warehouse clubs

[willidan]

Is anyone a member of a warehouse club? Anybody have any pro or con stories to tell? I'm thinking of joining Sams, but haven't quite gotten to the point of justifying the $50 a year membership fee.

Edited 11/14: I'm convinced. I'll take some of my Christmas money and invest in a membership. Thanks!

^ What she said about sharing an account - my mom did that with a coworker for a while, and it worked out really well.

Oh, and about the Italian sausage - Costco has a great range of semi-gourmet meats and cheeses at supermarket prices.

In reading the rules of membership, Costco says that you have to be family (although they do include same-sex relationships) to share a membership. I guess they don't really crack down on that rule much then.

From the website:
† A household card is available to any cardholder’s spouse, domestic partner or any immediate family member over the age of 18 and living at the same address.

Huh. This was years ago - possibly over a decade ago, so perhaps the rules have changed? Also, we were Sam's members at one point - maybe that's when she shared the membership? (Sorry, I was really young at that point),
