yes, good prices on electronics, garden hoses, coffee, wine selection, cheeses, breads and cigarettes
And at some stores, Gas/fuel.
I like their coffee. It's packaged by starbucks and is starbucks, at half the price.
But the prices are misleading-if you can't share the annual fee some won't save much over the year.
Yeah, I suppose if you don't shop there often enough. For someone like me though, I get my membership's worth. Like I said, I buy the majority of groceries there, as well as medications, movie theater tix, trips to Disney, electronics.... et cetera.
BTW, one thing I love about Costco, is that they stand behind anything they sell. I've known folks who took back their TV's after a couple of years, and got another one. One of my kids' Wii fucked up, and they just traded it for me. Try getting that type of deal anywhere else.
Shit, I ALWAYS buy my tires there. They are cheaper, and they come with warranties. Can't tell you how many times I've had to replace a tire, and they either give me credit for the old one, or just replace it. Like I said, I get my money's worth there.
