| - I'm definitely a Costco fan. It's really great for the stuff you actually need in bulk (TP, paper towels, shampoo, snacks, etc). However, you have to watch yourself in two ways: one, you have to ask yourself if you really need 10 pounds of lasagna, if you can actually use 2 gallons of milk before they expire, if you're still going to love pretzels after eating half of a 5 pound bag. And two, you have to watch the prices! For example, we needed garlic bread. Since we were already at Costco, we went to go grab some. 3 loaves for 8.99. At Walmart, you can buy 1 loaf for about 2 dollars. In this case, Costco was very overpriced!
Boyfriend really likes their button-down dress shirts. And the discount on gas is awesome.
Just make sure you go in knowing what you really need, how much fridge/freezer/storage space you truly have and the general prices of items when bought at other stores. Don't expect to get out of Costco spending a normal amount of money. Also, if you're trying to prevent your ass from looking like a golfball, do not eat from the food court. Sooo many calories.
Oh and one more tip! They accept Visa, MC and Amex, but not Discover.
