I was told for the last 15 years to get a Costco membership to save on meats and shit. So I have one. I pay whatever it is a year just so I can get a $1.50 hot dog at lunch. There's no fucking way I'm dealing with the lines at Costco.


I've only spent money at Costco, I've never saved money.


Everything sold at Costco can be purchased at a grocery story individually. Unless you're provisioning a large camp, the store doesn't really make sense.

Don't forget about the COVID hoax and the empty stores. Keep your stock up. My grocery money goes about 80% to Costco and Sam's, and 20% to Walmart. I would say I save at least 3 grand a year by buying the same stuff I would have bought at Walmart in smaller, more expensive portions, plus gas is 40 cents cheaper than most other places in town.

Wait, why do you have memberships to both? I was under the impression Costco and Sam's were basically the same thing.

They are. We have both mostly for convenience; some cities only have one or the other, or they're on opposite sides of the city. I've found vacations and week long trips are a lot cheaper if we hit one of the wholesale clubs and spend $200 on the first day for various stuff for the week versus spending $30-100 per meal eating out every day or getting ripped off at the local grocery store for subpar stuff. Lots of Costcos and Sams have diesel pumps as well for when I'm working, and again they're 20-40 cents cheaper. A 20 cent difference in price per gallon for my work truck is $35 back to my pocket per fill up.
