For those members, is it worth the cost of membership for the savings of buying a washer and dryer as opposed to Home Depot or Best Buy? Closest one is 75 miles away and appliances would be delivered. Would be nice to go to store once in a while too, but mainly looking at cost&benefit in the appliances only.

Use a burner email address when you sign up. I made the mistake of getting a membership two years ago; canceling my membership was easy, stopping the deluge of email sales flyers was far more difficult than it should have been.

Besides delivery and take away being included with the pricing, lots of appliances sold by Costco will also include extended warranty periods.

Cool, that's nice to know. Never been to one before but have heard good things. May look for a Black Friday deal

Box stores come out ahead if you can install yourself and haul away the old one or sell it. The costco extended warranty is nice but most appliances will last two years if they last one.

The savings on a single appliance purchase will not offset the cost of membership. But if you plan to use your membership even a little bit like once a month it will be worth it.

You will be able to order things for delivery. Dogfood, paper towels, toilet paper and diapers are worth it because of their size.

Plus their car rentals are solid and cover two drivers. Plus other benefits you get with an executive membership for $130 ish.

Exec membership 2% cash back and go before the poors do at 10am.

Never go on weekends during normal hours before 3pm. Weekdays are fine.

Don’t forget Home Depot offers military discount 10%

“In 2021, we proudly unveiled a Military Discount program expansion for all U.S. veterans, active service members and spouses to receive 10% off eligible items in-stores and online. To help make the discount and registration process more readily available, we’ve created a visual how-to guide.”

10% off eligible purchases up to a $400 maximum annual discount

You do realize every item is marked up when you purchase online and get it delivered “for free”, right?

It’s even more for the same day delivery. Be careful

Yes. Get the Citibank credit card and get cash back enough to pay for your membership

Oh I know. But for safes, mattresses, fridges — the big heavy shite — they can't be beat.
