We go to Costco once a week. We buy fruit every week and other items vary from week to week.

I have never been there. Do you think it really saves money? I've been tossing around the idea of becoming a member.

I try and keep it to every 2-3 weeks, otherwise we spend too much money!

Sometimes it seems like we go every single week, which is not good for my bank account. I like to do one big purchase once a month.

We go probably once a month. I don't think we could afford to go more than that! hahahah we always spend waaaay to much when we go there. Granted we always get great deals....but I just over buy

Maybe once every other week for fruit mainly. I just get in and out as quick as I can!

normally about once a month but we went once a week two weeks in a row and I think I prefered that. Not sure DH's preference though.

I wouldn't say that Costco SAVES money, but it's also way more awesome than many grocery stores. I've never bought anything there that wasn't good quality and/or delicious

About twice a month. I hate how much we spend there, but they carry things that otherwise we can't get, so we deal!

We used to go 2-3 times a year, but haven't gone in over a year. I want to start going back to stock up on basics (toilet paper, canned foods, etc.)

Once a month or every other month sounds about right. Depends on how quickly we go through our bulk items.

I go about once a week, but I don't spend a ton every visit.
We use it stock up on basics - canned goods, granola bars, soda and meat - and then I get some of fruits and lunch meats and such there. I'm pretty sure it does save us money, but my food allergies mean I'm immune to many of the impulse snack buys. I think it's a pretty good deal for bulk frozen or canned goods.

I think we're there 3 times a month, it was more when LO was drinking formula.
@Bao you still have to check prices, some things are higher some are a lot lower. Some meat is higher than most grocery stores, but better quality. I buy our paper towels there and they last so much longer, I ran out and had to buy them at the grocery store before I made it back to costco and the quality was awful (they weren't off brand either!)

About twice a month. If we are being frugal it's more like every six weeks for toilet paper, paper towels, frozen chicken and bottled water, that's about it. If we are in a spending mood, we walk out of there paying what we do for our mortgage, it gets baaaad.

We go 1-2 times a month. I hate how every time we're in there it costs $400. Last time we were out for $150 and I felt like I had won the lottery!

I can not wait to go to Costco! I miss random bulk shopping and finding some awesome deals. Last time we were in the States, I found a pack of leather gardening gloves for DH that's so well-made, he's still on his first pair!

We just joined but we will be going on a very regular basis (1/week?) because their gas is the cheapest.
