How often do you shop at Costco?

[Sheree Bobbins]

I enjoy the free samples but tend not to go to Costco very often. I would say I go once in 2 months. Once, I bought some bakery items but they weren't that fresh so I was a bit disillusioned. I definitely go Christmas shopping there, first.

We go at least twice a month. We have a big deep freeze and load up on chicken and salmon. As well as their kirkland coffee.

Oh man we go at least once a week around here. With the kids home from school all they do is eat and my 10 yr old ds is getting into the "hollow leg" syndrome where he eats constantly and is always hungry! We have an extra fridge, freezer so I buy a ton of meat and freeze it. Since we are on Southbeach around here we eat a TON of meat and protein along with fresh vegetables and not many carbs so we go through a lot of food. I rarely go to the grocery store unless it's for something small otherwise it's the 200 dollar store weekly!

Their fruit and meats are top quality, but I don't feed my family such good cuts of meat! And, I use the local supermarket for cheaper vegetables.

We usually go about once a week. My grandfather goes every Saturday morning. I don't know what he buys because there are only 2 of them living in the house and they don't eat much. Whatever though.

constantly. at least 2x a month. Keeps me from going to the regular grocery store several times a week and definately cuts down on my impulse food buys.

I keep a lot of meat in the freezer and tend to buy a lot in bulk and the cook and freeze meals to have on hand. We have a chest freezer in our garage.

We get a lot of frozen veggies and fruit there. On the weekends that we don't shop at costco we usually hit the regular grocery for produce (our grocery doesn't have very good produce so we don't actually get/need a lot) and odds and ends.

I rotate between Costco and Sams.
They are about a mile apart.
Costco has the best wrapped steaks!! I buy them for special occasions.

We usually go once a month, sometimes twice. We really should go more often because the amount of stuff we end up buying is ridiculous.

 

[EthansMom]

At least once per week -- both of my kids drink soy milk and costco carries it for 30% less than the grocery store. Several other things that are cheaper for me to buy at Costco. I'm trying to cut down on the impulse purchases, though.

I usually go once during the week and then DH wants to go again on the weekend. He likes to look at the books and DVD's and all than man stuff.

 

[ColoradoBuffaloMom]

I go to Costco about 2 - 3 times a month but my DH goes about 3-4 times a WEEK! He loves Costco and it is just a couple miles from our house. He buys clothes, books, boy toys, and food. My problem is that he buys a lifetime supply of stuff and we just can't use the quantity of stuff he buys before it goes bad.

 

[MELSMICE]

We don't have a Costco, just a Sam's Club. I try to only go about once a month. Otherwise I spend way more money than I need to. If DH comes along, the bill is 2X as much!!

 

[arminnie]

When I still lived in CA (I'm in Sam's country now) my office was across the street from Costco. I used to walk over for lunch all of the time - just to take a break or to go get ice cream.

 

[nativetxn]

I never shop at Costco because there isn't one in my area

 

[lissawynn]

We belong to Sam's Club and go once or twice a month. Their prices on dog food, tp, paper towels, etc. are much better than most grocery stores in our area.

 

[Alice28]

I haven't been going as often lately, but usually we go 2-3 times a month. I need to go soon, as a matter of fact.

 

[olena]

I never have. I don't avoid it. We have Sam's Memberships and I don't want to pay for another one.

 

[Papa Deuce]

every single Thursday

 

[Honu]

Weekly. I like a wheat bread they have and you can't get it in the grocery stores. Sometimes I even make it out of there with bread only.

 

[minniecarousel]

I go weekly - at least. We get our prescriptions there (it's the cheapest place for some of my DM's stuff). I buy their tomatoes, apples, mushrooms, artichokes, etc. I also buy my bulk paper products there. I love their already-marinated tri-tip.
