That's cheap for Costco and you undoubtedly got club-sizes.
I just spent $130 on 4 small bags of groceries. Admittedly, a lot of it was extraordinary and the selection was coincidentally stacked towards expensive items -- for example, a $14 jug of maple syrup and a $9 bottle of honey, each of which is at most an infrequent purchase -- but it's a bit depressing to be able to carry $130 of groceries in bags dangling from one fist without exerting myself.
I remember when my mom would bring home more than a dozen paper bags stuffed to the top from the supermarket -- food for 5 for two weeks -- for half that money.
