Have any of you multiples moms started using club membership stores like Sam's Club or Costco? We are debating on getting a membership for diapers, formula, food, etc. but are wondering if it's worth it.
We are on special formula so I didn't look into that but I calculated diapers at Sam's Club at 14 cents per diaper for their brand, way cheaper than Walmart or grocery stores. Only problem was they just had size 4 and up (not sure if this is all Sam's Clubs or just mine). Their large boxes of Huggies were 16 cents per, though, which is cheaper than other stores. I've heard Costco sells their brand at size 1 and up so we are going to look into that next.
I love Costco! Can't beat their prices for diapers, wipes, and formula. They have additional savings on them often and we stock up. We also buy our pet food, toilet paper and paper towels from their. Actually, we buy pretty much everything at Costco, their base prices for most things are great and they have coupons every month for things.
We have a Costco membership. I only buy the wipes there because I don't like huggies or Costco brand but it's also nice to buy other things in bulk since my twins are toddlers and eating a lot now!
We have both Sams & Costco memberships. I have heard Costco wipes are the best so we man on definitely buying those. I've heard mixed reviews on their diapers but will give them a try once our twins are here. In my opinion, the $50 membership fee is totally worth it!

I have both memberships although haven't even tried to price diapers, wipes, or formula. One Sam's employee told me she pretty much only uses her membership to buy diapers, wipes, and meat because the prices can't hardly be beat.
Costco will refund your membership fee at any point if you aren't satisfied so I'd say it's worth a shot!
We use Amazon mom for things for my toddler, and I don't expect that to change. We do have a membership to bj's, but I don't use it a ton because it's hard to manage a trip there on my own with just my toddler let alone infant twins! The convenience factor alone makes it worthwhile, especially in the winter when the roads are bad.
Re: Club membership stores
I think we will be looking into it further then. The thought of that many diapers for 2 makes me shiver.

The produce is wonderful. I also like the Kirkland brand products they offer.
