Costco would not really be a viable substitute for your general shopping at Whole Foods. JMO.

Costco Look around for bulk items you would never have though of. Enjoy the freebe handouts. The membership cost is worth it. I have belonged since they started in California.

Costco sells stuff in warehouse quantities, so for a small family all you would probably want is staples that can last a long time on your shelves. Some people actually remodel their storage areas so they can store the stuff that they get at Costco. They sell film, batteries, tires, office supplies, TVs, computers, appliances, clothing, cleaning supplies, groceries, health and beauty aids, and yes, gourmet foods, if you can handle three pounds of cheese, or two ounces of caviar, or two pounds of smoked salmon at a time. Great for parties.
