Meat!!! Great selection of meat and since they give you so much I just freeze it and it lasts forever

I can't buy anything in bulk right now because of the horrible storage situation I have in my current place, but when i could I loved to buy toilet paper, and paper towels in bulk.

We haven't joined but are dying to join, I think maybe this weekend. I know when we do though it will be the meats and fish so we can freeze it and have them. My MIL shops there every week so usually we steal her toilet paper and paper towels...it's like Costco in her house :)

I buy our paper towels, disinfectant wipes, coffee cups (all store brand), meat, rotisserie chicken, shave gel, and 100-calorie pack snacks there. Sometimes they have great fruit sales! I got delicious strawberries and blackberries from Costco on Sunday. Their prices were much better than the supermarkets!

I don't buy as much anymore since it's only DH and me.
I buy mostly cleaning supplies, toiletries, meats, some frozen foods, some canned and jarred goods.
Paper goods (TP and paper towels) and soda are not a bargain. I can get better deals on laundry supplies at Target or Waldbaum's during their sales.

we only buy things that will never go bad (trash bags, zip locks, catchup, sauce)

and anything fresh what we could use in three months or less (frozen) - Chicken breast cutlets, chicken/turkey burgers (in summer), some bread, cheese (yes you can freeze cheese).

I go into sensory overload when entering into BJs. Seriously, i can OD in there. My husband calls it "my happy place" I prefer going alone b/c i like to go down every aisle and take my time and when he rushes me, im like UM EXCUSE ME your RUINING my BJs experience!!!

Def paper products, cleaning supplies, water and dog food are staples.
