I was just thinking about food and supplies like toilet paper I didn't even consider the savings on diapers, glasses, gas and party supplies. We're planning a birthday party for LO in a couple of months so I'm definitely joining before then.


It is totally worth it... but if you have any doubts, there is a free trial (1 month?) you can do.


Actually it's not even one month. If at any time you're dissatisfied you can get your money back.

Our house budget for Costco is $300 a month, so I try to stick with that. But the cheese is way cheaper there than Harris Teeter, but I found the organic chicken at Trader Joe's to be cheaper. We also get the 24-packs of La Croix there for $7.50. I also just picked up a zillion-pack of coffee filters for $2.99, which will last me a good 2 years. Enormous packs of string cheese, which my DH and kids can go through in a week or two, are also essentials.

Love Costco!
I love Costco too. I've been doing Aldi now though for a lot of stuff I used to get at Costco. It isn't in bulk, but OMG, Aldi is so inexpensive! And the meats are hormone free and you can get organic chicken there.

Are you joking? $30 of organic chicken lasts several weeks for our family of four (individual packages frozen). How on earth can you possibly spend $2500 a month?
