[quote=moneymaker]I’ve come close to canceling my Costco membership several times, partly because I buy too much there and partly because a lot of bulk food ends up getting trashed, maybe this will push me into canceling, I don’t know because generally going to Costco is always a better experience than going to Walmart.[/quote]
There definitely is a strategy to proper CostCo shopping. I’m not sure if you’re married with kids; Buying a house with a garage, getting married and having a child who now eats a decent amount of food definitely made CostCo more “worth it” for me.
There are things like Toilet Paper and Paper Towels where there are cost savings as long as you have a place to store them, with the bonus of running out of TP less than you might otherwise!
Obviously my family of 3 goes through eggs and milk a lot faster than I did as a single guy. Their organic food prices are quite good, and with three of us in the house we always go through a full bag of apples, bananas or organges.
The downside is it’s very hard to buy 100% of your grocery needs at CostCo. Some things you just don’t want or need in bulk.
