[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Costco per unit is probably cheaper, since their emphasis is on bulk and price, but we joined Costco and quit quickly in time to get our membership fee refunded.   The store nearest to us was a stress inducing zoo with checkout lines that took 25 minutes, their online delivery was crap, and we didn't like having enormous quantities of everything--we don't have enough storage for a 4 pack of massive ketchup bottles.  Trader Joe's doesn't really have everything we need, but they're great for frozen food, processed food items that are surprisingly tasty, and their fresh fruit isn't bad.  So we'll save that membership fee and go to stores that are more convenient or get stuff from Wegman's or Giant where we aren't required to buy a ton.

Costco gas is $0.30 cheaper per gallon. That's enough for me to break even on the membership fee.

As for checkout, don't go to Costco on the weekends. [/quote]

If you work full time and have young kids that can’t be left alone weekends are the only option because the one near me at least closes at 8 pm every day.  Agreed that weekdays, especially in the AM would be much less miserable [/quote]

Plenty of people take their kids in the evening to Costco. And yes, I like Costco's hours. There's no reason for a 24-hour supermarket. [/quote]
