| - Yes, I am still a fan. Still a member. I would be remiss if I didn't mention also that I'm a stockholder. This place is so crowded all the time how could I not buy the stock?!
I still find a lot of great stuff here at good prices. The selection changes from time to time. Right now they have begun to stock their spring/summer stuff. Jumbo weed killer, swimsuits, storage sheds, patio furniture, Turbo Tax (the cheapest you can find it anywhere is here at Costco), and more. Plus the usual stuff like big packs of pasta, toilet paper, olive oil, rice (several kinds), cereals, butter, tortilla chips, bread, meat, and a lot more.
We bought the large storage shed two years ago (they have another one now), plus at various times some of their furniture, some clothes, our washer/dry pair (when we moved into our new house several years ago), toilet paper (of course!), butter quarters, chips, tomato bisque soup, oil, pasta, bags of rice, bags of sugar, I'm still working on my bag of salt from 20 years ago (no, I'm not kidding...big bag for cheap and we still have a little left), I always get my Roundup here (much cheaper than Home Depot), garden cart and accessories, and much more.
If you get your fuel here you'll probably save enough to pay for your membership just from that.
Their return policy is excellent, their value is excellent, their quality is generally very good; probably the only downers are that you have to get your stuff home yourself (e.g. hope you have a pickup truck to get the shed home!), and the sales people don't have the product knowledge you would find in a specialty store. But if you know what you want, that isn't a big deal, in my opinion.
As a member you're also entitled to visit the Business Center store at 33rd Avenue (they have different stuff there...I reviewed them a while back), and also to utilize their car rental discounts, travel services, insurance services, auto center (mostly tires and batteries, I believe), optical, pharmacy, photo center, and everything else.
Costco is the first place I look for something. If they don't have it then I'll go elsewhere, but I come here first.
Note that they are discontinuing their American Express card in April. It will be replaced with a VISA card. So my previous comments about AMEX in my old review don't apply anymore. But they will accept the VISA, there will be no annual fee, and you'll still earn reward points that will show up as a check every year.
