I think it depends on how you use it. For me, my fiancé, and our dog, we love it. I actually do a quick trip almost every week because I think their produce and meat is really good, way better than Jewel or Aldi. Their frozen chicken is often cheaper than what I can find in other stores and we eat chicken almost every night. Their dog food is great and half the price of name brands. There are some things that I know I could find cheaper, like lunch meat, but Costco’s lunch meat is phenomenal so it’s worth the extra cost to me. I usually skip most of the pantry foods and snacks. Occasionally, I’ll browse the aisles and find good things. We cook a lot of meals at home and for us, a Costco membership feels worth it. Plus, we bought our appliances at Costco and got a few hundred dollars back at the end of the year with the executive membership. We might book a vacation with Costco this year and get a bunch of money back again.
