We don't have a Costco near us, but DS does where he lives. He wants to join, but quite honestly, after rent and utilities, he doesn't have a lot of extra money. 

Are there any discounts for joining? He does have AAA. TIA!

@beach-mom. Suggest either you or ds check the Costco website. They would certainly describe any available discounts more accurately than anyone here could.

@beach-mom   I am a BJ member.  They do have discounts.  Currently new members - $25/yr

Expires end of January. 

The discount started 11/23.

If there is a BJ's near him, he may want to check it out.

I don't get it, so if he doesn't have a lot of extra money after rent etc, why would he want to buy mega size packs of things and tie up what little extra money he has on inventory sitting on his shelves. Even more so as a single person....if he is single (kinda sounded like he is).  No disrespect intended.😊

We just renewed our Costco membership and DH checked on any discounts, etc. They did not have any, but you may your DS may want to visit the warehouse closest to her. We have the executive membership because we get cash back.

@beach-mom There are currently several promos running on Groupon that look VERY promising where he can get 40 or 20 dollar shop cards depending on which membership level he signs up for.😊 I hope he finds one that best suits his needs because the OVERALL savings are worth it.🤞🤞

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SaveTheTurtles not everything in Costco is sold in mega size packages.  Toilet paper, yes.  Some stuff is sold in larger than what you get in the grocery store packages, but even if I were single, I would appreciate having the larger packaging.  There's also discounts on single purchase items like electronics, tires, clothing items, etc.  

However, I would agree with you that it might not be the best purchase for someone who is cash-strapped.

Thanks @Kachina624- I'll tell him tomorrow when I talk to him.

@Mz iMac - We belong to BJ's too! Sadly there are NONE in his state.

@SaveTheTurtles - No problem! He is young and single, and he needs tires. One of his coworkers recommended Costco. He grew up going to BJ's.  

Thanks everyone for your help!

Well, now that you mention tires...it makes perfect sense to me!
