Their meat quality is excellent. Also when you buy an executive membership the warranty is if you do not save at least the extra you pay, they will refund the difference! I am not sure what frozen products Costco has. I cannot think of any right now. Another point is the warranty: Satisfaction Guaranteed and NO time limit.
Soon I will be taking back the ones made of perforated aluminum. They do not work either. Where else can you get a warranty like that??? Also I am confused because I read comments here that seem to be referring to American Express which has been replaced by CapitalOne Mastercard with a cashback policy.
I had Costco executive membership for about 3 years and finally decided to give up. Pricing is quite of a game and they are not really better but worse than others. They keep models that are not available in other places most time and spec wise these models are poorer. Their groceries are always over frozen, most times having freezer burn and while brought home would not last as long. Their business strategy is quite deceiving.
How could you not shop at Costco? Costco 12 for 3. Ski helmets are half the price of a sporting goods store. Lawn fertilizer, Half the price kg for Kg at Home depot. The little fitting that tells you how full your propane tank is we have a propane cooktop.
Is Costco worth it? Your damn right it is. BUT, you need to know the prices of stuff you buy and compare. Today cheese was cheaper elsewhere. Pure OJ is half the price at Superstore this week. Price compare the cost per kg, ml and you will save.
That is a weird circumstance Murray. It is simply courtesy. Everyone understands the prices and people will shop at Costco as long as their prices are lower and the quality is there! While we will not be members our daughters in Ottawa can pick up the few things that we need.
Even for a family is very hard to justify large bulk packages, you have to be very disciplined in meal planning to use everything. Gas mentioned in previous posts is a great bonus, but very few locations in GTA have a gas station. So my answer to question whether Costco is worth their membership is a big NO. Get some friends or extended family together, and figure out what you all need, and split up the multiple packaging — and the cost.
Or, a variety pack of canned soup — if you only like one type, someone else could use the rest. My kids love the silly face that gets drawn on the receipt by the bag checkers. That and the sample food are the highlights of shopping at Costco for them at least. I used to LOVE the sample food as a kid. I was probably the one that the employees hated, always trying to sneak in for an extra! I get the executive membership. My in-laws use this every year to get a free membership as they never buy enough to make the executive membership cost effective.
We buy at least every week… so save right there the costs of the membership. And I would join solely for their return policy. Cost is definitely high quality at a value. One of the American channels aired how Costco operates and about their Ceo, Google it, it validates the general consensus here.
They test each and every products at their Seattle hq before putting on the shelves. They let you shop there with a gc, no membership required. BB — Thats true! That will be good for 5 visits to Costco! No membership required and good for a while! Bf swears by it for the tires alone. Apparently they are much cheaper and the warranty is much better than buying elsewhere. We also find that the cheese and deli meats are good values. The last time she came to visit, after the costco trip, I found her and my mum in a state of what I can only call retail-hangover.
Aunt Trina had purchased so many items that were such good deals! One of these was the label maker. She was looking at it like it was a disappointing one night stand. I told her how cool it was and she looked at me with unmixed disgust. She took it with her when she went home — but what do you think her wedding gift to my husband and I was?
We do use what we buy. Costco also has coupons so that we can save even more money off their regular prices. Best thing at Costco are those pork tenderloins, the one that weighs 5 or 6 pounds.
Definitely worth it. We used to have a card, it was supplied with work, but rolled back during the 08 cut backs ; however, I must agree with you and the pork tenderloins!! We have a super small farmhouse with no storage room. Trust me if I could swing it we probally would have a card. In reality you never save anything for this is a sales ploy. The price is the price no matter how you slice it. Actually we just buy the regular package of pork chops and I slice them in half.
I had a Costco membership and I let it expire. I found that Target had similar prices and thought it did not matter. I rejoined Costco for one reason, gasoline! There are a few other things I buy there is an advantage. If you need a large number of stamps, Costco is one of the few places where they are a bit cheaper than the post office. Koala- Oh yes… I have always been tempted to buy that huge roll of stamps haha.. So I have always heard so many good remarks about the meat.
Do they have Organic or Grass Fed meats? Wlel they meat is good but nothing that great. They have cheap filet mignon although not triple A but much better than the ones wrapped in plastic they sell at the grocery stores when they are on sale.
We sitll get the same quality at lower price when we wait for a discount at a local supermarket here in Montreal. But grocery stores you have to go to many stores and also different weeks.. Things like pine nuts and parmesan brick are at the lowest price possible at Costco. And just for the steaks I will never give-up my Costco membership! Hmmm, do you think they might be using more preservatives? Perhaps carcinogens? Just a thought… Same goes for salads and fresh fruits… Who knows, I could be wrong too….
My first comment is for those who use it mostly for the cheap dispensing fees in the pharmacy. And there are some products that are always cheapest at Costco—you just have to know what the good prices are for things you buy. A leading-edge research firm focused on digital transformation.
