Costco always gives trouble to customers deliberately....with too many restrictions on memberships....and I saw things are more pricey in Costco than Sams...(Fiber one bars 6 dollars in sams and 8 dollars in Costco)...
And WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE....
So....absolutely no point or STUPID to thing Costco membership helps...

I love Costco for many reasons. The first one is that I bought stock in it, when it was still Price Club around 1980. Second, the quality/price ratio is excellent. I refuse to go to WalMart and have no reason to go there, when I can get everything I need at Costco or Trader Joes. I agree with you regarding perishables like salads and produce. I live alone and I hate to waste food, so I don't get anything that will go bad before I can finish it. Since I don't go shopping very often, buying large quantities of paper towels, bathroom tissue, etc is not a problem.

Interesting perspective in this WashPost article about trade-offs between fidelity (the quality of an experience) and convenience (the ease of getting it).

@JoeTaxpayer - Costco is indeed cheaper than most other stores but my go to place for beer has become Trader's Joe. They have a nice selection at a decent price.

@HallyZ. I agree that Costco's portions are big. However, there are some items that do not come in a big package and for others sometime you can get away with sharing. Recently, me and my sister shared some common items such as paper towels, food etc. form our Costco trip.

@Get Rich- Thanks for comment. I would never have thought Costco did sell caskets.

I'm surprised you say that about the beer.
24 case of Sam Adams is $24 at my Costco. 12 pack at my supermarket is $14.99. 20% cheaper at Costco, not bad. They've also introduced a private lable Kirkland beer at $18 the case. Not bad for a Costco micro-brewed beer.

crapCo? I should give the place a whirl sometime, but where would I put 50 rolls of Toilet paper? Or 3 tons of cereal?
