We have belonged to Costco for at least twenty years. It used to be that we could get in and out for under one hundred dollars. Then came the kids and we were spending about eight hundred dollars a month! Most of that was going to pre-made meals and pre-packaged snacks. I put an end to frivolous purchase three years ago when my son started going to a private high school. I packaged the snacks and made three meals in advance every Sunday so that all we had to do during the week was pop my dish in the oven for twenty five minutes. Leftovers would cover lunches. I cut our eight hundred dollar expense, at Costco, down to about four hundred dollars a month. We have an executive card that gives us cash back on our purchases which usually covers our membership and puts about thirty dollars a year into out bank account.

I'm a BJ's member but the only think I shop there for is cheese and gas.  There's only two of us in the house so I don't need a 5 pound jar of mayo and most other bulk items.

I shop Sams. I have shopped BJ's in the past but we get a deal on Sams membership fees. The prices on coffee, personal care and a few other items are very good.

I belong to BJ's.  We also gave a Sam's but they don't accept manufacturers coupons and BJ's does.

We only have a Sam's in our area.  We buy most of our gasoline there and pick up a few things in the store each month. Our 9 y.o. daughter likes to use the free-osk where you can get a free sample of various items if you scan your membership card.  Earlier this summer we bought a dual grill there for under $200.  It has a propane side and a charcoal/smoker side.  We haven't used the smoker at all yet this year, but plan to do some ribs on it before it gets packed away when the cold weather hits.

My son is a salesman and gets an Executive Costco membership from his boss, so he gives one of the two cards he gets to us. We both go as couples, so one card is fine. Whatever we buy goes toward his annual bonus, so we both win.

I shop at Sam's, but I've found that some of their items aren't cheaper than a regular grocery store.

We love the freshly cooked rotisserie chickens at BJ's and Costco but we live close enough to both stores to be able to shop at both. We find there are certain things that are better buys at Costco and other things that are better buys at BJ's, so it's nice to be able to get to both.

No we don't - we tried it at Sam's but because it was 30 minutes plus away we wasted the cost of the membership.  We seldom got around to going over there and weren't even sure it was a better deal compared to bogo offers at Publix and food on sale locally without spending the time and gas to go all the way over to another town.

No, because they sell in bulk which I don't need.
