What do you buy at Costco and BJs?
What things do you buy at Costco and BJs, rather than the supermarket? I'm trying to figure out what would I should get there (in terms of the best deals). I always get my toilet paper and paper towels there. What other items are "must buys"?
(I have a BJs membership)
Thanks!
