Cost of Costco membership two adults is not practical considering the quantities you have to by. Walmart is more reasonable.

My BIL just bought a Samsung QLED TV. Just his points paid for his membership plus it had a factory 5-year guarantee and a 15% rebate via Costco card.
We are just two adults and we save the fee several times over. Gas alone pays for most of the fee and we are both low-mileage drivers.
Buy the Costco gift cards and you don’t have to purchase a membership.
Okay that is just stupid. Buy the executive membership and get a rebate percentage on what you spend. Buy your tires there and your car battery. Get your meat and butter and Keurig coffee. Toilet paper and dog food. Laundry detergent. You might not get a rebate big enough to cover the membership but it will be pretty close.
$120 for two people, then there is the cost of gas if you live 40-60 miles round trip from the nearest store, and the cost of your time to drive there. Local supermarkets are cheaper and products are just as good.
I joined back when they had only 2 stores. Back then only farmers and commercial fishermen were allowed membership - no tax on any items. Then they opened the stores to nurses and doctors - everything began to cost more - just a little bit but it added up quickly. Soon I only bought the canned tuna, catsup, maple syrup and one or two frozen products. Then that no longer paid and I moved away from a handy store. Several years later I rejoined because they had the cheapest tires, then nothing for the 10 years since.
Buying your gas at Costco more than saves the annual fee.
