Great prices, good quality clothing, lots of good food. What more can you want?!

Polo RL qualifies as good clothing in my book. 'Cept it's $17 for a pair of jeans instead of $40 or $50.

Good food includes good quality meat, milk, perishables, party trays, etc. Mmmm.

Costco always stocks fresh fruits and veggies as well (the you really dont have to buy in bulk )

I know. It's great.

Only spent $66 this time, though, starting to pare down my budget for the coming school year.

Don't they only sell the old school jeans straight blue?

The ones I got tonight are a faded blue, definitely not straight blue (though they do have some Costco brand straight blue jeans, I have a pair of those as well).

I got a pair of stonewashed Costco-private label jeans a few years ago that still fit and look great.

 

[anxi80]

damn costco, damn it to hell.


cant walk out of there without spending *at least* $100. even if i plan to go in for just one thing. today, i was happy because i got out of there spending $84. of course, it doesnt really count considering i used a crapload of coupons.

They are, in fact, blue. Also straight. They don't have those idiotic fake "faded" spots on the front, if that's what you're asking.

They also sell a lot of other high quality name brand clothes - calvin klein, nautica, so on and so forth.

Also great food at great prices.

Costco kicks a$$.

 

[IAteYourMother]

their cherries oWN

 

[Bryophyte]

:heart: They're building a new store closer to my place, and it'll be the biggest one in the chain.

 

[geckojohn]

Costco pwns! i love going there.. they have a great foodcourt too!

 

[ponyo]

Anyone have membership to both Costco and Sams? Is it worth getting both? Merchandise that much different?

 

[jadinolf]

No one mentioned the 65+ old geezers that check your merchandise as you leave the store?

Ref: last nite's I hate Sam's Club thread.

 

[z0mb13]

I LOVEEEE costco... sooo many benefits

lifetime warranty for electronics..

free lifetime balancing and tire rotation if you buy tires there

the best produce around, yes even better than supermarkets

tons of samples in the weekend..

$1.50 hotdogs with soda!!

cheap books, clothes..

by the way for the clothes, they are not really made by the same factories that make the stuff that goes to actual stores.. they have their own factories that specializes to selling to costco.. they just brand them..

[GoingUp]

All I know is, my wife loves it when I wear my Costco RL jeans. And their Kirkland brand is pretty much the best "generic" brand you can buy... sometimes even better than the "name brand" counterparts.

Chris: Ahh

I'll agree, Costco is the good stuff. But their prices aren't that good. It's hard to shop there for 2 people as most of your food will rot before you can eat it. How am I supposed to eat 2 dozen enormous potatos... the price was great, but 8 of them will go bad =

For non-perishables they're usually awesome though

Perishables are usually just right for a family of three/four that makes their own meals daily. For a single bachelor (like me) I stick to non-perishables, things that won't go bad if I forget about them in the pantry for four months.

However, for 5 people, the stuff doesn't last any time at all. Yes, we WILL go throught 40 potatoes before they rot.
