Do you buy items in bulk?

We don't, but lately we've been talking about getting a membership to Costco or somewhere. Everything is getting so expensive lately, so we might have to go to place like that. Do you have a membership to Costco, or a similar store?

When i first started shopping at costco and sams the prices scared me. But then went to a regular store and saw their price scared me even more. I see i could of had two for the price of one. I don't even go into regular stores anymore. Except if i can not find it at the club stores. Ten i buy several to be stocked up on that too. Im always well stocked on everything. You can freeze stuff too. The membership cost you save within the first couple months so its really worth it. My daughter and i share on the memberships together. They give out two cards but you have to use the same address. Single people say they do not buy this way because its not economical but it really is . Im single and wouldnt shop any other way.

Thanks for responding. I think it is more economical, too.

I don't have a membership to those stores because the membership is too much. I also don't go often enough to save- the lines are always long. I do shop there sometimes, my coworker as a membership so once in a while I tag along she goes. I pickup a few items but I prefer not to get a membership. I don't buy too much bulk because there is not enough people at home that will eat them.

Thanks for yout response. The membership to Costco is $50 per year. You can save money, but only if you buy a lot.

I don't usually buy things in bulk, but I have been thinking about it lately. I think that I will probably start doing that more now that the cost of everything seems to be going up. As long as we have enough space to store everything, I think it might be a good way to save a little bit of money, and it would also be convenient to always be really stocked up on things so that we wouldn't run out as quickly. The only problem for me is that I don't really like to be required to have a membership just to shop someplace. There is a place close to where I live where they sell things in bulk, and I think you actually don't have to have a membership there, so I might look into shopping there more often.

Sometimes i will buy in bulk, especially if it is on sale. If something is on sale and doesn't have an expiration date or I can freeze it, then I do buy extra.
