The thing is you can save a ton of money on a few non-food items to make it worth it. Just over-the-counter medicines save me a huge chunk of the membership fee. Then there are just random household goods: paper products, trash bags, dishwasher detergent, etc.

I get my dogs seizure meds there and they're about $10 a month but at a regular pharmacy they'd be $300+.
