My Costco Membership is Renewed For Another Year
To tell you the truth, I had to debate whether or not to renew it this year. I like Costco, but the closest one is more than 30 minutes away and going there always requires some pre-planning (or remembering to check out their website). As a result, we don't go nearly as much as we probably would prefer to. Then, on top of it, the cost of the membership increased recently too.
However, after some reflection and a bit of math, I did decide it was worth spending the money on it again. Actually, when it came right down to it, the decision wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. All I ultimately had to consider was my wife's contact lenses.
She wears them daily and has the one-and-done kind (wears them once and throws them away). I can buy a 6-month supply of those at Costco for what it would cost me for a 1-month supply at any of our local vision places. That savings alone pays for the membership for us and any deals we get at the store later are just icing on the cake.
So, now that that expense is out of the way, I'm looking forward to another year of membership with the hopes we can get down there a little more often this year.
