Link - Ten Items You Should Always Stock Up On
We haven't yet gone to Costco this year, haven't yet renewed our membership. We're waiting to build up our grocery budget reserves, and to be out of five staples before we go. Coffee is one of those items, and it's apparently pretty cheap to get through Amazon. Amazon Prime Membership is $79 a year versus $65 a year for Costco, no pushing a cart past people, no ten minute wait at checkout, no hassle trying to find a parking spot a mere 200 yards from the store... Costco isn't that far from our house, a mere fifteen minute drive.
Update:
OF COURSE the day I think of getting Amazon Prime the company thinks of upping the annual cost from $79 to $99 or even $119. I'm compiling a list of things I usually get at Costco, or even at Vitamin places or department stores, their average or latest prices, how often I buy them, and how much they cost on Amazon. If I end up saving $150 despite Amazon Prime, I'll jump. But if I were dozens of miles from a Costco, this'd be a no-brainer.

I like the Costco membership because of the potential for stocking up on certain items. I have a Costco American Express and I buy their gasoline (usually cheapest in town) and I do get a lot of things at Costco. The cost for dog food for my 4 dogs is 50% less at Costco, which makes it worth while for dog food purchases alone. Two 50 lb. bags save me $50, which really pays for the membership.
I like Kirkland paper towels and toilet paper. I like the $5 roast chicken, and the $10 huge pizza which can feed even my nephews (OMG 20 year olds can EAT HUGE QUANTITIES).
