I monitor our budget closely and I estimate we save $100 to $140 a month using this method at Costco

My boyfriend and I eat a meal of Costco samples approximately three times a week

The only way you're saving $100-$140/month by skipping 3 meals a week is if the alternative is fast-food or something similar.

If you prep your meals in advance, your "savings" make eating samples far less attractive.
