There's still that Groupon deal for a $65 membership that comes with a $50 Shop Card of you're looking for a deal on that. The higher membership ($130) comes with a $100 off $200 order coupon online along with the $50 Shop Card

Edit: Need to be a "new" member or not a member for 18+ months
Costco front-loads some of that in the membership fee, but item prices are generally cheaper and quality generally better than their competition. There's a lot of additional services you get access to as well through the membership which helps further justify it.
You pay Walmart (and other low-cost grocers) through your taxes (since their employees are almost always on governmental assistance) as well as low quality for comparable items. Grocers with similar quality have higher item costs per item.
Costco: Generic Zyrtec - 365 pills @ ~$12
Meijer: Generic Zyrtec - 300 pills @ $34
Meijer: Zyrtec - 60 pills @ $34 (or 360 @ $204)
Besides that, there are many other items Costco carries (nuts being another good example) which are generally better sourced and cheaper than anything you can find elsewhere.

That is almost worth buying a new membership. I wonder if you can do that.
I believe there's a "new" membership requirement where the person has to be new or not have a membership in the past 18 months. I'd grab it if eligible. The executive auto/home/renter insurance policies are very competitive but unfortunately not available for the gold star members (or at least not as discounted)

Though some, like Coke and milk for me, is about the same as or worse than Walmart.
As always shop around, but the good thing about Costco is nothing I'm interested in is an outright ripoff. Shop there enough and the membership fee isn't insane. That's their profit and an enticement for you to shop there regularly.
Am increasingly interested in Walmart+ though… You can get gas at Sam's with it now apparently.

I always feels the same way. And then when I reach the billing, my bill always comes around 250-300 when all I came in was for some toilet paper, water bottles, milk, fruits and chicken 😂
