I find their prices are not much cheaper than other stores and good deals are rare. What is appealing is their return policy. People have told me they can return items months later. i don't think this applies to most electronics anymore.
Last year they had offered a $25 gift card for new memberships so check to see if that is still available.
Anyone shop there? What do u think of the prices & quality?
I don't have a Costco membership, but I have a Sam's one. It works for me. I shop there every week, and I've found some pretty good deals there. Quality's really good, I guess. It's really close to me, though. If it wasn't I wouldn't even consider it.
How much is the Sam's membership?
I used to shop at costco and i agree with Dogo, you dont save much. They'll package 3 deodorants and say they're $11. If you go to walmart and see how much an individual deodorant costs, if you buy 3, it'll come out to the same.
like i said, u really have to do ur homework if u want to save..... one thing tho, they do have some good sales on electronics from what i seen.

$45... it just so happens that this week they have an open house from Fri to Sun, so if you live near one, you can go check it out... I find it quite good... it's like Walmart, only they sell in bulk and cheaper, most of the time. Plus I love trying their samples... Yumm!!! Everyone I know that I've taken to shop there has ended up getting a membership... it's that good.

Costo..you gotta be careful not everything is a deal....sometimes it can be more expensive than buying in a regular store plus you dont go to cosco to spend 60 dollars be ready to spend over 100 bucks.
I like to buy meat in there chicken breast and sirloins are always cheap.
oh yes thats another thing u always have to keep ur eye on the flyers...... actually there is a lot of work u need to do before u buy at cosco, like comparing prices and checking all the deals in other stores.

u really need to know how much u r going to spend, I have a friend that goes to cosco but he has it all calculated he was telling me about it, how many times he has to go there and how much he has to spend in order to be worth it and save.
Depends how much you shop there. If you only go a handful of times a year, you don't save sh*t. What's the membership cost nowadays? $40, or something like that?

I shop there - I like the idea of buying in bulk (paper towels, toilet paper, liquid detergent, etc) and forget about buying those things for a while. In the long run, one saves a penny or two; but sometimes they do have some good stuff/deals.
