My Frugal Year » Costco http://www.myfrugalyear.com Saving Money One Day at a Time Wed, 20 Jul 2011 22:55:06 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 Day Fifteen – I Love Costco http://www.myfrugalyear.com/2009/01/15/day-fifteen-i-love-costco/ http://www.myfrugalyear.com/2009/01/15/day-fifteen-i-love-costco/#comments Fri, 16 Jan 2009 03:51:30 +0000 becca http://myfrugalyear.com/?p=92 Costco is a great deal. I enjoy shopping there. The store is always nice and clean and the stuff is quality. The deals are really good too, compared with the grocery store on a lot of items. I got my handy little Costco coupon booklet in the mail last week, so that helped even more! Now not every price there is better than in the grocery store so you have to do your comparisons.

Some things are hands down a better deal. Garbage bags, for instance. I used to get the Hefty 33gal at the grocery store. Right now for 33 bags of the 33gal. size, it’s running anywhere from $11.99 – $12.99 at the grocery store. I just got the Kirkland brand 33gal size – 90 bags for $11.99. That’s a great deal. Almost three times as many bags for the same price. And seriously – how long will it take me to go through 90 bags that size? A long time, I’d guess.

I was still driving the little Mazda today. Man, that thing is cheap to run. I put $10 of gas in it and it’s almost full. Won’t have to fill it up again for a while.

So…today’s totals:

Spent:
$10 on gas
$141.14 at Costco
Saved today:
Costco coupons $18
Transferred to savings $18
Year to date savings $89.29
and that doesn’t even count what I save shopping for certain things at Costco over the grocery store. This is going well!
