Hellobee Boards

I'm a Costco member!

No but we have thought about it several times...we just don't know if it's worth it or not, since we have never really been to either.

Costco- we're there every 7-10 days. It's the best!!
@oliviaoblivia: which Costco do you go to? My sister just got a membership but said the one is Scarborough sucked to get to.

Costco! We go once a week. We like to buy our fruit there every week.

@prettylizy: she's right! When I go with DH we alternate between Scarborough and the yorkdale mall one. They sell different stuff so it depends on what we feel like. The Scarborough one has more Asian stuff and the yorkdale one has more Jewish stuff.

Sometimes DH will go to one by his office in Mississauga. It makes me nervous when he goes by himself though.....it's easy to spend $400 without realizing it.

We love Costco!

We used to belong to Costco, before we had kids. I'm not sure it was really worth it then; we lived in a small house and didn't necessarily have room to store three dozen paper towel rolls or four boxes of cereal that we weren't using.

Now that we are in a bigger house and have kids, I think it would be totally worth it. But now we hardly have time to go (and the thought of going with our two-year-old just sounds exhausting).

Nope. We don't really have the storage in our place to buy in bulk.

Love me some Costco! The only thing I hate about them is the parking at our Costco sucks something fierce. On any random week day you'd think the entire area was stocking up for the apocalypse.

Costco! Mostly for bottled water and soda.

We started with Sam's but switched to Costco and love it!

@mrbee: I know a lot of brooklynites who have a costco membership and cab it back home. There is a costco in Sunset Park right off the BQE

We're Sam's members through my work (family ministry). We don't use it personally very often... we totally should though!

We don't have a Costco membership, but my in-laws do and they always give us a heads up when they're going so we can tag along. We need to get our own membership so that I can buy and divide larger quantities of meat - our multiple grocery store trips are what kills our budget!

Obsessed with Costco! We go every week or every other week. One bad thing is that you can rarely walk out of there without spending $100+.

Does anyone have the Costo credit card that has cash back benefits? We keep holding off (not wanting another credit card), but considering how much we spend there, I'm wondering if it would be beneficial. Any thoughts??

Costco. We go 1-2 times a month. I love the huge bags of quinoa for like $8. And toilet paper, lol. We also buy our meat there, portion it out and freeze it. And canned goods I use a lot like black beans, chick peas and diced tomatoes. And milk, I drink a ton of milk.

@mrbee: We live in NYC and don't have a car, but we're still Costco members! There are two ways we go: we go to the one in East Harlem and take a cab back (they run a cab dispatch, it's VERY reasonably priced- I think the fare to Washington Heights is $14), or I go with work colleagues over lunch break (they drive) and schlep stuff home from there.

@mrbee: Also, depending where you are in Brooklyn, check how far the Costco in Long Island City is from you. Although that one is not ultra close to a subway stop for the trip there.

Unfortunately, Sam's.
Sam's is 5mins away and Costco is a 30 min drive. So, for us that was the reasoning.
I have been to Costco as a guest with some family members and it amazing in comparison to Sam's.
