I quit Costco after I realized most items I needed from them were generally about the same or only pennies cheaper per unit, sometimes actually more expensive, and almost always cheaper when on sale at a normal supermarket. For example ground beef was usually about $3/lb, the same as my local supermarket has on sale every other week for the same quality/lean level.
Couple that with the inconvenience of having to go to a second location for normal shopping needs, and one that is usually a jam packed on parking and checkout lines... It just wasn't worth it for the small handful of things that were a good deal.
