Spent $60 on a warehouse club membership and it finally paid off on paper towels alone

I signed up for Costco back in January mostly out of curiosity. Did the math yesterday and I'm saving about $0.02 per sheet on paper towels compared to the grocery store brand I used to buy. That's like $30 a year just on one item. Has anyone else found one random product that made the membership worth it?

$60 a year just on paper towels? That's wild. I actually did the same math last week and realized my Costco membership pays for itself on just their toilet paper. The Kirkland brand is like 3 cents a roll cheaper than anything at the local grocery store, and we go through like 2 rolls a week. I was skeptical at first too, but once I added up the savings on paper products and trash bags it was a clear win. The only thing that still bugs me is how much space the giant packs take up in my pantry.

Tried storing the big packs under my bed, @drew_bennett24, and it freed up my pantry a ton!

Had a buddy who stuffed Costco paper towels under his couch. Works fine @drew_bennett24.
