Worth the membership price, when needed:
Tires
Contact lenses 
Eye glasses
Razors
Car rental
Cookies & birthday cakes

Worth membership price, about every 2 weeks or so:
Organic ultra pasteurized Milk
Half & half
Organic eggs
Fruit & vegetables
Organic Meat
Pesto
Coffee
Wine
Rotisserie chicken

Worth membership price, but unnecessary
Fresh flowers
The occasional prepared food: white chili, spinach salad, shrimp cocktail, pizza, bread, cookies, etc.

All the other random stuff I like:
Real World Series and Stanley Cup champ t shirts the day after Nats/Caps won. 
Pjs
Layer tshirts
Kids undies and socks
Kids winter jackets and snow pants

I get all these and nothing here is bulk that needs to go into deep freeze or storage. For meat, we almost exclusively buy the organic chicken breasts or tenders that come already divided into about 3 one pound packs. So one or two go in the fridge and the other in the freezer. But we go through them quickly.  The milk is good for a month or more-we go through that quickly too. 
For holiday or special meals we’ll buy the 5 lb tenderloin. I buy the tuxedo cake for special occasions. And about once a year we buy the ridiculously-sized cheese cake, apple pie, pumpkin pie. 
There’s no 12 pack of peanut butter or 80 tp rolls or 5 lb jar of mayo. Have any of you been to a Costco in the last decade? Sure, don’t go but you’re exaggerating the bulk theme. [/quote]
