I don't think of Prime or Costco as subscriptions. They're money that offsets other costs. Costco especially. The 2% yearly rebate more than pays the subscription fee. The food is much cheaper than any other grocery store I have access to and of higher quality. The hard goods they sell save me a ton of money because they have already figured out on my behalf what a good quality middle-of-the-road product is, whether a metal ladder or a mattress. It takes a lot of time to research products.
