Three Key Questions to Determine if Costco Membership Will Save You Money
Will a Costco Membership Save You Money or Cost You Money?
If you're considering joining Costco, there are three key questions to ask yourself to decide if it's the right move. Find out what they are.
1. Will you shop at Costco enough to justify the membership fee?
If you can save at least $5 per month by shopping at Costco compared to other stores, then your membership will save you money. If you're buying gas at Costco regularly, chances are you'll cover your upfront fees.
2. Will you be tempted to overspend at the warehouse club?
Consider whether you're likely to impulse-buy unnecessary items at Costco, potentially negating any potential savings.
3. Will you end up tossing bulk items in the trash?
Ensure bulk purchases make sense for you and avoid wasting money on large quantities that may go bad before use.
