Just wondering how severe my Costco addiction is

    We go maybe twice a month. We have to go down and cross the border into Oregon to do it, so we don’t do it that often. They have a few things that we just won’t do without. My husband loves the muffins, has one every morning for breakfast.

        My Costco is a less busy one. Also, weekends have the best samples. My family treats it more as fun outing, so we aren’t usually trying to rush through anyway.

    2-3 times a month, sometimes more. I don’t usually get gas there though, because the lines are always long and there are a couple gas stations near me that sell as cheap or cheaper, especially for the e15/unleaded 88 vs Costco’s regular unleaded 87.

    Usually a couple times a month for regular shopping. I live really close to my warehouse though, so I’ll drop in fairly often and grab a slice of pizza when I don’t feel like cooking, and I only get gas at Costco anymore, so it’s technically a fair bit more than that.

    Okay Costco market analytics team. Surely you could just look up the receipt entries… Oh the most be a genuine question!

    Every 2 weeks for gas and a pizza/chicken+hotdog, once a month as a major trip for frozen lunches and fresh fruits.

    We’re about to get a Costco immediately next door to my place of business. I’m going to make myself sick on hotdogs.

      Costco should include statistics on the annual renewal letter. Things like trips per month, most frequent purchase, average spent never mind I don’t want to know that.

    About every 6 weeks to stock up an meat pantry and household items. I drop 400 to 600 on a trip. In between I get produce at other stores so I can keep it fresh (I don’t need half a bushel of lettuce that goes bad in 3 days)

      If it is mostly frozen or will be frozen (fresh) how many coolers do you bring on a trip like that?

      Costco frozen things are big to begin with!

    2-4 times a month. It’s the closest grocery store to my house and has 80% of what I regularly buy. Definitely saves money on things like potato chips and I like that there’s consistent prices on things like drinks. When I go to regular stores I have no idea if a 2 liter bottle is $2, 3, $4 that week based on what sale they’re having or not.
