Even though I'm just feeding myself, I maintain a CostCo membership. Mostly because I know for a fact that I can get contact lens solution cheaper at CostCo than I could buying the stuff at a drugstore. Also, if I'm ambitious, I can consume that 3 quart package of strawberries for $5.00 on my own, although I'd prefer a little help.
I let my membership lapse for a few months because CostCo isn't a place that I visit all too often. So tonight I renewed my membership and unloaded some hard-earned cash on non-perishables I needed (and a couple splurges). How much did I save? [price I paid at CostCo]/[price I found somewhere else or would otherwise normally pay]
DVD - The Brave One (we all know I'm a sucker for movies) -> $18.09/$14.99 ($3.10 loss)
Clorox Automatic Toilet Bowl Cleaner, 6-pack -> $8.99/$21.96 (at $3.66 each) ($12.97 savings)
Tide Ultra High Efficiency Laundry Detergent 170 oz -> $19.49/$35.90 ($10.56 for 50 oz) ($16.41 savings)
Skintimate shave gel, 4 x 9.5 oz cans -> $8.44/$14.99 (Actually found the same package product!) ($6.55 savings)
Dial Clean & Soft Body Wash, 3 x 18 oz bottles -> $7.49/$17.97 ($5.99 for 18 oz bottle) ($10.48 savings)
Opti-Free Replenish Contact Lens Solution, 2 x 14 oz bottles -> $16.22 /$23.51 ($16.79 for 2 x 10 oz bottles) ($7.29 savings)
Centrum Performance Vitamins, 150 ct -> $18.87/$24.98 ($19.99 for 120 ct) ($6.11 savings)
Cascade Advanced Dishwasher Powder, 125 oz -> $7.59/$8.65 ($5.19 for 75 oz - regular stuff) ($1.06 savings)
Ziploc Freezer Bags, Quart-Size, 4 x 54 bags -> $8.89/$39.96 ($3.70 for 20 bags) ($31.07 savings)
My total savings: $88.84!
That means this trip alone more than paid for my membership this year! I am a little bummed about paying extra for the movie, but am pretty happy about saving almost $39.00 overall (after you count the price of a yearly membership).
