[quote=Anonymous]We are currently Costco members and use it maybe 3-4 times a year for some staples (TP, paper towels, diapers--which are only for overnight now) and some food items that I think are cheaper there (coffee, nuts, cereal, grains).  As long as we're there, we end up getting some produce and frozen foods but this isn't a regular thing.

We are also in the habit of going to Target at least once a month for assorted nonperishables (toothpaste, makeup, soap).  I feel like every time we walk into Costco we drop $250, and every time we walk into Target we drop $125.  At least some portion of this is impulse buys and/or stuff the kids just begged for (often less than $10 a trip, but still).

We aren't super regular users of Amazon but will occasionally use it for random household items (say, a shower curtain), books, maybe some birthday or holiday gifts for our kids.

Has anyone been able to replace Costco and/or Target trips with Amazon?  Is it worth it?  I don't think I can persuade DH that the time savings is worth $85 a year...so it would have to be something that would allow us to drop Costco membership and/or stay out of Target except for rare occasions.
