Just wondering how severe my Costco addiction is
Just wondering how severe my Costco addiction is
Weekend shopping at Costco should come with combat pay. We go once or twice a month and try to go during the week!
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’m the same. I go through a dozen or so eggs a week, along with lots of rice and beans. These are all things I’ll only really buy at Costco anymore.
Eggs, avocados, bananas, and berries are probably what I buy every week. The other stuff is more sporadic.
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.
They have this nice gyro kit we like to have for date nights. Varies between weekly and every other weekly
About once a month. Used to time it with filling up the gas tank but now it's just when we're low on at least 3 bulk things.
Not sure if twice a week or every other week. 🤔
Usually I can tell based on context but this could go either way.
I haven't been in a while, but I was literally just thinking about how much I miss their take and bake pizzas
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.
I drive 2.5 hours once a month to go to Costco. I buy in bulk everything I need for a month, most of this is either frozen or I will freeze it later.
At first this was difficult to achieve and expensive. However you don’t run through everything in a 30 day period of time. So as I continued to do this, the amount I need to purchase has gone down significantly each trip and now I’m only replacing what I need. Sometimes coffee, sometimes a big bag of rice, etc.
The only staple items I don’t buy in bulk is bread and milk. I don’t eat a lot of bread and prefer wraps that stay fresh for ages longer than bread. Especially in the refrigerator. Milk I only use in my coffee so it’s a minimal expense.
Yes, I save a ton of money even when you factor in higher gas prices. I also love only shopping once a month.
If it is mostly frozen or will be frozen (fresh) how many coolers do you bring on a trip like that?
Costco frozen things are big to begin with!
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.
Several times a month, haha. We live really close to a Costco (7-10 mins drive!) so we just pop over for only a couple things. The addiction is real.
Okay Costco market analytics team. Surely you could just look up the receipt entries... Oh the most be a genuine question!
Every 2 weeks for gas and a pizza/chicken+hotdog, once a month as a major trip for frozen lunches and fresh fruits.
We're about to get a Costco immediately next door to my place of business. I'm going to make myself sick on hotdogs.
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)
