We just spent $450 at Costco last weekend for a family of 4, boys are 8 and 12. I'm guessing when they are both teens, we'll easily be spending 1K.

We spend $350-$600/trip, and go about twice a month. DC Costco has alcohol so that's a big part of it, and we eat a lot of meat (briskets, steaks, pork shoulder, you name it). I think we get about $250 back a year on our executive membership? But we took a trip though Costco Travel this year so I'm expecting a bigger check (in addition to the 2 $100 Costco gift cards we go for booking two rooms).

They don't have to. Please don't raise obese teens.

I have two teens boys who are athletes. They can eat 3-4 times what I eat at dinner and they are skinny!!
