It's just me, but I have a Costco membership. I buy gas, stamps, chicken, meats, cheese (good idea to have a Food Saver), cat food, paper goods, vitamins, parchment paper, stretch wrap and cat litter. I think the quality of their meat is better than the grocery store.

They are WAY less expensive on vitamins than amazon or Puritans Pride.

I may buy frozen nuggets or chicken patties or Mac n cheese for my grandson.

it just depends on what you eat and how much space you have to store extras.

ETA: Kirkland dishwasher pods, laundry detergent are good too!

We don’t buy food at Sams because it’s just the three of us. We buy vitamins and toilet paper. I get twice the amount of probiotics for just a couple dollars more then a standard bottle.

Yup, we have a Costco business membership also. It's well worth the $$! I'm so overjoyed that they opened a brand new Costco a mere hour away! We'd have to travel 3 1/2 hours before. Love my Costco!!

Bj member here, the only thing I really buy in bulk is dog food, theirbrand dishwasher pacs and laundry pods. I find these to be less price than other stores. I don’t buy food there, unless a holiday . I split membership cost w my mom, it’s worth it , but again u have to know costs .

I belong to all 3 warehouses LOL.

Costco is across the street from me & I got my computer there, my gym membership, & regular purchases like dog treats, dry dog food, coffee, yogurt, granola, salmon, beer, snack foods, dental floss, etc.

At Sam's I prefer their rotisserie chicken, canned dog food, dog treats, boxed wine, produce, baked goods, etc.

I get gas at both, but mostly Costco since it's closer.

Sam's Plus gives free shipping, as well as Costco. Sometimes if something isn't at the store I get it shipped for free. A few months ago my dogs got sprayed by a skunk & I had to get new beds for them so I ordered them from Sam's, they are really nice!

When Metamucil was on sale at Costco the store didn't have the sugarfree in stock so I got it online.

My sister & I live on the west coast & we split a BJ's membership because there is one close by to where our Dad lives on the east coast. He is 93 & we visit him a couple times a year & we like to shop there. We have bought him clothes, Crocs, even a bathing suit...he takes a water exercise class 4 times a week at his retirement community. We also like to stock him up with big cans of his favorite Chock Full O' Nuts coffee & other stuff like dishwasher soap tablets, paper towels & toilet paper before we leave.

I forgot about batteries and gas.

Only 2 of us here. We only have BJs around here. I usually only do a trial membership but recently went for a year at $25. I really like their chicken breast and tenders they're packaged nicely ready to go in the freezer and are the exact size to take out for a meal . If I want a rib roast or something their meats are good. Paper products are good deals and Venus razor refill packs. When they have nice looking seafood i'll buy. I always find something in the clothing dept.! and the gas prices are great and gas for the grill. the one I go to discontinued the in-store jewelry counter but they still sell jewelry.

I wish we had BJ's or Costco in our area, but we only have Sam's.

We've been members for over 20 years. We buy mostly frozen fish and vegetables. We used to buy their pizza shells to make homemade pizza but they stopped carrying them. Once in awhile we pick something up in their bakery department. We always get our gas there; it's only about 5 cents cheaper than everyone else, but every little bit helps. That's really the main reason we first joined.

Is it worth paying for membership? I guess it depends on what you're buying and how much you're buying. In our case, I'd say that we're probably coming out a little bit ahead after you factor in the cost of membership.
