My Costco is a less busy one. Also, weekends have the best samples. My family treats it more as fun outing, so we aren't usually trying to rush through anyway.
I go almost every other weekend or more if needed. Since I do majority of my shopping there, the executive membership pays for itself and the Citi card cash back is a plus.
We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don't do it that often. They have a few things that we just won't do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.
2-3 times a month, sometimes more. I don't usually get gas there though, because the lines are always long and there are a couple gas stations near me that sell as cheap or cheaper, especially for the e15/unleaded 88 vs Costco's regular unleaded 87.
2-4 times a month. It’s the closest grocery store to my house and has 80% of what I regularly buy. Definitely saves money on things like potato chips and I like that there’s consistent prices on things like drinks. When I go to regular stores I have no idea if a 2 liter bottle is $2, 3, $4 that week based on what sale they’re having or not.
Costco should include statistics on the annual renewal letter. Things like trips per month, most frequent purchase, average spent never mind I don't want to know that.
Usually a couple times a month for regular shopping. I live really close to my warehouse though, so I'll drop in fairly often and grab a slice of pizza when I don't feel like cooking, and I only get gas at Costco anymore, so it's technically a fair bit more than that.
About every 6 weeks to stock up an meat pantry and household items. I drop 400 to 600 on a trip. In between I get produce at other stores so I can keep it fresh (I don't need half a bushel of lettuce that goes bad in 3 days)
My nearest one is 60 miles away, so I don't go too often anymore.
I ended up in an odd situation.
My next door neighbor, who is 83, works at USDA food giveaways.
So when they aren't able to give away everything he gives a lot of it to me. So I've been working on making recipes from the excess and giving it back to him.
It would be nice to get to Costco for other stuff.
