Costco saves me SO MUCH!!!
About the fruits and veggies, at least in Brooklyn: They are SO FRESH they seem to last forever. I"m talking about two weeks for lettuce! Even longer for clementines! I was nervous about some of the quantities at first, but that 10lb bag of carrots is almost gone, and the still are fresher than what I used to get at Shoprite, or 3 Guys.
Like anywhere else, you obviously need to go with a list....
Also, the first time we went we didn't get much, we spent an hour or so just walking every inch of the store.
Oh, one other thing we got there was tires! About HALF the price of the same tires other places. That, alone, was worth a whole lot more than the membership fee (and it even includes balancing and monthly nitrogen top offs)

I now go with 2 lists - what I need and what I definitely don't need.

We buy paper towels, toilet paper, tissues, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, sanitary supplies, foil pans, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, toothpaste, shampoo, cetaphil, bottled water, PAM, cereal, granola bars, oatmeal, dried fruit, nuts...

I've bought a lot of DD's clothing there, including play outfits, pajamas, dresses, bathing suits, dresses, and jackets. DH has bought some shirts.

I got prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses there on sale.

Kirkland (Costco brand) baby wipes are great.

Did any of you ever try BJ's ?
How does it compare?

thanks

My family likes the kirkland frozen salmon. You cannot find that quality salmon anywhere else. (It's not a cheap food, but in my case, the kids like it even better than fresh salmon.)

We buy 80% of our household shopping at cosco- we have the premium membership and actually get our membership cost and a little extra $ at the end of the year. I noticed a lot of people say that the produce is fresh. We still buy our produce at cosco but the produce always goes bad quickly in our household (we live in Boston)-we thought it was our fridge but we bought a new one and it is still happening...
