We had a trial membership for a bit, but didn't see a lot of savings when comparing grocery bills from Costco to wegmans. I have found that milk and meat (both organic) are cheaper at wegmans.
We do go to Costco for gas - the one closest to me doesn't require membership for gas. Easily 20-30 cents per gallon less for premium.
Costco is probably the biggest cause of waste in food.
People buy in bulk and end up throwing most of it away.
I don't buy food from Costco except hummus packets.
Sell INSIDE.Heard this too but only 2 clubs in jersey can sell alcohol Iirc...Edison and Middletown?

Never knew about the numbers on the products, so that's helpful. But any specific items that people are regularly purchasing?
But the Kirkland towels are just as good or even better....for comparison
Bounty 12 pack double rolls
BJs - 1.47 cents a sheet
Costco - 1.51 cents a sheet
Walmart - didn't say how many sheets but has the same price a ft as Costco
Shoprite only had smaller sizes (6 pack) but was 2.1 cents a sheet
True but not a popular opinion in this thread.
Thx for the hummus packet tout. Great car food w bread or crackers. Adding it to my buy list.
well the bad news is that I don't live near Wayne, or Edison, or Brick. The good news is I don't live close to them so my liver will last a bit longer. I would drink K. Vodka like water.Wayne Costco has booze. Imported Kirkland vodka is reportedly made in the same factory as Grey Goose. Some think the domestic Kirkland vodka is Tito's. Either way, both are really good at less than half the cost for a handle.
Costcos model is to make their money via selling memberships and work on a 5ish % margin.
That Ritz box is another club project I worked on. Funny story. We spent MONTHS coming up with the right configuration. A price-value vs. Sams and Retail and they ordered like 2500 pallets first run.2 adults, 2 kids:
Costco brand toilet paper, paper towels, tissues
Rotisserie chicken
Salmon (fresh)
Hummus cups for school and travel
Craisins (when on sale)
Nuts (pecans, walnuts)
Ritz (when on sale)
Raspberries
3 lb bag of broccoli
Goldfish
Annie’s fruit snacks
Nature Valley protein granola bars
Spray oil
Big jars of skippy (when on sale)
Marcona almonds
Kirkland low sodium bacon (when under $14)
Egg whites
2 pack of country bread from the bakery
I can do better at the grocery store on cereal, lettuce mix and health and beauty stuff.

It sucks anyone can get gas at Costco in New Jersey at the discount price and we pay an annual Costco membership fee. When we travel to other states and get gas they always ask for our Costco membership card and they verify it is active. Must be a NJ law where you can’t require memberships for discounted gas prices.
Right now it looks like milk is the same price between Costco (Bridgewater/Flemington) and Wegmans (Bridgewater). $2.99 for a gallon of 1%... which is a dollar cheaper than the $3.99/gal at ShopRite in Hillsborough. The price has definitely gone up over the last couple years or so... I remember it being $2.49/gal a while back.
I spoke to a couple of distant cousins at a party last year who were from Wisconsin, and they almost fell off their chair when I told them how much we pay for milk out here.
Never had a Cosco membership, didn’t think it was worth the membership dues when you can get items on sale elsewhere. As for the chickens Walmart and Shoprite have roasted chickens for about the same price. That said, my mother had a membership and she always picked me up a 3lb can of Kirkland Colombian coffee for like 8 bucks. Great coffee. Walmart great value Colombian in the foil bag is pretty damn close though

Those are apparently not quite the same quality as when they first came out. New factory and formula.Kirkland Signature 3 Pc Urethane Golf Balls 24pk
Just some stuff I've learned:-24 count cage free eggs $3.59ish .

Down in MD we have been paying $2.19/2.29 (as low as $2.09) for 1% milk (non-organic) at Wegmans for about 4-5 years now. Not sure why they've kept the price down so low but they seem to be treating milk as a loss leader. Other grocery stores in town (Safeway, Giant) have had 1% milk priced anywhere from $3.49 to $3.99 over the same horizon.

Except the Costco chicken is an enormous bird at most being 5 1/2lbs, while most grocery store rotisserie chickens are around 3lbs.

Just some stuff I've learned:
Cage free eggs are not any healthier for you or more humane. I bet those eggs are brown as well. They've done studies, people associate brown eggs as being healthier for you as opposed to white. Guess what, that's just a certain breed of chicken which lays brown eggs has nothing to do with how they're raised.
Cage free or Free Range simply means they cut a hole in the barn and give them a 10' x 10' area outside for about 40,000 chickens. However those 40,000 chickens never go outside since they're food driven and just stay where the food is.
There's also a reason farmers like to cage chickens as it keeps them separated. Chickens will peck each other and basically bully for a pecking order. Having them free to do this in a confined area they will eventually kill some or even worse the weak one's become sick and it spreads. Chickens are carnivores so they eat the dead chicken.
I'll give you a trick on figuring out if your eggs truly are free range. The yolks. If the yolk is orange they're eating a lot of protein(bugs) and grasses. Now there is a way some companies fool you on this, they feed them Marigolds. However, you can dispel this by cooking scrambled eggs, the eggs will turn out firmer than non-Free Range.I had some of thos eggs this afternoon and followed up with said dead chicken tonight with Yoshita teriyaki sauce.
I stopped right after you lost the bet about them being brown. They are white.Just some stuff I've learned:
