If you know you’re going to need one or more big ticket items in the next year or so it may make sense to budget and plan to make all the purchases in one year to make the most of a Costco membership fee, which starts at $55.
After you cover the membership fee with one or more large purchases, stock up on smaller items such as gift cards and movie passes that you will use this year and the next in order to maximize your savings in the year you purchase a membership. For a list of seven purchases that can off-set your membership fee, visit our sister site, Living on the Cheap.
