What products and items do you think you're really getting your money's worth for? Or what are your typical things you buy?
For me I switched to the Costco brand Litter Purrrfect kitty litter which is 35lbs of all natural really good quality and the best I've ever had rounding out to $9!
My typical buys are:
Pantene shampoo & conditioner in jumbo pumps
Mouthwash
Smart balance butter
Frozen fruits
Greek yogurt
Ready meals like hot pockets or appetizers
Body wash pumps
Lots of produce for juicing
And toilet paper

Also Costco has EOS lipbalm packs of 5 for 11-14$ haven't gotten those yet

We shop at Costco a lot - especially their lower priced gas. Add to the low price that we get a 3% year-end rebate on gas purchases and 1% on all other buys.

We're going later this morning to get everything we need for a party of 20+ people.

We love COSTCO, because it is the one retailer who stands for the most part 100% behind what they sell. 98% of the item's sold by COSTCO have a no return limitation. That means you can buy a piece of furniture or a vacuum cleaner, and return it for a full refund, no matter why or how long you've had it. The only exception is alcohol and some other item's for reason of law, and certain electronics. Even the exception of electronics is liberal with regard to returns. COSTCO allows you 90 days for returns, and they extend the manufactures warranty by doubling it.

Most all item's which use the Kirkland COSTCO brand are of the highest quality. For that reason, we will gravitate towards that brand when looking for a product within it's catagory.

This. I love Costco. I've been really happy with the quality of their branded products, and in the few cases where I've returned something, they've been very nice about giving my money back. That's how to do business!

We do share a Costco membership with my parents but I'm not a huge fan of Costco (except for the free samples). Looking at the unit prices, my local grocery store is actually cheaper so I just stock up when I do my everyday grocery shopping. Costco is only good for a few things.

I've been shopping at Costco (and the long gone Price Club) for over three decades. I buy most of my vitamins and allergy medicines there. And of course I cannot live without the huge 18" plastic wrap and bulk Reynolds foils they carry.

Oh I'm not a member either, my parents are so I tag along with them. If you've got a family member or friend you can go in too. And pay with your own credit card (:

I live buy myself, so I don't think it's really practical to shop in bulk, but once in awhile I ask my parents to grab me something from costco
