No way...I look at it all the time. Costco is a lot cheaper on diapers and formula.
Ymmv. I got 600 huggies wipes from Amazon mom for $3 and a box of Huggies overnights for $8 last month. Target ran that $40 off $200 diapers/formula deal a few months back with additional GCs when you bought x boxes of pampers and huggies diapers and formula.
1) You do get a better deal on Amazon mom but I don't like the subscribe option. I buy when I need it.
2) Costco has private label wipes that are great and a lot cheaper.
For example, Huggies Pull-ups:

Costco: 33 cents per diaper vs. 41 cent per diaper (no discount)...even at Amazon Mom discount, it a tie.

But again...the convenience factor is not that big a deal to me because I pick up a lot of stuff at one time.
Sure..but Costco has a lot of high-quality private label stuff that I can get all at one time. Shopping multiple website is not necessarily more convenient. Costco also has a great return policy.
Other than the chicken, the ribs, the pizza, and the chicken wrap I can't stand Costco. Being that it's just me, myself, and I there isn't a need for me to buy in bulk. And those gas lines are beyond stupid at their gas pumps....I can't believe people actually spend 15-20 minutes waiting to gas up their cars. Get a damn 5% off gas card from PenFed and call it a day.
The new lines are pretty smooth. Although, there are still times you want to avoid, esp on the weekends.
Agreed on the gas lines. You definitely want to avoid certain times but overall it's pretty smooth and quick. I don't go out of my way to go to Costco gas but I pass by one enough times in a week to get gas when it's not too busy.
Savings is about 20-30 cents a gallon...for 16 gallons, that's about $3-$5 per fill up. If you go out to GG or Buena Park...savings can be like 35-40 cents from Irvine.

I already conceded I'm in the minority and it's unamercian to not shop at Costco. All I'm saying is - Costco isn't the end all be all. Deals can be had all over the place. Shopping from my phone while waiting for my kids to do ther tiger mom activities is a hell lot easier than driving over to the physical Costco.

I picked up the Amazon Chase card since they were offering $100 of amazon purchases. I'll use my Freedom Chase card this quarter because of the 5% rebate but then I'll use the Amazon Chase card since it provides a 3% discount on all amazon purchases.

Yep, never go there when gas lines are ridiculous.
Both cars are 20 gallons, and it's always at least 30 cents cheaper than the closest/cheapest station.
And we go frequent enough to time the fill up.
Go every week and it adds up.
That's when I wished I had the tesla model s and x.

Good time to catch up on TI when waiting in gas lines. Also notice Costco pumps always go faster than others. So that means the filters are clean and you're getting better gas right?
I use to tell my wife that it's not worth waiting but there is a much higher delta between the other gas stations than Costco within the last couple months.
