It's cheaper per unit but you'll also spend 3 times as much as you would at any other store as a result OP

paying a membership fee to shop somewhere rubs me the wrong way. it's like when the gas company charges you an extra $5 to pay your bill by credit card.

i'm already trying to give you my money, don't charge me more money to give you the money

It is only good for novelty oversized goods like 64 packs of toilet paper, 4 kg cartons of washing powder and bulk purchase diamond rings. Once the novelty is over it isn't worth it.

if you buy all your toilet paper, paper towels, and have a freezer you can throw meat in then it will pay for itself in a few months.

some things like chicken breasts and tuna in a can are a more expensive than what you pay at a regular grocery store but toilet paper and paper towel are where you save money.

also i bought 200+ bounty fabric softener dryer sheets for nearly nothing and that will last me about 3 years.

get the american express card and you can shop there for free.

you underestimate the price of tuna in australian grocery stores. it's $1 for a 95g can which is actually 68g without water. I have like 3-4 a day

For the things that I typically bought there I did the math and realized I was only saving money on tortilla chips, and they weren't exactly my favorite either.

Got quality goods at the Costco OP. If your state allows them to have a liquor license then apparently the booze is super cheap too.

That's not expensive at all for brine tuna (not the total garbage they drown in oil or sauce)

Their seafood is great. I get giant pieces of really good looking/tasting salmon for a decent price. Their scallops are huge and lobster tails are pretty large.

I didn't believe it until my dad told me about it. If you're into cooking seafood/meat yourself, check it out.

Costo is amazing, its like the warehouse that holds bulk of every product for grocery stores ready to be shipped, except it sells straight to you for a fee. Cut out the corporate chain grocery middleman, get yo poo poo from tha source.
