I also adore Costco! From there wonderful meats to there linens and don’t forget the FREE SAMPLES!! I don’t know everytime I go there I say “self im only here for eggs, ham, and one bottle of wine” inevitebly I end up walking out with one or two items I just had to have because the price was just way to good… It give’s me a warm fuzzy feeling buying it for soooo cheap! Ok ill admit I LOVE COSTCO!!! Oh and another thing I spend summers in Baja, Mexico and the Costco’s out there are just as great just with a upper class Mexican touch (luv the Jamon Serrano and baked goodies)…

Since Costco sells cheep food for you to munch on, it helps them out in that you can shop longer without leaving the store to grab a bite to eat, if you’re thinking of going out shopping, you can accomplish two things at the same time (lunch & groceries), and it fosters more of a small community feel.

I am a Costco fanatic, as well. Though I have yet to return anything, I constantly buy stuff saying, “well, if it’s no good, at least I can bring it back.” The generous return policy (including their own membership) says the stand by what they sell. They even return shipping fees on their online orders. I’m a big deal hunter, but when it comes to Costco I’ll pay more to have the peace of mind of the return policy and know that they cap margins. I can’t say enough good about Costco.

My wife Ellen is an avid (perhaps “rabid”) fan of Costco. I am a secret fan. Like other ‘guilty pleasures’ I do not like to admit that I like her presents of 4 pairs of black jeans from her Costco run. I love the sense of abundance - 4 pairs!

Cheap Churros aside … I would miss Costco if it were to go away tomorrow. Why? I trust their sense of quality with their merchandise mix. I respect their generous return policy. I value their fixed mark-up policy. I enjoy their treasure hunt mentality. I applaud the benefits and pay packages employees receive. There is not another retailer I know where I can get the same products with the same experience. They’ve earned me as a loyal shopper. Costco is definitely a business worthy of a weekend.
