Same here, and it doesn't cost me anything to belong with the
cash back I get from my Costco American Express and my
executive membership. They have great deals on sheets and
towels, too. I couldn't find towels that fit what I wanted, finally
I thought to check them out at Costco. Got 8 big bath towels for
50 something dollars, it's crazy. And they are nice. Queen sheets
for $35 anyone? Nice cotton sheets, not flimsy cotton/poly.

As far as the sizes go, a lot of times they sell multiples of an item
bundled together rather than one large container, they know people
don't need that 5 pound can of tuna.
