Here’s The #1 Way to Beat Recession Grocery Shopping: With A Costco Membership
--
Did you know that Costco is no longer a luxury in this recession economy? It has become a necessity.
Because of membership costs, some consider Costco a more expensive alternative for groceries. Here are the memberships they offer:
According to the Costco website:
Executive Membership:
$120.00 Annual membership fee ($60 membership fee, plus $60 upgrade fee)*
Includes a free Household Card
Valid at all Costco locations worldwide
Annual 2% Reward on qualified Costco purchases (terms and conditions apply)
Additional benefits and greater savings on Costco Services
Extra benefits on select Costco Travel products
Business Membership:
$60.00 Annual membership fee*
Includes a free Household Card
Add Affiliate Cardholders for $60 each*
Valid at all Costco locations worldwide
Purchase for resale
Business Members must provide Costco with the appropriate resale information
Gold Star Membership:
$60.00 Annual membership fee*
Includes a free Household Card
Valid at all Costco locations worldwide
Here are more perks of membership.
I am a Gold Star member and for my smaller household, it serves my purposes well. Yes, it does suck when the annual renewal membership comes up every year but I’ve been a member for over 20 years so it must be worth it!
I have always wondered if I was getting a better deal shopping at Costco, than the local grocery store like Giant Eagle or Aldi. This year, I have noticed especially I am getting a better value.
