Bigger isn’t automatically better — especially when it comes to shopping for groceries. While buying in bulk is a no-brainer for families, “if you are single and live alone, a Costco membership is not likely to save you money,” says Steven Millstein, editor of CreditRepairExpert. One or two people cannot consume nearly enough food and daily necessities to make the annual membership fee worth it. Millstein proposes dividing a membership with friends and making bulk purchases together, instead.
