We go once a month or so and since it's just the two of us and an infant. We buy lots of dried goods, produce, some frozen stuff and some of the other random stuff like batteries and vitamins. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604814 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:57:03 +0000 chopsuey 1604814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we do, but it needs to be renewed! haven't been in over a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604812 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:56:34 +0000 autumnlove 1604812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we go 2-3 times a month. I &lt;3 Costco....it is about 15 minutes away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604801 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:53:06 +0000 mrs. wagon 1604801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and we got the Costco Amex this year, that's how much we use it. We go at least once a week (milk, eggs, fruit, a rotisserie chicken). It used to be 2 mins away, now it's 15 mins away, but still on the way home (right near daycare) so it's an easy trip for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604702 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:22:21 +0000 looch 1604702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: yup! My parents regularly give Costco giftcards for holidays and that's how it works! You don't need the membership if you have a gift card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604670 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:07:57 +0000 Foodnerd81 1604670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We let ours expire bc we weren't going often enough to make it worth it, but bil has a membership and I ask him to pick certain things up for me, particularly the Kirkland wipes. They also usually have the Olay face lotions that I use. </p> <p>@looch: wait, what?! So f bil bought me, say a $200 gift card, I can go and use it without being a member? Sometimes Dh will go with bil and do shopping but it involves coordinating, him paying cash... A gc and me and C going on a weekday would be way easier (and I could easily pay bil for the "gift" of course). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604643 Thu, 01 May 2014 09:00:10 +0000 snowjewelz 1604643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SIL shares her Sams Club membership with us so we don't have a Costco one. Plus, it's just the two of us right now and I love Target too much haha. I def foresee us having a Costco membership down the road! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604607 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:49:29 +0000 bookwormmama 1604607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup...Costco is like 5 minutes from our house so we go whenever we need to. DH buys his eggs there (eats them every morning) and we buy fruit and salad stuff there. Sometimes we buy snacks and cereal (if we are eating it at that time). </p> <p>We buy lots of non-food items too. We buy our animals' food there, toilet paper/paper towels, other household items. They also sell gift cards to our favorite chain restaurant for a 20% discount. We always buy gift cards before going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604587 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:44:29 +0000 sheskrafty 1604587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yes! My Costco addiction has completely overtaken my Target addiction. </p> <p>We go twice a month, which is more than I expected to when we got our membership. We buy diapers and now I try to buy as many groceries as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604581 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:42:27 +0000 pui 1604581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we do. We go relatively often, like every 2 weeks or so. I think it's totally worth it. There are definitely good deals to be had there, and we buy a lot of non-perishables in bulk and store them in our basement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604561 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:38:44 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1604561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go at least once a month, sometimes twice a month. We get all our paper products there, aluminum foil, soda, orange juice, pretty much all our meats (chicken, cubed beef, ground beef, sausage), personal hygiene products like deodorant, toothpaste, razors, sunscreen, bug spray, coffee, dog food, certain fresh veggies. </p> <p>We also like to browse the non-food sections for furniture, toys, household goods that are good deals to get. For example, we bought our memory foam mattress topper there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604530 Thu, 01 May 2014 08:31:48 +0000 swurlygurl 1604530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Can you even believe how money was saved on buying formula from Costco!!</p> <p>We go every week. Our weekly purchases are: bananas, lettuce, tomatoes, milk, bread.</p> <p>We buying ~ monthly: ground turkey, frozen chicken breasts, shredded cheese, tortillas, carrots, frozen kale, frozen peas, frozen corn, frozen green beans.</p> <p>We buy less often: coffee beans, toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent</p> <p>I'm sure I'm missing tons. We don't have to go to Target/Wal Mart anymore, and I only go to the grocery store once a month to get things that are cheaper there (some veggies, some fruit, all canned goods, pasta, pasta sauce, dried beans, lunch meat, sliced cheese, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604344 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:51:35 +0000 charmed 1604344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have one near us, but if we did I think I would use it quite a bit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604334 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:46:39 +0000 looch 1604334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but I'll be honest, we don't use it that frequently. We tend to buy large items, like our outdoor set, cantilever umbrella, full sized bed, safe, etc.</p> <p>Just as an FYI, you can shop there without a membership if someone buys you a gift card. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604307 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:31:16 +0000 Ra 1604307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! The savings in formula alone makes it worth it for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604301 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:28:19 +0000 mrs. bird 1604301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do, but we don't go often because it's far. They have great prices on meds if you're paying OOP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604259 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:11:51 +0000 Weagle 1604259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I go once or twice a month now. Would go more if we had an extra freezer. We buy paper goods, toiletries, gas, wine and beer... A ton of stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604257 Thu, 01 May 2014 07:11:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1604257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: This is us too with the Amex rewards. We get almost $200 back each year and we use that money to stock up on almost a years worth of paper goods and stuff like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604230 Thu, 01 May 2014 06:55:42 +0000 Smurfette 1604230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!! We go probably once a month. More when R was on formula. I would buy more but we don't have a ton of space in the freezer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604227 Thu, 01 May 2014 06:54:17 +0000 Mamaof2 1604227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We go to BJs and we get a discount on the membership thru work.</p> <p>Its great for gas - right now they are 12 cents cheaper than other places!</p> <p>I get vitamins, chicken, meatballs, bread, milk, eggs, yogurt and paper products.</p> <p>After combining a manufacturer coupon with a BJs coupon I can get great deals!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604040 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 23:45:03 +0000 Crystal 1604040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! And we have a SAMs club membership thanks to my mil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604035 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 23:18:47 +0000 sunny 1604035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Costco is 2 miles away so we go weekly. We buy gas, fruit, organic chicken/beef, diapers, wipes, beer/wine, some prepared foods and paper products and tons of other stuff. </p> <p>We looooooooove Costco! We save SO much on gas it makes it so worthwhile. We fill up 3x a month and I save ~$5/fill up and DH saves ~$3.50 so after 2 months we've saved enough to pay for our membership fees. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604021 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:48:16 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1604021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We can't live without ours. We go 2-3x/month. We buy coconut oil, proteins, bread, milk, eggs, paper towels, toilet paper, Saran Wrap, coffee beans, dumplings, meatballs, chicken nuggets, berries and bananas, onions, garlic, energy drinks and soda, diapers and wipes, diaper genie refills, body lotion... Yea pretty much everything there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604019 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:47:33 +0000 pinkcupcake 1604019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES. We have a Costco like 5 minutes away. I go *at least* twice a week. Sometimes more :) </p> <p>Love, love, love Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1604008 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:32:44 +0000 Mrs. Train 1604008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep we do. I buy almost everything from there. If I am on my A game I plan the whole month and go once with several grocery store stops during the month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1603999 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:21:46 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1603999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a Sam's Club membership. I got about once a month. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1603998 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:21:44 +0000 LAZB 1603998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and we go pretty frequently. I get most of my gas there, as well as dog food, organic chicken breasts, veggies, beer/wine, and lots if other stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1603993 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:19:52 +0000 Giraffe 1603993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We usually go every two weeks. They have really good deals on coffee beans, cheese, organic tortilla chips and salsa, various organic canned and frozen goods, maple syrup, quinoa, cereal, pasta, beer... I feel like this is such a random list, but there's lots of good stuff! Plus the one near us always seems to have cute baby/toddler clothes (mostly Carter's, but also sometimes Hanna Andersen, Little Me, Levi's jeans, etc.) for way less than other places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1603978 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:13:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 1603978@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, we let our membership expire. The nearest one is like half an hour away and we really don't have the space to buy in bulk right now. Maybe when we move closer/get a bigger place we'll get it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-costco-membership#post-1603976 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 22:11:30 +0000 HLK208 1603976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I go every other Friday! </p>
