Costco is a devil!

I like the free samples and cheap beer.

Free samples for life

One of the best lessons to learn is to never buy something that is not **exactly** what you need or want, or at least the very-closest possible alternate or substitute. It's a lesson I've been teaching my young son for several years now; if we go to a store looking for a product, and the store does not have exactly what we want, we do NOT buy "something, anything", just to satisfy some shopping impulse...we leave with the money we came in with. In the long run, in today's world of diminished retail inventory and just-in-time restocking, it's often a better idea to shop on-line and order a product off the world wide web, and then to make 100% sure the product is AT the store...before going to the store and picking up the merchandise.

Secondly...when shopping at retail for specialty products, it's not smart to expect to be able to find specialty products at warehouse discount stores, or grocery stores,etc..

I try to buy only things that are made in Britain I don't mind paying more but I failed with my cameras cars and motorbikes

When I go into Costco I just hook up an exhaust tube to my wallet. Sucks the money right out!

My closest Costco is about a 25 minute drive, so I don't get there as much as I might otherwise. I do have prints made there from time to time.

We went to Costco to sign up for a $55 membership and not buy anything. $350 later...

I wish there were a Costco close to me. The nearest one is over 200 miles away.

$350 later...

The exact reason we stopped our membership. We either bought things we didn't need or bought at volumes we didn't need.

 

[minicoop1985]

Oh we didn't buy what we don't need. We just didn't realize we needed it yet.

Well you can always fill up the tank. I found that high test gas there is cheaper than anything else around. Of course, it might be gas made in China.

Costco is selling Nikon and canon.

Costco is funny! Yesterday I got my aunt to pick me up a 32gb SD card.

Packaging for days!

I never get out of Sam's Club less than $200. I buy laundry soap, paper plates, garbage bags, paper towels, TP, and cooking wraps. Personally, I think paper towels and plates are a waste of money but got to keep wife happy.

They have to make everything big there, lest you miss it amongst all the other big things.
