Um, why are we supposed to hate Costco?
Im not hating on them, just saying theyre overrated. But despite their generous return policies & employee pay, theyre a for-profit corporation like any other. Costco stock is up over 50% this year.

i buy enough on what they charge for executive (which i may forfeit next year) for the regular member card easily covers what i spend.

with gift cards i save about 60-120$ per year. plus savings on meatball and chicken tenderloin. carb smart tortilla. kraft cheese. eggs at times (sometimes supermarket is cheaper if on sale). tillamook cheese is mixed (sometimes cheaper at safeway) usually cheaper at costco.

I would say it's properly rated. I've only been a member for like 2 years and I love it. I also am only shopping for 2 and with once a month trips, we always finish everything. I also like buying bulk non-frozen stuff like eggs, and household goods like garbage bags, napkins and paper towels.

I don't give a damn about the free samples but the food court is GOATed. I actually crave the pizza.
How quaint.

You couldn't pay me to step foot in a Costco, I can't imagine a more torturous hell of a shopping experience

^that
Sell by date is NOT the expiration date. It is a warranty date if the product is in its undamaged original packaging.

Which grocery store chain is not for profit? I would definitely support them and would make different choices.
Why be stupid? Does it make you happy to be stupid?

I dont like Costco, but Im also not its target demographic. I can absolutely understand why a family would love shopping there.
