Is Costco Worth It?
Bulk Shopping and Membership Tiers
Costco is a US institution. It's a warehouse-style store where items are sold in bulk.
Membership Levels
- Gold Star ($65/year): The basic membership.
- Executive ($130/year): Gives you 2% cashback on most purchases. If you spend more than $3,250 a year, it pays for itself.
The Draw
- Gas: Their gas is almost always the cheapest in town.
- Rotisserie Chicken: A $4.99 staple.
- Kirkland Signature: Their house brand is legendary for high quality at low prices.
- Tires & Optical: Great deals on car maintenance and glasses.
Tip: Go on a weekday evening to avoid the weekend crowds!
