| - Seriously, what's not to LOVE about Costco? Clothes, food, tires, gas, florist, pharmacy...this store has it all. This particular Costco is always immaculate (with the exception of the clothes area because people are slobs and destroy it). One thing that sets this Costco apart from the ones I have been to on the East Coast is that every day they give out food samples. Back East you could only get samples on the weekends. I've tried some really good stuff (kale, chicken garlic ravioli, pumpkin bread, Vitamix smoothies, coconut snacks, tea) and it has all been delicious.
The price of $55 per year for a standard (Gold) membership pays for itself with the discounts in gas alone. As a single girl living on my own, I don't need to buy food in bulk so I basically have the membership for toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, razor blades, and gas. The gas prices are normally 10-20 cents cheaper per gallon than the gas stations in the immediate area and there are 15 or so gas pumps to accommodate people wanting to fuel their vehicles.
I definitely prefer Costco to Sam's Club and love coming here. I always walk out with stuff I don't need but simply have to have! Good for Costco, bad for my wallet.
