What are your favorite items to purchase at Costco?

I like the fresh produce, coffee, and fresh chicken breasts. I get prescriptions filled there, too. One time I bought an external hard drive.

It might be an East Coast thing. I wouldn't know. Basically a Sam's Club/Costco under a different name.

When I need a years supply of cornflakes I take the RV down there and get one of the helpers to load me up. I also get all my zip ties and duct tape while I'm there, and anything that technically isn't a foodstuff

Personally I take my ford F150 down and have them take palette upon palette of what I need and load it into the bed of my ford F150. Some days it takes multiple trips to get my yearly shopping list filled. Tis a shame the red baron palette is only 5x5.

eh unfortunately for the US these days that aint too bad for a cashier or cart collecting gig...especially if the wages are universal across the US it may actually enable u to live a basic life, contribute to making rent without worry of starvation, or dying penniless in the gutter because you happen to develop a medical condition.

maybe Costco doesn't even encourage their employees to sign up for welfare and food stamps either as a way to compensate for their lack of pay/benefits, with posters in the break room, while the employing corporation donates to politicians who will try their hardest to eliminate such benefits and shame the recipients (many of which are working 40+ hours a week). gda

The only thing unpleasant about Costco are the sample demo people who constantly ask, even when no one is in front of them, if anyone would like to try a sample. It's creepy that they ask without making eye contact.

So i looked at the BJ's wikipedia. Apparently it is just a east coast thing and sometimes ohio. Weird. I thought it was universal like costco/sam's club

Sucks they don't have Mexican Pepsi anymore. They had throwback Pepsi in glass bottles once, but it's not the same. Mexican Coke is nice but it goes bad quickly at the rate I drink it.

At mine, they run out of samples before they can look up.

I applied there recently. I like making people food and I'd probably be pretty happy just cranking out rotisserie chickens all day. Worse ways to make a living.

Nothing bad, just a lot of "You best be glad for this great opportunity." All of the dudes who were hired on with me were dying to stay post season though.

we buy a lot of stuff from costco. recently i've been baking their frozen chicken breasts for dinner pretty much every night.

also a nice little costco tip: the frozen yogurt from their food court owns.
