Absolutely. I only go 4x a year due ti it being an hour each way. Last trip I tallied my membership cost, all my purchases and compared them ounce per ounce to my local grocery. It turned out I did save including mileage/ gas costs. The savings were about 15%. Additionally, the clothes at Costco are an enormous bargain, but choices are hit or miss. Costco offers the $5 chickens. My best savings are on pecans, vitamins and over the counter drugs. Now with cell phones it is easy to compare pricing to my local stores to see exactly how much I am really saving before I buy. I enjoy spending an hour there traversing every aisle for new choices, especially seasonal holiday items. It’s simply fun for me with savings included! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.clark.com/t/do-you-think-a-costco-membership-is-worth-it/3782)._
