Does anyone do their entire shopping at Costco?

Not sure if I could get everything I need at a better price.

I'm not a huge fan of these big stores because I have limited storage space....

also, a lot of times they will carry a limited variety of flavors. So for example, they may have granola bars but only have 2 different flavors to buy - if you like them great, it will work for you.

I would think you would still need a regular grocery store for things you need in a smaller quantity or for some specialty products.

They are great for necessities - paper towels, toilet paper, water, etc. Also have a good meat and produce section.

There are certain non-perishable items I always buy from Costco, but since it's just me and DH right now, we would never be able to eat certain perishable foods that we purchased in bulk before they went bad or expired.

We went today and got a HUGE amount of stuff for only $235. We usually spend $100 for the 4 of us per week so we might be able to do most of our shopping here and save money. Comparing prices, we saved SOOO much.

6.12 lbs. of ground meat-$15
10 lbs. of Purdue Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts-$20
HUGE box of biscuit-$4.99
sooo many other things that will help us stock up.

Re: Does anyone do their entire shopping at Costco?

I do a majority of my shopping there:

bananas
salad
carrots
berries (blueberries, strawberries)
grapes
cereals
milk
paper products (paper towels, napkins, toilet paper)
all cleaning supplies
all OTC medicines (vitamins, tylenol, etc)
contact solution
deoderant
razor blades
Meat (beef, chicken, pork ribs)
the BEST rotisserie chicken
spices
diapers
wipes

the only thing I really have to buy at Target is a certain granola I like and hair gel Chat Icon
Also, they don't carry the yogurt I like so I get that elsewhere.
