Mucn better quality than we get at the lovely market in our one horse town.

goodness posted:Does Costco have family memberships and if so can I get one if I am in a different state than they are A normal personal Costco account can have 2 card, they are good not only in the US but in other Costco locations around the world (UK, Canada, Mexico, Japan, maybe a few others). If you get a business account, you get 2 ppl for free for the membership fee, then each additional 2 cards is an extra $20/yr. Me and my wife used to be on my parents' business membership before they dropped it and went to a personal card, and we lived in a different state from them. To get added though you have to go in with one of the primary card holders to authorize you on the account. IDK if you have to have a legit business or can just go in and say I'm a sole proprietership and get a business membership tho.

Kelp Me! posted:lol they're supposed to check your membership card against your form of payment at the registers but they're not super thorough about it. My dad's got a corporate membership and I used his card to buy some housewares a while back. Everything was OK until a manager happened to walk by, took a closer look and realized my credit card and the membership card didn't match. She got suuuuuuuper pissed at me, but gently caress it - transaction was already done so there's nothing she could do, and like I told her: I didn't know that was a rule, and maybe get mad at your employee for not catching it rather than a customer for doing it unintentionally. If you have a corporate account you can get a blank card that allows whoever has it to make a purchase. Only caveat is they cant pay with a personal check, only cash, debit/Visa, or business check from the company who holds the account.

ArtIsResistance posted:Costco's actually really expensive and you'll spend more on goods that aren't 20 bars of soap Costco, as policy, won't mark up any item they sell more than 15% (thats why investors bitch about Costco even though they get their 4.75 hot dog per share dividends). You local grocery store will have better deals on some things because they often advertise deals that are loss leaders to get you in the store to buy a cartload of overpriced poo poo because you just have to get that celery for 59 cents. Plus, as stated before, Costco's quality is much higher, especially on things like meat. If you want you dog food reject meat for 50 cents/pound less, go ahead. Ill keep going to Costco, buy a slab of meat, and seal up what I dont use with my Costco purchased food saver vacuum sealer and freeze that sweet Costco goodness for another day.

Taima posted:I've never bought seaweed snacks at the Asian market, but it's worth noting that the Costco packages are chock full of seaweed. Literally 400-500% more sheets than other white person sources. I don't know how that stacks up to the asian markets but it's worth considering. Not only do you get 2-3x the amount vs the Asian grocery store, the Costco seaweed sheets are bigger too. Not sure the proportion, but I'd say 1.5-2x bigger.

Marklar posted:Who are these heathens that are not returning carts to the store, and are instead using them to carry stuff back to their dwellings? As a kid, the grocery stores would pay you $5 if you found a cart and called it in. Some guy in a flat bed truck would come out, pick it up, and give you a Lincoln as a reward. He didn't give a poo poo, Im sure for every $5 they paid out they got 10x back from the grocery store. Was a great racket for a few years until they figured out 95% of the carts were being taken by kids who'd then call it in.

Costco memberships are good at all their locations all over the world. Take a quick trip to the US east coast, get a 'Co membership, and the savings in a year would have paid for your plane trip. You can just renew online after that. Im not sure if Executive membership cash back works outside the US, but if it does, even more savings. Ill be in London next month and gonna hit up the 'Co up near Wembley (since it's the only one remotely close to a Tube station) to expand my Costco culinary horizons with a shepard's pie and a jacket potato.

Geoj posted:Wow, its almost like people don't want to pay a membership fee to buy the same poo poo you can get at Walmart at a slightly discounted price or higher volume. I made the grave mistake once of trying to serve two gods, the one true god Costco and the pretender Sams Club. Got one of those groupon deals I think for something like a half price membership and a bunch of freebies. Some of the areas I travel to have more Sams than Costcos, plus its never usually nearly as busy. Going to Sams reminded me of the time I bought a netbook instead of a real laptop because they were smaller and cheaper. It was like 95% of the size of a full sized laptop keyboard, but drat was that thing near impossible to type on with fat goon fingers. Thats what Sams felt like to me: almost like Costco but just didnt feel right. When the membership ended, I swore to the one true god Costco I would never stray from the flock again.

The Lord of Savings has shined his light upon the uninitiated and has a sign up bonus for new members to the fold. For $60 you get the gold star membership, a $20 Costco Cash card, and a $25 off $250+ coupon for costco.com. The Lord of Savings doesnt offer deals like these often, if you've been curious now is the time to enter the baptism of membership: https://costcomembershipoffer.com/purchase/open/RMN edit: Looks like if you buy two of them you get upgraded to the Holy of Holies executive membership. No mention if you get double gift cards or coupons tho.

GORDON posted:Flying into Vegas next month to do some hiking around the southwest, for 10 days. I'd like to hit a Costco after I land to stock up on water, Gatorade, protein bars, etc.... I see there is a "Costco Business Center" near my hotel. What is that? I don't have a "Business Center" near me.... can I get the things I want to get, there, or do I need to go a little out of my way and hit the regular Costco on the north end of town? As long as you don't need much in the way of food beyond packaged snacks, you'll be ok. Some stuff will be in even bigger packages than regular Costco items, like if you want hot dogs, they dont come in the 4 lb package or whatever, they come in like a 20 lb box. I haven't been in the MLK Costco since they changed it to a business center but IDK if they will have booze or not. I know they took the gas station out before the conversion.

"uuuhhh my balls taste soooo good, you know you want them" ect. He was yelling it like that scene in pretty woman while hip thrusting the table. Those traveling roadshow vendors don't work for Costco. Neither do the demo people, they are hired by an outside company who contracts with Costco. They don't enjoy the blessings of working for the church. Maybe that's why he was trying to get fired, he saw the promised land and couldn't take being denied the blessings of serving the true capitalist Lord as the Costco employees enjoy.

Been having allergy probs and just got the Kirkland Zyrtec equivelent and 5 bottles of Kirkland Flonase for what one bottle goes for locally. I also order stuff from Costco on Google Express from time to time. GE charges the tax of the area they ship from (my stuff has been shipped from the Bay Area, CA, and they always charge me 10% sales tax) but you can ususally find a coupon, sometimes up to 25% off for GE.
