We have Costco membership... wonder if this is worth it? We usually do not go out all out for Xmas (gift wise), so it'll be only for everyday essentials.

i dont like these stores that much as i never buy in bulk enough to make it worth it. but i figure in 15 weeks i can stock up on enough stuff ;toilet paper,soap,stuff like that,so i wont have to buy it on a regular basis thru the winter at least. i hate lugging heavy stuff in the snow

Just a thought, but I just checked website and the annual membership shows as $40 so comes out to less over long haul.

It's not really a deal but useful if people want to avoid the surcharge charged to nonmembers over holiday season.

 

Also, they're BF sales may be worth it? Looks like they had a very nicely priced laptop last year.

I just did the numbers too.. it isn't that great of a deal unless you just cannot come up with the full membership fee. The $15 for 15 weeks comes to nearly $60 if you were to pay it to cover the entire year..for $40 you get 52 weeks.. If you take the $40 and figure that out for 15 weeks, it comes to $11.54 per week.. just my 2 cents on it...:yup:

They do it every year. If you have no other membership, it's good for the holidays if you entertain alot. Most have very good food options (better than BJ's IMHO) I bought some Frank and Dean cd's for my mother in law that were nice.

I haven't seen any lately.

 

I just wanted to add that the $15 for 15 week memberships are good for people who are unsure if it is worth it for them to join full-time. Sam's is good for my parents (I was checking this thread for them), but for my DH and I it isn't worth it. Especially now that the one close to us closed.
