Neat short about Costco

I don't cook those often. The Business Center over in Westminster usually carries them, choice. I haven't noticed them at either Cypress or HB lately, but I haven't been looking for them.

Going to the Westminster Costco freaks me out!! 🤣🤣🤣😱😱😱

The first time I was at that Business Center I felt like I was in Disneyland for meat lovers once I discovered that section. It's dangerous for me to go there.

This YouTube video is an amusing tour of Costco in Paris. And yes, they have hot dogs for 1.5 Euros.

We have an executive membership at Costco. Our annual rebate more than covers the added fee. Plus, the store opens a half hour early for exec. members. That means it isn’t nearly as crowded shopping or checking out.

I shop after 10pm on Sunday to avoid crowds. Earlier in the day that crap can get dropped off on my front porch.

Not a problem for me, I have an aversion to shopping at big box stores with a cover charge.

I hear you John, I was the same. We are members to Sam's and Costco. We just signed up a few months ago for Costco and have been a Sam's member for a long time.

We check pricing often from the grocery stores vs the box stores and it is worth it to us to pay the entry fee. As a matter of fact, our plan was to let the Sam's expire and then just go with Costco, but we just might keep both.

Costco olive oil and balsamic vinegar, the priciest versions, are my go to for basic cooking. I am, admittedly, an olive oil snob and supporter of TJ Robinson's olive oil club.
They have a nice cheese selection, around the corner from all the proteins.
I am not much of a wine guy, but they have a bunch of inexpensive highly rated wines.

Single country? I can probably look it up.

Italy.

ReverseWineSnob.com recommends several Costco wines currently.

The return policies at Costco are really great. We made full use of our 90 day allowance with an LG induction stove that turned out to be a piece of junk. None of the appliance or big box stores had a similar policy, plus the stove was cheaper at Costco anyway.
