Gasoline is also cheaper at Costco.

I saw a link (clickbait) saying that although it's cheaper at Costco, gas stations nearby are probably within a penny or two. Filling up a 15 gallon tank might cost as much as 30¢ more, but you won't spend as much time in line.

Jeez, @George-K

In a pinch, you can put a baby in the diaper box too so the baby won't roll too far from where you left the baby.

You need to stop storing your babies on hills. Babies should be stored on flat ground, it's standard practice.

Between Kroger and Meijer rewards, I always get $1 off per gallon when I fill up. Costco can't beat that.

Retailers around here have adjusted their prices and offerings to compete with Costco. I used to buy berries - I eat a lot of them - at Costco. Now they're cheaper elsewhere.

With 2.5 of us here and no extra freezer I don’t think it would be worth it. The only non-perishables I’d buy in bulk are paper products, and you can do ok waiting for the sales at stop and shop and stocking up then.

You overlooked the fact that babies can rollover on their own when rested on flat ground.

I used to use Cholula then I discovered Yucatan Sunshine.

I think it’s the carrots that sets it apart.

[Renauda]

Possibly. Don’t know other than of all the many hot sauces I have tried, I like it best.

We’ve dialed it in over the years - we only buy a specific set of items now: eggs, milk, oil, TP, coffee, Parmesan cheese, etc.

90% of our basket is the same stuff. We’ve learned what we consistently use and what piles up in the pantry. We don’t experiment there anymore.

Tried it this morning, yes it's a level above the other stuff. Just enough heat (not much, but enough) and a bit better flavor.

A freezer is your friend. Allows you to stock up on loss leaders or a place to store the MIL until disposal.

BTW, at Sam's this morning (wish we had a Costco. 32lb bag of cat food and a rose plant.
