Costco. Hate it or ??? ? ??love it, but you really should join it. Why? Aside from the Kirkland vodka and free-sample Saturdays, Costco is giving new members Shop Cards worth up to $20when they join through February. Use that extra bump to stock up on flavored water and teeth-whitening strips, and then nab a hot dog and soda for under two bucks in the food court! No car? No problem. Get an entry-level Gold Star Membership for $60and you can order stuff online for delivery.
Here are a few more reasons to get on the Costco train.

It’s 24 pounds of fromage and costs way less than the average wedding cake. And did we mention it’s made entirely of cheese? Put a ring on it.

And strawberry sundaes. And pizza. After you’ve pushed your SUV-sized shopping cart full of toilet paper and almond milk around all morning, replenish at the king of all food courts. Or at least get a good sugar rush on.

It’s over five pounds of organic, virgin goodness. Slather it on your hair and skin after your workout, use it to cook up Brussels sprouts, and bullet-proof your morning coffee. It’s affordable, enormous, and you can’t use enough of it.
