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!
