Never been in one. Did the BJs thing a while back but meh.

It's Wal-Mart with member cards and bigger carts, and free food samples. If you want five gallons of mayonnaise you've come to the right place.

Pass on the Kirkland Beer
ETA But the Kirkland Rum and premixed Margarita mix is GTG |
|

Great place to buy meat, fuck it for everything else. Liberal cesspool.

the 3 by my house are always packed. fast check out lines tho.

They are very easygoing on returns. |

Costco portions are often too big for me, it's better if you have a family.
They are now starting to build the stores with car washes as well as the gas stations. I've been washing my Jeep there often lately. $8 and it does a pretty good job. |

They have good hot dogs
You can make a meal out of the free samples Their peanut butter pretzels are awesome They're anti gun |
|
Plan on spending a shitload.
We love it, but you gotta know their prices. Their return policy is amazing - I just returned a suitcase from 3 years ago (zipper broke) - not only did they refund my purchase price and tax, they refunded the shipping cost because I ordered online. |

food court is the best! can't get a better 1.50 lunch.
chocolate mango and salmon patties and chicken brest and organic smoothie blend ..you store might be different |

Say goodbye to your wallet. They are NOT a WalMart. (Sam's being the one owned by the Walton's, anyway)
They have mostly very high quality food and goods. Good deals on jewelery, watches, technology, etc Right now they have a Linksys AC 5400 router for 250. Basically 100 less than anywhere. I have bought both my Kamado Joe's there. I know they are lefties, but what I buy there pisses off liberals and aids me in my life as a productive conservative. |

Kirkland (Costco) brand organic extra virgin olive oil gets excellent marks from the people who judge that kind of stuff.
|
|
Have your card ready when you walk in the door or some old lady will take you to the ground.
|

Figure each item costs an average of $25. Four items and you're already at $100. It never fails . The polish dogs from the food court are the bomb.
It's the one place I go where I instantly want to start yelling at all the dumbass inconsiderate motherfuckers blocking the isles, walking slow as fuck and generally being brainless. It probably raises my blood pressure more than driving down to Seattle |

The $5 roasted whole chicken are amazing, but even that gets tiresome after a few, how many can you eat in a month? The small white sticker on the plastic container tells you the time it came out of the roaster. Seasonal products come and go pretty quickly. What's on the shelves changes a lot. Depending on your state laws you may be able to buy beer and wine without a membership. The Kirkland Golf Balls have an excellent reputation, but are hard to find anymore: https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-most-coveted-ball-in-golf-is-from-costco-1484832756 https://www.wsj.com/articles/costco-sues-titleist-in-battle-over-golf-balls-1490032558 Their membership fees are set to increase on June 1st: https://www.wsj.com/articles/costco-to-raise-membership-fees-higher-costs-take-toll-on-profit-1488492253 Their toilet paper is at the perfect balance between strength and softness You have to show your receipt to an employee at the exit who then checks your cart matches up with the receipt. |

Everything comes in multi-packs....which seems good.
But why do I need 3 Fleshlights? |

Um......
Costco's CEO is a Socialist Sellout who DONATED MILLIONS TO DNC candidates in exchange for building approval in Urban Areas Avoid it like the plague. |
|
Car batteries, LED shop lights, 3 ton floor jack, bulk bacon, eggs and booze should all go home with you
|
|
If you price shop you will notice that some products are cheaper elsewhere.
Their meat department is hard to beat. If you see that they have something you want, buy it. Some products are a one time deal or seasonal. Additional $1,000 rebate on Ford products. Good prices on tires. |
|
|
If you see something you want, buy it. Odds are it will be gone the next time you go.
|
|
Buy a foodsaver vac sealer.
Then you can buy stuff in bulk and even if you don't use it all right away, you can vac seal and freeze it for later. |
|
Unbeatable return policy. If I see something I want I buy it. If I like it I keep it, if not it goes back. I've also returned stuff that I used and broke, no questions asked.
The vodka in the big red bottle is excellent and cheap. Hmm, I'm going to have some tonight. |

View Quote We had a power washer from Costco that just crapped out after a year of light use. We called Costco out of frustration, not really expecting them to do anything about it, but they said to bring it in for a full refund which we just used to buy another from them. |

Booze.
TP. Paper towels. Thick cut Kirkland bacon. Bottled water. Rotisserie chickens. Take and bake pizzas. Food court hotdogs. Salmon with dill butter ready to bake meal. Olive oil. Meat. Ahi tuna steaks. Biggest fucking pot pie you have ever seen. etc... etc.. I could go on... |

Did anyone mention the little snackbar thing? Their Italian Sausage hotdog thing is delicious. As is their pizza. And it's all like 87¢!

And shrimp. And lobstertails, too! Try the Kirkland brands, a lot of them are frigging fantastic. Expect 87,000 customers and two registers to be open.

The halibit you have to fillet yourself is a steal.
$10.99/lb. Say hello to real lunchmeat also and not that fake crap. Buy a ham and turkey breast and cut it up into lunchmeat sizes. I buy all my meat, seafood, most veggies and non perishables there. Certain things are too big to be a good value but ziplock bags and your freezer can help with some of that. |

I have a Costco membership, but as a single guy I pretty much just break even on the membership cost per year.
I really don't need to buy toilet paper and other stuff by the pallet. I like their meat selection, some of the liquor/wine, and dog food - I really don't buy much else there. |

Kirkland Silver Tequila and the Kirkland margarita mix is the way to go, load up and enjoy.

Meats are quality and very well priced. Spices, Kirkland alcohol (if you have it,) and various finds are well worth it. Like everything else, a smart consumer can save lots of money.

I get a little freaked out by the size of the chicken breasts. Is it drugs, or do they put their chicks on the Wheel of Pain?
