Is Costco worth it if you don't have kids?

[Bill The Butcher]

Membership for two adults worth the $60 a year + dealing with how fucking busy it is all the time?

 

[Good Ol' Gil]

Nothing is worth it in chicago

[kwhitelaw]

Have a kid but even if I didn't it would be worth it

 

[mdaniel]

Yes. Cheap gas and good deals on lots of stuff that has nothing to do with kids.

When my daughters were all living at home, it was worth it.

Now I go WITH one of my daughters when she's shopping for her family (she has two boys).
It's worthwhile for her. I don't buy much. Utz pretzels. I don't need 8 tubes of toothpaste
and ten pounds of steak. Seems like the meat is a good quality, but I'd wind up freezing most of it.

 

[Mikel]

Yeah if you have a vacuum sealer and deep freezer. I buy all my proteins there, portion and freeze.

If you wear glasses, the savings on one pair pays for the membership for years.

Son-in-law encourages me to get a freezer for the garage, but I've resisted.
I wind up getting smaller packs of meat, higher quality, and don't have to freeze them.

 

[SuperGriff34]

between their warranty on electronics
Ore made meals.
And random deals on all the other stuff. Yes. Yes it is

 

[canning]

For me it's worth it for the gas and propane alone.

 

[ChaCha]

not worth the wait for the fuel imo

Yeah I had a Sam's Club membership and got fuel twice in one year.

 

[Colleen]

Nope... nothing Is worth dealing with massive lineups and humans clogging isles with huge carts.

Costco = 🚮

The wait isn't bad, especially for left side facing pumps. People are too lazy to pull the pump to the other side of the car. #Americans.

I have a garage freezer, but keep very little meat in it. The texture ends up off from freezing and thawing. I just buy meat two or three pounds at a time.

 

[Accords 4U2 NV]

Yes, the warranty on electronics, their no bullshit return policy alone is worth it.

 

[aznboi320]

Getting Cashback from the purchases pays for the membership and more. Get the executive membership

 

[aznboi320]

Always go on the weekdays. Don't go on weekends it's a clusterfuck

 

[Jumpem]

I have thought about joining again. They are too far away for gas to be a consideration. Last time I had a membership I never ended up going very often.

 

[ballzofsteel83]

Do you like paying retail on everything?

 

[Whojive]

gas savings pay for it in under 2 months

 

[Bill The Butcher]

How is the produce? Fruits and vegetables?
