| - I love Costco! I grew up shopping at Costco with my mom. I even converted my husband; he cannot resist buying in bulk now that he's found Costco.
However, my one complaint (but doesn't impact its star-worthiness) is that they would carry more Eco-friendly products (i.e., Seventh Generation)...it seems like that would fit perfectly with the bulk philosophy.
They have a great incentive to apply for an AMEX card. If you don't have one, you'll have to use debit or cash; they do not take credit cards except AMEX. Who doesn't want cash back for shopping?! You can even get a risk-free membership that you pay $100, but get $50 back or you can pay only $50 and still get a membership (I can't remember the difference now, but boy did the employee make a good sale!).
Like others have warned, If you aren't disciplined or have a list, you will walk away with things you never knew you needed but so glad you found: fire extinguishers, dual-flush toilet converter, a giant box of holiday bows... I'm impressed that they are adding more ethnic groceries too: grape leaves, seaweed wrap, etc.
