Oh Costco, let me count the ways

I'm a value shopper by nature... i just can't shake it. If the deal is good enough, I'll buy 2 even though i only need 1. Value doesn't mean buying the cheapest thing... it just means getting the most for your money. So you can obviously see why a place like Costco would appeal to someone like me because this place has high quality merchandise at the best prices around. In turn for that benefit you give up a couple things, like selection (even though i personally prefer the … more

Best place for quick gifts!

Last week, I had to rush all of my Christmas shopping right at the very last minute. When I say last minute, I mean hurrying after work before Costco closes so I can pick something up on the way to my friend's gift exchange that same night. I get pretty stressed about getting people gifts, and so I'm usually not one to jump on the chance to do some holiday shopping. Thankfully, Costco saves the day in a lot of ways. Here is why: Value packs, FTW! I'm … more

Costco Wine: Great juice at a great price

Everyone living in San Diego is very familiar with Costco and I've long been intending to share my thoughts about the bountiful bargains to be found at your local Costco wine section. This being only my second post in what I hope will become familiar advice to the many old and new oenophiles alike about the best place in our wonderful city to purchase wine. There you are considering purchasing wine at Costco, where it does seem a bit out of place with multi-packs … more

Always on my Costco shopping list: brownie mix, wine, TP, paper towels. The downside of Costco? The parking lot. No matter what city you're in, the Costco parking lot is a place to practice your patience.

my jury's still out on costco... there's a lot to like, but I recently came across some disturbing info about the fish they purchase (questionable corporate responsibility practices), and also question the value of the membership for what we really get out of it.

Costco Crossaints

I pretty much love all things Costco. How can you argue with a place that will sell you a two year supply of toilet paper for 15 dollars. But, one of the best things about Costco is those Crossaints. As you can see below, these are not exactly what you would call healthy eating. The reason I decided to write this review is so I could share my tip on how to enjoy Costco crossaints without becoming fat and eating them all the first week you get them. Energy 339 kcal Protein … more

A Costco built for two

I've just renewed my membership at Costco for the second time, and I'm telling you, I'll do it again. I joined because I am a party girl. And Costco is a GREAT place to go if you're throwing a party - there are amazing deals on wine and beer, pre-made party trays ready to throw on the table, giant bags of chips and vats of salsa, all at wholesale prices. It's a steal. Since then, I've gotten married. And Costco was a gal's best … more

Aint no party like a Costco party

I dont know why but I cannot walk through Costco without spending anything less than $300. I golf about twice a year so do I really need 10 pairs of golfing gloves? You bet I do! Its so hard not to wanna scoop up all the great deals Costco provides and you dont have to have a large family to enjoy these savings. Unless you are having a party, buying food or beverages at Costco for a couple people doesnt really make sense. Im not big into storing food for an extended period … more

I love everything but your jeans.

When I lived in England, there was no Costco and when I visited friends in Texas, I saw one for the first time and my consumer virginity was instantly taken. Shopping in England is a bland experience devoid of consumerism, whereas shopping here is part of the fabric of the American Dream. When Costco announced they were opening their first store in the UK in the mid-90s, I was literally hammering down their door - my membership number was 0000000006. Ever since then, I'd sworn never to … more

How do I love thee..let me count the ways...

I go to Costco for books and toilet paper, sometimes shampoo...or if I'm feeling particularly adventurous, a 10 lb. wheel of cheese. Pretty much anything you're looking for, this place has it. In bulk. The positives: Books, music, and movies usually for less than you'd find anywhere else. They are a huge chain which makes it very easy to find a location near you. It's like how I wish my iPhone battery would work. Once fully charged, you only have to … more

Great for just about anything!

I love Costco for more reasons than their low prices. Costco is also a very socially responsible company. Its employees earn far higher wages than other, competing wholesale warehouse retailers (like Sam's Club) and Costco's CEO doesn't earn what you'd expect from your typical huge, successful corporation. But beyond their socially-beneficial corporate practices, Costco is good for just about anything, from photo printing, to food, to car tires! In addition, they have an excellent … more
