I'm looking to cook most of my meals, fairly healthy and fairly cheap. Is a BJs/Costco or similar wholesale store membership worth it? Would I save money and get good quality? My company also grants me a discounted rate with BJs, reducing it to $30/yr.

$30/ year? Probably a good deal. A can of top-brand soup costs maybe $2 or $3, right? So, would you buy 10 or 15 cans of soup in a year? If so, you're probably coming out ahead.

Say you spend $1500 a year on groceries. I'm sure with all those purchases you could find a way to save $30. Also the gas is cheaper typically so that's a plus
Not at all. Literally everything is cheaper elsewhere. I don't get how these place keep afloat. I went with a friend to Costco once to buy toilet paper because I wanted to stock up. The pack of 18 Charmin mega rolls was $3 more than the same quantity at Target, so I left and went there instead.
I've tried Costco in the past and was never wowed by the prices so when it came time to renew membership, I just let it expire. Having to pay them for the privilege of giving them my money for the same goods I could get cheaper elsewhere without a pay-membership doesn't seem like a good deal to me. Fuck that noise.
Although, I seem to recall that gas seemed cheap there back then but I didn't have a car at the time so never got to take advantage of that.
