Costco?
So im a single dude with a 1 bedroom apt. and a dog, I am a culinary student and I do alot of cooking…Is costco worth it for me or just way to much shit to have to buy at a time to fit in a small apt.
How much do you cook at home?
How much bottled stuff do you drink?
It really depends on how much you consume. As far as the dog goes, their bulk dog food is very cheap and super high quality stuff. My pets love it.
You can buy meat primals which is nice if you want to cut your own steaks/meat.
Meat is a good way to go, you can butcher it up and freeze it in individual portions. Fruits and veggies I find tough to get through, even with a boyfriend living with me, but some things, like mushrooms last about a week and I can generally get through them fast enough. Toilet paper, paper towels, pet food, bottled drinks, butter, cheese, canned soups, kalamata olives, beer, those things tend to be much cheaper than buying at at grocery store. I also get shampoo and face cleaner wipes/contact lens solution there too.
Costco’s business strategy is to only sell "the best". It is easily worth going there even as a single person; many single people shop there simply for the quality and savings.
Don’t hesitate to shop there or to buy the Kirkland Signature brand stuff, they are all great!
theres almost enough single purchase savings to cover the cost of membership for a year.
wife’s car needed a battery. the ‘kirkland’ brand is made on the same line as the shit they sell at autozone. cost $45 less. and the costco one has a better warranty.
I buy the packages of precut pork chops for about $2 a pound less than the grocery store regularly, package them in pairs and freeze. lasts about a month or so.
ny strip is usually $7 a pound or so, $3 or $4 less than the grocery store.
and gas is usually $.15 or so cheaper a gallon!

Cutting strip steaks from a loin primal FTW!
definitely worth the membership fees, everything they have is good quality
the meat at costco isn’t awesome, but it’s not bad, either. If you cook a lot, just that will save you a ton of money. Get you one of those little $40 vacuum sealers, then you can buy the huge ass packages of meat, break them into single servings, and throw them in the freezer. Totally worth it.
i always liked those types of places for non-perishibles, though you really should still shop around. they don’t always have the best prices. as an example, i found that the huge box of diapers from BJs cost slightly more than the same thing from Target. i know BJs != Costco, but the point is the same. there are tons of items for which these bulk places are cheaper, but still some stuff where they aren’t. it pays to be informed.
one thing i did find very good prices on is printer ink (saved $25 on 3 cartridges), razor blades and contact lens solution.
