Then why worry about whether there will be booze or not? If the state laws allow it, they'll have it.

Atlanta means you drive alot. Which means you need high quality gasoline at a low price. Which means if you should get a Costco membership for ONLY gas, you will probably make up at least 2x the membership fee on gas savings alone.

Bought a 2 pack of Contigo vacuum sealed water bottles for $13 for a white elephant party at work. The limit for gifts was $15. I did not realize that the unwashed masses without access to the Holy Cathedral must pay ~$40 for such an item.

My membership pays for itself on just the chicken I buy regularly (2.99/lb vs 5.99/pound) throughout the year as a single person. Also everything is either a good deal or the same price for a higher quality item.

Single nearly 30 male here, Costco membership still worth it. I also get the big-boy executive membership and it pays for the cost difference (and a little more) every year.

e: I'm trying real hard to not do the math on how much money I spend at the co to get $60-80 back every year..

What kind of magic chicken do you buy for 6 a pound elsewhere?


The last time I went to Costco on my lunch break I walked out empty handed. I wanted to see some beef or meat that'd inspire me to make something new but I can't pay double what I'd pay at a grocery store. I had a platter of Christmas cookies for the office but decided against it, we've gotten more stuff from clients than we know what to do with as is.

Went to an xmas party last night and stopped off at Costco to pick up a veggie platter. It was only $10 so we picked up this neat little board of assorted nuts and dried fruit.

Someone else brought a Costco pumpkin pie and Tiramisu as well.

It was a good party.

Absolutely. My wife and I have no children and probably never will, but pet food savings alone pay for our annual membership.

Now that I drive by a Costco on my way home from work we've almost completely stopped shopping at traditional grocery stores with the exceptions being things that you can only obtain at Costco in bulk - two people aren't going to be able to eat a 3 pound tub of sour cream or two dozen eggs before they go bad, for instance.

lmao challenge completed already, this is exactly what my wife and I do with that big-rear end tub of Daisy sour cream. We can never finish bags of potatoes or blocks of cheese, but broccoli and sour cream are the two items that we usually can finish.
Heck even if you can't finish it the cost still is cheaper than paying for what you do eat elsewhere.

Does anyone's Costco carry Blue Hill Bay smoked whitefish? One of my two local stores used to get it once in a while -- whole, golden, beautiful smoked fish you could debone and turn into the most delicious whitefish salad. It was vacuum-packed and stocked near the smoked salmon and canned crabmeat in the refrigerated cases, usually not far from the deli meats and cheeses.

I loved it so much, but they haven't had it in over a year. I call about it from time to time, since that store is further out of my way, but they never have it and rarely even know what I'm talking about.
