Mostly it was for Sam’s $1.38 large hot dog/soda. Which according to what I’m told Sam Walton said the price to always stay the same. Has to be a loss leader at today’s prices.

It’s been years since I paid for Costco membership, our points pay for that and more. We buy appliances and furniture for our multiple homes, tires for 3 cars when needed, eyewear yearly, gas. Bulk does not define everything at Costco, just my coffee, dairy, poultry and seafood cost me less than any grocery.
As one ages it’s hard to justify change of buying habits, and admit, that the change could be worthwhile.
