Is a Costco/BJ’s membership worth it?

I go with her with my car on the weekend for a massive load that according to her should last her all month. I swear it was like going to a small amusement park. You spend pretty much all day browsing and shopping. And she was stressing out on if she's missing any item she didn't think about buying. My trunk and back seat were filled with groceries but get this; She or myself still had to make stops to the regular grocery store from time to time so I'm really not sold on the convenience. I don't want spend that much time at a grocery store and still need items elsewhere to shop for.

My uncle never shops at a grocery store. He does 100% of his shopping at BJ's.

But I do agree with you. These wholesale places do give you that adrenaline rush that you normally get at an amusement park. The store is just so massive and filled with a ton of great stuff. Very exciting feeling! That's actually why I really want to join.
