Today, and for the past month, it's been Brita filters. Before that, it was shampoo. My list of things I want to buy, but then ultimately don't, at Costco always seems steady at 1-2 items.
The problem is that a Costco trip isn't worth the trouble if you're just buying one or two items. And I typically only need one or two items, because I'm not supporting a family of twelve like everyone else that shops there must.
So I wait until I need more than one thing, but by the time I need two things, that first thing has already been on the list a long time. In most cases, retrospectively, it wasn't worth waiting that long to save a couple of bucks. Frequently, I break down and buy the good at a conventional retailer.
This really only ends one way: I never go to Costco, despite having a reason to go for most of the year.
