^ yeah, bulk good cheese owns bones what I really go for are the appliances/electronics. you save tons usually being able to get the next tier thing for an equal price, the selection is more limited but has a good enough variety/testing that you get what you need and want if you're not a huge dumb baby and hung up on specific brands, and the warranty is literally the best thing that borderlines on unfair to Costco if you buy something like a tv/laptop/vacuum cleaner once a year you've basically made up the membership difference and then can shove your face full of $1.50 hot dogs the rest of the time also bulk socks/undewear edit: the fat slogs slogging up the aisles can lose mobility under their own weight and die a slow death. going on saturdays is the loving worst thing ever if you're a seek and destroy type shopper DrPossum fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Mar 27, 2015 |

They always seem to have good prices on seasonal poo poo like snowblowers and grills too. I'm also pretty sure they have a badass pre-made mac & cheese that you just put in the oven for a while. My crappy town doesn't have one though.

My best Costco experience was when this little black kid was selling free samples of chocolates. He basically recreated the scene from When Harry Met Sally. "Come try my chocolate balls. oooooohhhh! They're soooo good yeahhhh. Put them in your mouth YES YES!" The whole isle way dying laughing. This went on for like 10 minutes till some dickhole manager made him do something else. That kid sold a poo poo of of chocolates though

I finally went to a Costco last weekend. It was a little underwhelming. Too crowded with morbidly obese people. Good prices on some gourmet stuff like a big wheel of brie and tubs of hummus for cheap. I tried finding some more pants for me, but most of what they had left were size 46+

they have pretty good deals on poo poo like giftcards/movie tickets/dinner voucher thingies a lot of the time, every time me and my pal who i'm practically gay w/ go and see a movie we stop there first since we end up saving like 4bux on tickets each and it's on the way anyhow (and usually it's a way to pregame cheap food because i'm simultaneously fat and poor)

I don't know about all you foreigners but in AMERICA Costco is great for meats. You can get super cheap prime or choice beef there that I don't ever see beaten elsewhere. Also I am in the Boston area and the store is always filled with Chinese people not fat people. EDIT: Wild Sockeye Salmon was so loving cheap this year also. I think it was down to around 8 a lb at my store.

What does a costco membership cost these days ('Murica)? I buy stuff there sometimes but I always go with someone else and mooch off of their membership. I am a drain on society. Rallos fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Mar 27, 2015 |

I think it's $50-60. You get a free pack of toilet paper, a rotisserie chicken, giant apple pie, and a tote bag, plus a coupon book. God bless America.

For all I know there's like one guy with a membership to Costco. I recommend befriending him. He's from Ghana and the only word of English he knows is "OKAY."

55 a year for regular and 110 for executive. Executive gives 2% cash back and easily pays for the 55 dollar difference for me. It actually pays for the entire membership and gives me some cash in pocket.

I heard once that Costco doesn't treat their employees like they work at Walmart and I wondered "how can that be." wonder no more.

I'd probably spend a lot more there if I had my own membership so I'm not sure if that's a good thing or if I'd just end up buying a ton more dumb poo poo because "hurr durr its cheaper in bulk" I heard they actually pay their employees pretty well. I'm not sure how much, but it's something that I've heard more than a few times.

Executive gets you a free AMEX card which means you can use a credit card in Costco and pocket an extra 1% Liquor is cheaper than what you get at the grocery store or BevMo. Especially if you just get the Kirkland brand WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Keep in mind if you get a membership and don't like it, you can just march up to the Membership desk and ask for a refund. Giant loving rotisserie chickens for $5 are awesome. Their bakery's pretty loving great too. If you gotta bring some breakfast for work or whatnot, you can get a dozen giant-rear end muffins for $7 or bagels for $6.

THAT MAKES IT WORTH WHILE. SOME KIRKLAND BRANDED ITEMS ARE ACTUALLY VERY GOOD GO TO COSTCO OP DEPENDING ON YOUR REGION I WOULD LIMIT YOUR VISITS TO MIDDAY HOURS THOUGH AND STRICTLY AVOID WEEKENDS
