A couple years ago, they would only offer it seasonally around St. Paddy's day, so we would grab 2 boxes every time we were in there. Ended up with half the top shelf of my deep freeze full of it. Come that June, we realized they were actually offering it year round, so no need to stockpile anymore. We still maintain about a 10lb reserve just in case. As for the membership, we started doing the Executive membership, which ends up paying for itself with our purchasing habits there.
