The Complaint Thread
KCee My wife loves Costco too, but I'm not as big a fan. There are some good deals, but now that it's usually just 2 of us in the house I think there are fewer deals to be had.
My Costco is 30 miles away so I don't go there often. I mainly keep my membership because of their hearing aid center. With only two of us we would go every few months and stock up, mostly meat and freeze it. With only me in the house now I don't know how often I will get there. The thing I like mostly about Costco is not cost savings but the quality of their store brand (Kirkland) products and their meat counter. The Kirkland albacore tuna is wonderful as is their bacon. The last time there I bought about $400 in ribeye and strip steaks. They were about 1.5" thick and great quality. And at about $10-12 per pound compared to $15 or more at local groceries was a great deal. (Price was last Oct.) I freeze them and have never had one go bad before. The one big dislike I have of Costco is finding stuff. You never know where stuff is going to be and pretty much have to walk the aisles which is getting more difficult for this old geezer each year. The crowd and parking can be an issue but you have to learn when the best times to shop are.

sdandrea1 More so, act as they fixed it and re-hack the timeline to start over. Plus, charge you for the "re-design". Waiting for the shit to happen once DOGE shows up.
I still think about the time the hook was too short to catch the wire.
Rickochet The closest to me is El Paso, 45 miles, and not worth it. Letting my membership drop this May. Not sure if they get paid, but the El Paso COSTCO shares a large goofy shopping center parking lot plus every Dentist in Juárez offers to pick people up at COSTCO and bring them across the border for cheap, but quality, dental work. The place is busy but not so much inside the COSTCO.
Walterjn Some stuff you can order online and pickup there. It's still a crazy crowded sh*t show though lol. A lot of their stuff you can't order online even for in-store pickup. Maybe that's just our stores in CT though. I notice ours tend not to have a lot of things others talk about getting at Costco.
rsvman2 Yes I've used my pro shop credit to get $20+ gloves from Titleist or TM and I think the Kirklands are better. They are definitely longer lasting. TBH my favorite gloves are the cheaper ones with less leather and more stretchy nylon like the Zero Friction or Etonic. When those are on sale I buy them, but lately I have been using Kirkland.

My nearest Costco, and the one I am a member at, is 75-80 miles away. We still like being members there and although
I'm not sure it's financially worth it we will remain members. Heck, we've treated it like a day out at times and go to
a little diner in the same city for breakfast (they make the BEST omelets) and then go to Costco and buy whatever,
followed by the trip home. We are also members at Sam's Club in the same city but only because I got a membership
for just $20 at an on line site.
I'm 5 minutes from a Costco.
Complaint.
Why do I now have to login every time even though I checked ‘remember me’. ?
