Is it worth joining Costco's?

They got some good deals on gas, it was .20 cents cheaper then at the local station...

I've been a costco member for years. I love it. It's about $50/year for a membership. It's great for your basic household supplies, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, soda, stuff like that.

Just try to go at non-peak hours. Go on a saturday afternoon and you'll be fighting with soccer moms over everything. They can be surprisingly rude.

The gas is good too.

yes, do it. i live alone and i still have a bulk store card, and i don't even get a gas discount. the membership fee is worth it to me. lowest prices on electronics, tires, grills, paper goods, all sorts of shit. if you have a lot of cookouts you'll be glad you can get the tubs of ketchup and 12 packs of steaks and all the other whatnots.

i have a sam's club card and the only thing i hate is they don't carry cetaphil bar soap, just the liquid. i'm over it, though. i just got my mom a real sweet surveillance system after comparison shopping for about 6 months. love that place.

how is the bar soap? it it more "soapy" than the liquid? i find it hard to get a good lather with the liquid cleanser. it's like you have to use extra pumps to feel like you're actually cleaning yourself.

i like the bar a lot better. it lathers better. the smell takes some getting used to, though. it smells like a combo of ivory soap and that stuff that surgeons scrub up with before they cut someone open. i think the bar makes me feel cleaner than the liquid stuff and it lasts a bit longer. cheaper, too.

so it smells different than the liquid? surgeons scrub... that's that pink shit right?

i'll have to try it out, it's the only soap i can use that won't dry out my skin.

i mean that stuff that's prepackaged on the sponge with the plastic scrub brush on the back. it does smell different than the liquid but it's not a lingering smell. i don't like the jizzy texture of the liquid stuff. i keep the liquid on the sink to wash my face but i like the bar better for the shower. it's really magic stuff. it's the only stuff i can use in the winter that won't dry me out and actually washes. there is a smell though and it takes getting used to imo.

I vote yes for Costco-- really high quality meat, fish and produce-- although there are so many great deals I don't think I really save money--I just spend more. . .

Definetly go for it! Great meat prices and top notch customer service

The membership fee is well offset by the savings

They have a great deal on most everything for sure. Only problem is everything is so damn big. You need a big basement to store the stuff, and a vaccuum sealer to repackage the meat and other items so you don't have to use it at once. If you do that, its awsome.

guys, i like every post...

thanks for you alls thoughts and personal experiences with costco...

I will be making the investment into their membership...


thank you
 
I doubt you'll regret it. if you have a sweet spot for damn good muffins, they have the bomb muffins, big, tasty, moist & a nice flavor variety....their chocolate-chocolate chip & their apple strudel one's are beyond yummy...lots of great items....just be sure you aren't paying more overall for a multi-pack than you would individually at your grocery store, if possible to recall that -I can't, but when I take my Dad to costco for their supplies & he points out that sorta stuff for me I try to make a mental note not to buy that item. BTW the re-up price for membership 2 weeks ago at our costco was $60, up $5 from last year & another $5 from the year ahead, but worth it! also try your best to keep a tally on what you buy there first trip, it can be a doozy number the cashier asks for at the end of ring up! my last trip was $289 & my cart was not all that full...lol
