My latest post at Money Crashers is a detailed look into the pros and cons of shopping at warehouse stores. You all know this is a subject I've felt torn about ever since we visited Costco with my in-laws one Christmas and I got a gander at their prices on organic sugar and Fair Trade coffee beans. Was it worth paying an entry fee of $55 a year just to gain access to these bargains? Would we spend enough at the store to make the cost worthwhile—and would the array of cheap luxuries tempt us to spend more than we would at our usual grocery haunts?
For us, I've concluded, the solution is probably no, specially because I've determined that (a) Costco's residence logo espresso is undrinkable, and (b) all of the items which are speculated to be such unbeatable deals at Costco are as reasonably-priced or less expensive some other place. But what's actual for us isn't continually real for every body else, so my new article goes into the specialists and cons of warehouse shops and the various factors that would make a membership a good buy for you. And I moreover speak approximately the manner to get the maximum fee from your membership if you do decide to enroll in.
