I agree. We're currently affiliated with Sam's Club (we switch back and forth to maximize the free membership deals). I feel like we never get out of Sam's Club or Costco for less than $100, regardless of what we went for originally.

I wonder if the size of the warehouse has some effect. In that size space, things look smaller and less substantial so you buy more or subconsciously feel more need.

I know I bought a TV and thought it looked ok / a bit small but then when I got home it was huge. I had measured prior to going and was between two sizes.
