Membership at Costco, Sams, etc.

I agree. Even if you just use it for the essentials like bathroom tissue, papertowels, detergent, etc. . it will last for a minute. Like I bought dishwashing detergent from there and I had it for like 2 years!!

We have 2 back home (AK); I prefer it over Sam's any day. I don't have a membership yet; I'll get one when I move back. I just love getting food samples, and THE.BAKERY.IS.THE.ISHT!!!

Oh man...the weekends.

I always tell my people on the weekends -- go on an empty stomach.

Those samples are the BEST!!!

I have one child. September '05, I renewed my membership, bought $200 worth of stuff (paper towels, toilet paper, girlie stuff, snacks, ramen soup, etc), and JUST three months ago, did I run out of toilet paper. It was a 48 double roll pack. So yeah, even with two people, its worth the $45 per year.

My husband and I have two children. We have a joint membership with my parents to Sam's. My mom and daughter eat their way through the store just about every weekend. I use it when I know family is coming to visit. I'd probably use it more if I had a larger vehicle to haul stuff in (my trunk is only about 3 cubic feet, and with two car seats, the backseat has no room). We bought our clothes dryer there for a pretty good price. I buy diapers there (their packs are so big, some of them have two sizes together in one box, because they figure your kid will be in the next size up by the time you use them all

).

I have a membership to Costco. I use it to buy food and supplies for business purposes, and I use it for things I can buy in bulk, like cleaning supplies, paper goods, and other non-perishables. Sometimes you can find good deals on workout clothes, socks, and other essentials.
