such and grew weeds. Bought 10 bags. I hope I just got a bad batch but never bought it since.

Costco one is 55L and this is 28.3L. Still this is good deal because you are getting 56.6L for $5.
Are they the same soils mixture?
Comparing quantity and ignoring quality?

I find these to be hit or miss depending if you get mostly black usable soil or if it's still a bit chunky with wood, depending on its batch creation and location and any given time, a crapshoot really. However, I had seven bags that were a bit too mulchy in content that I left sealed in bag and stacked out in the open in my yard since last year. It mostly composted down into the good rich black soil this time around. Just my experience with these, I like to buy them when they go on sale at different times and stores and see which ones are usable now or later. I have a lot of time on my hands on weekends I suppose.

How does this compare to Costco's deal on Organic Miracle-Gro soil, 50qt for $7.99? Using different scales makes it hard to compare.
It's "potting soil with compost" at Costco but feels like garden blend. I've seen many complaints about fungus gnats in the bags. Smells awful too. I've diced to use it for lawn soil amendments because it stinks for containers.

The Ace website indicates the regular price is $7.59, NOT $10 like the OP says.

I don't get what the point of buying 'in ground soil' is - the ground is already made of dirt, so what are you doing? This seems like buying 'in pond water'.
Can tell you don't garden. What if the ground is contaminated soil? Or your ground is desert rock?

Well, you could buy top soil, but it's very austere in nutrients and won't grow anything well. Or you can buy straight compost, which has lots of nutrients, but has no structure for roots. Or you buy bagged garden soil, which combines the two, and comes in bag form for those who don't need cubic yards can't get a cubic yards of soil dumped somewhere.

Not only your state but your USDA growing zones and your FFD (final freeze date) Many states vary quiet a bit like California or NC where they have semi-tropical coastal regions (8b) to the Blueridge(6B) mountains.
