    Costco is great… But not everything works best when bought in bulk, and not everything freezes well. Eggs for instance, most people probably aren’t going to go through 72 eggs in a reasonable timeframe. But it’s great for shelf stable items and things you use a lot of.

    Yes it is cheaper per unit because you’re buying a larger quantity, but nearly every item is going to be $20+. This also assumes that you can afford the membership cost and the up front budget to be able to start to build that bulk stock, and that you have room for holding that bulk stock at home,

    These are things that many people take for granted with so many more people living paycheck to paycheck now with increases in so many other costs now as well.
