thinking of getting a costco membership but not sure if its really worth it.... we have a  small apartment and household of 2.

basically they have cheaper contacts and i'm interested in their steak and beer/alcohol prices...

thereraise wants to eat their free samples....


are there any other deals to make me shop here?


we get most of our groceries at trader joes and a local farm to market store (Henry's)

 Yes, sigh.  The nice checkout lady seemed quite happy that I have spent over 10k there this year.

I like BJ's but I doubt we are talking about the same thing.

I do have a Costco membership tho.

say the following - "I'm just going to the pharmacy."  You don't need a membership to buy Rx meds.  Hellooooooooooo free sampledom.

 Some of their memberships have cash back as well so if you spend enough there you actually do get your membership paid back.  I bought a Vizio there and I think I get like 3% back on purchases so that paid for like a 1/3 of my membership.

 Yes, absolutely.  I fucking love that place.  You can definitely get that cash back thing like others mentioned and your membership will pay by itself.  It's the best for thigns that you use over and over again.  Things you are definitely going to use.  Only drawback is if you want to try something and you may not like it then you are stuck with bulk amount.

I got my 32 inch vizio flatscreen for my bedroom there for a great price when they ran a special on it.  When I was younger and fatter I would go just to hit up the lunch place, Cant beat 1.50 hot dog and free refill soda.  Pizza isnt bad either.

Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Texas and Vermont.

They all have laws from when prohibition ended that preclude businesses from requiring membership to buy alcohol.
