I live in Pittsburgh with my wife and our three children, and I love to shop at Costco.
I spend around $500 a month at the bulk grocer because I do most of my shopping there.

As a Pittsburgh dad of three, I feel like I'm always running to the store for something.

To avoid blowing through our grocery budget as inflation keeps jacking price tags up, I do the majority of our shopping at Costco. I can get great deals on bulk products that we use on a daily and weekly basis.
