I'm not a member. Is it still worth it for people who don't buy in bulk and who don't even have the storage for bulk goods? What does everyone think?

It depends on the products you like and use, and you probably won't know until you go there. They have terrific produce and meats and prepared foods, that, depending on your household, could be a week's or a month's supply. Same with beauty/health products, snacks, beverages, vitamins and supplements, etc. You can also share a membership with friends.

I go to the supermarket once or twice a week for food and to the drug store for everything else. Is the savings at Costco only for those who buy in bulk? Also, if I share a membership -- this deal gives 2 cards, yes? -- is one person ever liable for the other person's bill in any way?

The savings is largely on bulk purchases, yes. Just because that's what they mostly sell. You might be able to take advantage in certain categories though..."bulk" means different things. But if you share a membership, every time you go, you have to pay for your purchases that day (just like at the supermarket!) So there's no way you'd ever be held responsible for anyone else's purchases. I am in a household of 2 people, and we save tons. We do have pantry and freezer and storage space to make it work, though. We save enough on paper towels and organic bacon in a year to pay for our membership, but we go through a lot of those So the savings on everything else is just gravy!

You may want to look on their website for items that may be of interest.

The stores carry many products that on not on website also.

I've been a member of Costco for 22 yrs and only shop for myself. I go there around every 6 weeks --- since it's 12 minutes from my home. I have also bought lots of items from their website, which appears on my computer daily.

Last week I bought a 24" Samsung tv for $135.for my bedroom. on-line

2-1/2 yrs ago, I bought a 40" Samsung tv for my family room for $300. on-line

All their big and small appliances come with a 2-yr warranty------and for many of the electronic products, they offer Fair Trade Warranty for an add'l 3 yrs - for a few dollars.

Every few weeks, their sale items come up on my computer and I order many of them, ie, 4 pack of toothpaste, anti-fatigue mat for my kitchen, Puma or Addidas socks, bags of coffee beans, 3/4 sleeve t-shirts, etc.

If u know someone who is also interested, they give 2 cards - and u could split the cost.

Just using those great coupons --- u save much more than the membership fee.

They have the best rotisserie chickens - being made on the premises - only $5.

Also great pharmacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easiest return policy

etc.

Most with free shipping - and quick arrival.

Every month, I receive their booklet of great coupons

@judy0330, our membership expired in April, as of this date, we have yet to renew, plus my husband and I both misplaced our cards, do you think we would qualify? Thanks!

Thanks for the info, just signed up. I went there to get my membership card and picture taken.

The $20.00 gift card, flavored water, papertowel and pizza coupons are mailed and should arrive in 4-6 weeks per member services. What a great deal

It's my first time in a costco and it's a huge store with good prices!!

I don't think everything at Costco is that bulky that it requires lots of storage space. If you're limited you just have to choose wisely. I think a membership is worth the price just for electronics items. They have extended warranties and concierge help service.

It's also worth it for the food court, and some good clothing items. It's just a great place to shop. Yes there are lines and it can be crazy busy. But the people who work there are treated well, so they treat the customers well.

I get Groupon emails and today they had a discount code. I don't know if it can be applied to the Costco membership.

You get 2 cards but the other person needs to live with you. Last year after my husband passed away I wanted to transfer his membership to my son but since my son doesn't live with me they wouldn't do it.

I have used their discount codes for a Sam's Club membership in the past. Hopefully the discount code would be applied for a Costco membership also.
