How much of a savings for quality pet food does Costco really offer? Is it significantly cheaper than PetCo/PetSmart? And do you need to buy a huge amount to get the savings? If so, is it worth it? Please read below…
I live alone, so buying bulk isn’t really a need for other things.
I’ve been trying to determine if getting a CostCo membership would be worth it or not. And pet food & litter is a factor I’ve been weighing.
I have a 45lbs dog and a large breed cat, and I try to feed them both on the higher end of quality food (kibble for both). By that I mean \*above\* what’s at Walmart and grocery stores, but middle-range for pet stores. Typically $50+ per 30lbs bag of dog food, for example.
I only buy gas about twice a month, so I’m not sure how much that would save me on my car consumption. And since I’m only cooking for myself, I don’t think the rest of Costco is worth a lot to me. I also live in the city, if that helps.
In my area anyway, they cannot deny you from their pharmacy, liquor store, or even their food court just because you don’t have a membership, so those three are no incentive.
Is the savings on pet food (and I guess 24 fill-ups on gas per year for a sedan) enough that I can justify the membership?
