It's worth it to me. Like someone else said, you have to watch what you buy. We buy toilet paper, paper towels, Kirkland (Costco's brand) dishwasher soap, Kirkland dishwashing soap (same as Dawn antibacterial), bath soap (bars), sometimes toothpaste if it's a kind we like, sometimes mouthwash, Prilosec (GREAT deal - can't get it cheaper anywhere else), paper plates, Pepsi/Dr. Pepper, Kirkland brand ibuprofen (two 500-tablet bottles for $8.99), Kirkland brand "Slim Fast" and we get our prescriptions there.
Good we may or may not buy there, depending what we need/how much we need/what they have. We LOVE their Panko-breaded shrimp. It's about $16 a box, is a heck of a lot of shrimp for that price, and is delicious! We get out our frydaddy and cook shrimp every once in a while. Their tortilla crusted tilapia is also good; we didn't like the other kind (can't remember what it was but didn't compare to the tortilla crusted). Some things I'm afraid to try because it comes in such a huge quantity that if we don't like it, we have wasted a lot of money.
Before Costco I was buying toilet paper at the store a couple of times a week and now that we buy the big package for I believe about $16-$17, it lasts a few weeks. Same with paper towels.
