Costco is superior in every way. Good riddance.

Sams club with a faked small business membership is the greatest thing ever. I can shop from 7-10AM before anyone else is allowed in the store. I’ll see maybe 10 other customers my entire time in the store.

Went to costco once and it was wall to wall people with a 30 minute check out. #neveragain

I've been to Costoco MANY times when it has been jammed and never waited more than 10 minutes.

Gasoline, OTC meds, and rotisserie chicken is also the name of Julie DiCaro's new podcast.

Is it worth it? We (I) think about it every year but never join. The one in Oak Brook is too crazy also.

I’ve heard the one in Oak Brook is Costco’s most trafficked location in the US.

But I get at least one single item each year that pays the entire year’s fee. In December I got a new car battery for $104. Best I could fine in local parts strores for the same amperage was about $160.

I believe it. No matter what day or time it looks packed. What's the fee?

I guess paper towels/toilet paper makes sense now that we have more storage but I don't need 5 pounds of grapes and the meat tastes funny. I don't buy a lot of inner aisle grocery stuff. The electronics and random stuff seems good and I think I'd like it when a party rolls around but I can't pull the trigger. When I've gone with friends I get $75 worth of crap I'm not sure I needed or would miss in the first place.

Never been to a Costco. Would like to go to one sometime. I would like to have seen Montana.

I think it’s now $60 per year. 3 kids, so we get all of our staples (toilet paper, bottled water, paper towels, Kleenex) there. Store on shelves in the garage. We don’t buy much fresh food, as the quantities are too large. They do have prime steaks, though, which are great.

Another quick example od a good deal is that my kids needed passport photos this year—it was $5 each at Costco. Probably twice that at Walgreens. I feel confident that we recover the annual fee each year. And booze is really cheap.

I'm almost convinced. I never do it though...

Where are you going?

I'm a little worried this will embolden Costco to raise membership fees again, but I get so much value out of them just from rental car savings, gasoline, OTC meds, and rotisserie chicken that I'd probably still pay it.



I know nothing about Costco but I would guess this is where you will find your living wage surcharge. But if people decide to pay it and everyone is cool then that is how it should be.

You speak alot about topics you know nothing about.

You eat a lot of dicks.

Enough with the bullshit condescension, Slick.

Wow, lots of people trying to fit their agenda into this story.

I can't figure out why people with no spouse/no kids are shopping at places for 60-packs of toilet paper and the double gallon jugs of Hidden Valley ranch?

Or more importantly, why they feel so strongly about the feelings of the places where they shop for these things?

Why, I was in Costco just today! The one by the Leaning Tower Y, very cosmopolitan. Costco is great during the waning days of New year's resolution season. Pallets of gallon jugs of Creatine powder ceding ground to pallets of Buffalo Wing-flavored Cheez-its.

The one in Bolingbrook is relatively quiet.

I think it is worth it, and I live alone. I don't buy too much food, but I buy all of the twice/year purchases such as toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, aspirin, stuff like that. And I usually save $2 on a 3/4 tank (15 gallons out of 18) of gas.

I'm looking for a few like-minded free spirit venture capitalists to underwrite Telegram Sam's Club.

It's a 36 pack of toilet paper. It's a good price, and I have space in my garage for it. And I like the convenience of having a list of 20-25 things which I buy there once a year and there's enough to last me.

I've always thought that a charity should give Costco memberships away to poor people. Six families can split that 36-pack of toilet paper once a month and each save $1-2. When I lived closer to it, I swear the Northlake Sam's Club had Mexican families doing that, buying stuff like toilet paper to resell to their neighbors. They'd walk out of there with $400 worth of stuff in three shopping carts.
