We have a BJs membership, and use it for non-perishables like TP, dog food, contact solution, and dry foods. I'll buy meat or produce occasionally, but it's just the two of us, so I have to have a plan for it all! We definitely save money, even with the limited amount of stuff that we buy.

As for ethanol gas: E10 is all that's available in some parts of the country now that MTBE is no longer being produced by many of the refiners, including our local refinery. I have some concerns about ethanol, especially at higher concentrations, but it's my only choice here.
