This feels like a scam. Terrible vibe too. Slightly better than walmart.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Prices are 20% less than Kroger. That's the entire model. And the PL products are top tier national brand equivalent. So their detergent is Tide quality for example. I'm not a Costco man because it's just 3 of us, but your take is completely uninformed

I probably get back the cost of yearly membership from what I save on romaine hearts alone. A bag of 6 is $4 while at most grocery stores it's $3 for 3 and they're half the size of the costco ones.

I go to Costco once a month. I buy all my general home goods (paper towels, toilet paper, paper plates, paper bowls, plastic cups, etc.) one month, then buy fish and other meat not in my usual rotation the next. Oh, and I buy butter every month. The amount I save on butter alone is worth the membership.

Plus I like picking up a slice of their cheese pizza and a large soda when I go. Their pizza is gross as hell yet engineered to be absolutely addicting.

I just bought a functional trainer from there for $1300 same one over $2000 on amazon. Buy gas there and other stuff. They have decwnt vodka for $14 on a 1.75. Their preimium vodaka is $23 for a 1.75 and it is the best Ive ever had. There is Kettle One in the freezer right now and it is not near as good

ITT: Triggered Costco fags

Do you all own stock in the company? The place isn't that good. I guess you really have to delude yourself that a place is good when you feel obligated to go there to get your money back that they jew you out of upfront. Their produce section is literal garbage. Aldi-tier depressing and bad.

This. My gf got a membership here for reasons I cant figure out. Shopping here as a single person or two people is poinltess because at best you can stock on non perishables, but any meats/fruits etc will go bad before you use them

yeah da membership is gay. they do it to keep the goyim shopping there though. its sunk cost fallacy. once you spend on a membership you will feel like you have to use it. thus you end up spending more there
