Just wondering how severe my Costco addiction is

    My nearest one is 60 miles away, so I don’t go too often anymore.

    I ended up in an odd situation. My next door neighbor, who is 83, works at USDA food giveaways.

    So when they aren’t able to give away everything he gives a lot of it to me. So I’ve been working on making recipes from the excess and giving it back to him.

    It would be nice to get to Costco for other stuff.

    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.

    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.

      I go almost every other weekend or more if needed. Since I do majority of my shopping there, the executive membership pays for itself and the Citi card cash back is a plus.

    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)

    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.

    About once a month. Used to time it with filling up the gas tank but now it’s just when we’re low on at least 3 bulk things.
