[quote=Anonymous]I asked about your family.  We have two kids, an extra fridge and storage space and we use the heck out of our membership buying the following:  Milk (organic or not), eggs (organic or not), soda, ice tea/energy drinks, coffee, Beer and Wine (if in Virginia), produce (fruits and veggies are great but not organic), snack packs for lunches, Hillshire Farm deli meat, hot dogs, flour, sugar, spices, coffee, artificial sweetener, butter, gogo applesauce pouches, baby carrots, asparagus, heads of lettuce, packaged butternut squash, flank steak, organic ground beef, organic chicken, pasta sauce, oatmeal pouches, chicken nuggets (mickey mouse shaped), Ultimate FIsh Sticks, frozen chicken breast, frozen salmon, yogurt, bread (white and wheat), chips,

TP, Papertowels, napkins, vitamins, feminine products, suntan lotions and similar, OTC medicines and similar, prescription glasses are reasonably priced,  cat food (canned and bagged) frontline for cats, batteries, lightbulbs, babywipes, laundry detergent, dish detergent, night face cream, day face cream, shampoo, soap, cleaning products

Clothing and similar: socks, underwear for kids, pajamas for anyone, beach towels, regular clothes for kids, all my workout clothing (bras, pants, shirts), some regular clothes for me, sneakers for me

Random things--they have nice flowers, nice towels and sheets, different seasonal decorations and plants that are often a great price.  Super cute and cheap halloween costumes!

Special occasion stuff--they have yummy desserts and lots of pre-prepared foods.  Hit or miss but mostly hit.

Things to avoid--shopping at peak times--it is a zoo.  Also, avoid the 7-layer dip --basically mush. And avoid the mixed greens--they are almost always on the verge of rotting.  I keep trying and hoping but never a good decision.  If you want to buy lettuce there, buy whole heads.

Love COSTCO![/quote]
