Default Re: What do you buy at Costco?

I will add that you need to be able to resist the desire to impulse buy,buy, buy. I also have 'trained' myself not to buy prepapred foods. I don't even look anymore. I know that's hard for some people. Also I know where to buy things like flour, rice, sugar and such that are less expensive at other places and I try and only go a few times a year, but I can buy alot on those trips. However it may be over a year before I buy those items again.

Just know that
1.) you are getting a good price
2.) the item is a REAL need - if you didn't buy it here you'd buy somewhere else and
3.) you will not 'use' more of it because you have more of it - that eats up any savings.
4.) you will use it before it goes bad if applicable
