It’s coming down to the final deadline. I’m running out of time and need to decide ….
Kids are at college so buying in bulk is less important but I love Costco. My membership expired in May, but I’m down to three rolls of toilet paper, LoL
Do I renew Costco and continue to buy in bulk at the potential of wasting money, or do I give up on Costco and buy all supplies from the grocery?


Admittedly I’ve treated it more as a “convenience” for years. I can probably save more money if I travel to more stores and keep track of sales. However last time I checked, Costco was consistently better than regular price and I don’t have to goto as many stores.
I expect the opposite. Buying in bulk is an investment so I almost always know I’ll finish it. The larger quantities reduce packaging and reduce trips to more stores
Guilty, but they actually line up well with brands and models I tend to get anyway. Given those brands and models, the prices are generally pretty good. But yes you can get lower end brands, lower end models elsewhere
I especially see clothes this way. When they have something, it’s usually a good price for that brand. Of course since they never carry the tall sizes I need, I only care before Christmas
