It’s coming down to the final deadline. I’m running out of time and need to decide ….

Kids are at college so buying in bulk is less important but I love Costco. My membership expired in May, but I’m down to three rolls of toilet paper, LoL

Do I renew Costco and continue to buy in bulk at the potential of wasting money, or do I give up on Costco and buy all supplies from the grocery?

I had a membership a while back when I was buying electronics, i.e. a laptop and computer. They had a full-money-back no-questions-asked return policy (up to I think a month, used to be longer but people abused it.) Selection wasn't that great, but it was good enough for me. Dunno if it's still like that.

    I’ve done that historically but I don’t have any big purchases planned.

    • Their electronics selection is limited but matches well with the level of brands I tend to get. They usually had good prices for those brands and models
    • you can find similar items for lower prices elsewhere if you front care about brand or features
    • I do usually find something there for Christmas gifts as well

    And most importantly it’s my only known local source for kewpie mayo

    Costco gives one year additional warranty on top of manufacturers warranty, I have received in my life, three completely new laptops as a result of this. Manufacturer gives one year warranty, credit card gives another year warranty, Costco gives a third year warranty, nothing is sweeter than parts not being available at year 2.5, and you get a massive upgrade.
