Costco Wholesale

The mother ship! Need I say more?

Got to love a place you can get an affordable flu shot, a computer with a longer warranty and a polish dog. Throw your kids a slice o pizza and they will let you do your shopping in peace. Also the value and quality of their glasses is on point. Even my coke bottle vision gets compliments.

Costco is the place to go for more bang for your buck - if you can use large quantities. I love the prices, but I find myself struggling when it comes to buying food, as a single man. I would love to be able to buy some of the quality product they have for meat and other foods, but have no use for quite so much. Fortunately, the household, pharmaceutical, gas, and electronics selection make the membership more than worth it, despite the lack of options for me to buy groceries in a sensible way for my household.

This is a membership store that requires an annual dues. With that membership you have access to cheap gas, vision services (glasses, contacts), pharmacy, hearing, photo development, groceries, vitamins and general merchandise at a great price point. Most everything is in very large quantities so it's not the best place to shop for a single person living alone. The store offers a limited selection of choice in most items. For example you may go to Fred Meyers and have a choice of 5 different makers of peanut butter but at Costco you'll have 1 or 2 and the sizes will be huge. They will also randomly stop carrying an item you've purchased in the past without notice. Personally, I love this place and shop often. I have attached my parents, kids and wife to the account so it's worth every penny. Sometimes the price of gas can be 40¢ cheaper a gallon. If you like to buy in volume then this is the place.

Costco is a wonderful place to shop. However I call it the hundred dollar store! When I go there I 'm usually out of everything, so I have to a lot of things, but I love the products, selection, and variety of all that is there! Just give yourself time and enjoy your shopping !!
