COSCO is not for Deal Hunters....

Costco is good for those who want to save money but do not to bother
looking into deals... (either too lazy or not sure how to find the deal
or just want to save the hassle of looking for the better price)

They think they saved a lot but in reality costco items is almost always
more expensive than some other stores in town.

To keep an average price is how costco running and luring people in to
think they get a good deal at costco. I dont think costco have items
with premium quality..
but with good quality at the best.


There are only a few items worth to buy from costco in my mind:

1) Insurance with free towing coverage (that's the reason i join
costco executive member)

2) Gas ( if you can not get discount GC for shell/bp esc)

3) Tire service

4) some fruits and vegetables like watermelon.

5) lamb. ( if you can not find safeway that sell lambs with coupon
discount)

6) FREE TASTE OF FOOD.. :)

7) ENTERTAINMENT TICKETS.

8) contact lense.. ( a good place to go if no insurance)

9) Costco have best return policy.

10) Always get a Executive membership cause you virtually have nothing
to lose.

why costco can not afford to have good deals:
Because they sell for average price and with pretty decent quality.. In order to maintain this.. they have to exclude any real deal from happening...

So costco is not for DEAL Hunters..
