I'm a single, retired guy. Costco is very useful for certain bulk items, for example, toilet paper, facial tissue, paper towels, paper napkins, plastic kitchen waste bags, and coffee ($18 for a 46 oz bag of a local coffee brand); a few frozen items like boxes of small frozen pizzas, chicken and fish fillets, frozen fruit and occasionally, if I'm about out and the pull date is far enough out, milk. Sure, I can get all those things at my regular grocery store... if I don't mind spending 25 - 35% more. But I do mind, so it's Costco. Even with my fairly limited purchases, I save more than the yearly membership fee.
In addition to the more regularly purchased items, I have also gotten some good deals on electronics. And they sell gasoline at a slight discount over the local stations.
Some folks balk at buying there, thinking that they won't have the necessary storage space. Well, my last house was a 2 BR, 1 1/2 bath, 1400 sq ft townhouse and I could fit all of the above items neatly. Just had to plan the storage spaces.
A further thought. If you have one or more single friends, you can 'buddy up' and buy a larger package of something and split it with them.
