Warehouse Clubs

Reader Sarah wrote me recently and wanted to know my thoughts on Warehouse Clubs such as Costco or Sam’s Club. I personally have belonged to one club or another for most of my adult life. It is a good financial decision for our family for a couple of reasons.
First, we have a large family. Buying in bulk makes sense for our family.
Second, I am very selective about the things that I buy at Costco, the club that we happen to belong to currently. Most people can not get out of Costco without spending $150. There are only a few things that I buy at Costco, and I only make a trip once a month or every other month. Here are the staples I usually buy along with recent prices:
Baking Goods
Flour, 25 lbs.: $6.19
I do a lot of baking and I go through 25 lbs. of flour in about 2 months. $.25/lb. is a pretty hard price to beat. I store the excess flour in a food storage bucket.
Sugar, 25 lbs.: $9.49
Again with the baking I go through this pretty fast. I can occasionally beat $.38/lb. with a coupon, but I can’t keep enough on hand buying the little 5 lb. bags.
Yeast, 2 lbs.: $3.89
This lasts me a LONG time, but it stores great in the freezer.
Spices: prices vary
Our Costco doesn’t have a great selection of spices, but the prices are very reasonable.
Tortillas, 30 ct. $2.79
These are the big tortillas. I buy a few packages when I go and throw the extras in the freezer. They freeze just fine.
Snacks
Tortilla Chips, 5 lbs.: $3.95
I am not a huge fan of giving your kids junk for snacks, but these chips are not too bad. They only have 4 grams of fat per serving, they have no trans fat. They also have 2 grams of dietary fiber and 2 grams of protein. Much healthier than crackers. Plus they are very inexpensive. This is a big bag of chips but our family of 6 is able to finish them off before they go stale. I pre-portion them out in sandwich bags for my kids and husband to take in their lunches, then in the morning we can quickly grab them when they are packing up their lunches. And guess what, you can freeze these chips as well, it says so right on the bag! I am not sure if these are a regional thing but check them out next time you are in Costco.
Pretzels, 6 lbs.: $4.89
I use these when I am putting together the kids snack box. Even with coupons it is hard to beat $.05 a serving for snacks!
Cheese/Milk/Eggs
Mozzarela Cheese, 5 lbs.: $8.75
This is about $1.76/lb. I never see cheese this price anywhere else. I buy both the Mozzarela and Cheddar in the shredded 5 lb. bag. I buy a couple of bags when I go and then I divide those bags into 2 freezer bags and you guessed it, put them in the freezer.
Milk: price varies
I know that I can get 2 gallons of milk for about $4.00 at my local grocery store, sometimes Costco beats this price, sometimes not.
Eggs: price varies
Same story as the milk, sometimes Costco can beat everyone’s price, sometimes not.
There are a few other things I buy such as peanut butter and bleach, but this is pretty much it.
There are also several things at Costco that are not good deal at all and I think you should steer clear of. Here are the things I DO NOT buy at Costco:
Meat I can get a better deal buy stocking up when there are sales at my local grocery stores.
Cleaning Supplies & Laundry Detergent With the exception of bleach I can do better at the Drug Stores with coupons.
Canned Foods Most of their prices on canned foods are not too hot.
Most Produce I buy salad and bananas there occasionally, but most of there produce prices are very high.
Trinkets/Toys/Dishes/Cameras/DVD Players/Serving Platters I skip right through the first part of the store with blinders on. Moste of these items are a good buy, but if only if you need them. Do you really need a new matching pitcher and tumbler set? If the answer is no, then don’t stop to look.
So what do you think? Do you agree with my thoughts on warehouse clubs? Do you belong to a warehouse club and do you think it helps or hurts your budget. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
