[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it still worth it if a) you live in a small space and don't have room to store a years' worth of TP/garbage bags/frozen food; b) your local Costco doesn't have gas; c) you're vegetarian? In theory it sounds great, just not sure the math would still work in our favor under these conditions.

And 10:28 I'm not sure what's eye-roll worthy about that. I think it's great that Costco treats their employees well and all else being equal, that makes me want to spend money there instead of Amazon.[/quote]

Probably not. I would say the storage space is the biggest issue, mostly for paper and dry goods. If you're organized, you can dole out the dry goods into portions and use them gradually - but you need to have space to keep the extra until you need it. We also buy all the paper goods we can there, and 12 rolls of paper towels at a time takes up a lot of space. We are not a vegetarian family but haven't yet gotten good at taking advantage of their meat pricing (it's our first year of membership) and I think there is probably substantial room for saving there as well, so that might hurt your value too. And, of course, you need to be able to freeze a lot of it. [/quote]

Thanks, this is helpful![/quote]
