People should drop Costco memberships just fro their being idiots.

I never got the wholesale shopping clubs in the first place.

I am a serious cheapskate and comparative shopper and have found time and time again that most of the products, though in larger containers are actually more expensive by the weight than they are at general department and grocery stores. Particularly when you add in the cost of membership.

I always feel like I am being scammed a little. I have been to both Costco and Sam’s and have scene little to nothing that can not be had at other places for as low or even lower prices.

I could be wrong, I just don’t see the need for a #10 can of Beef-A-Roni.

dont know if you ever watched "Seinfeld". there was an episode where Kramer bought huge cans of Beef a roni from a warehouse buying store and was feeding a lot of it to a horse. it was really funny as you can imagine what the result of that was.

Same here. I tried them for awhile, but found we were throwing away expired stuff far too often. Then it was just me and two kids. Now just me and one kid. We don’t have a need for that kind of bulk.

I think it contributes some to our obesity and gluttony in this country. Was thinking back - all you can eat buffets, warehouse stores, etc. For my bulk/staple stuff, if I can get it, I actually use Amazon’s Subscribe & Save.
