[quote=Anonymous]I think Costco saves us some time and money. We are a family of 4, 2 adults and 2 preschool aged kids.

The limited selection works for us because they are usually well established brands and we do not have to spend time comparing brands.

We go once a week to get gas and do 95% of our grocery shopping there. Our staples include organic milk, eggs, bottled water, apple juice, broccoli, carrots, meats, fruits, cheese, wine, ready-made food, bread, and grab and go snacks.

Usually our bill will be $100-$150. If I buy a week's worth of groceries at a mid-tier grocery store (like Giant or Safeway), it will definitely be north of $150, unless I clip coupons and am very, very selective, which takes time.

Once in a while we will get shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, vitamins, toilet paper, aluminum foil, paper towels. Definitely need storage room for these items because it comes in bulk.

We also go there for one-time big purchases like printers, Flat screen TVs and changing our tires.

You can "try it out" by going with someone who already has Costco membership.[/quote]
