  • Something that bothers me about Costco is trinkets. You go in to buy a coffee maker lets say. You find yourself a nice Keurig and think "Sweet! Membership has it's benefits, I'm going to get a great deal!" Except this is a "Special Edition Keurig". Why is it "Special Edition"? Because in the box is an assortment of trinkets.... and the value proposition begins! This is a $130 Keurig and $100 dollars worth of trinkets, yours today for only $179.99! It includes, a 'Special Edition Keurig keychain' (MSRP $30 dollars), a sampler pack of coffees that I have never and will never drink (including some fancy tea, I don't even like tea! MSRP $40 dollars) and a coupon book worth $100 dollars in savings, on your right to give us more of your money in future purchases (MSRP $30 dollars. If you don't like tea, then maybe you'll like some of the tea coupons in here.) I'm not into trinkets, nor 'trinkets as value'. If I'm here to buy a coffee maker, then that's all I want. Why can't you have a trinket add-on value pack for the trinket obsessed and leave the regular stuff alone? And why a Keurig keychain? Is Keurig a lifestyle brand all of a sudden? And if it is, why not something more visible like a bumper sticker? Nike does it and they're the biggest and best lifestyle brand. The Trinketism is so bad I'm afraid to buy a box of condoms, there's no telling what they'll throw in with that. Costco is great for stuff like some stuff like vitamins and OTC meds. Also good for everyday items like ketchup and pickles. Buying technology here is bad news. You can get the same stuff for at least 20 percent less and avoid paying sales tax by purchasing online. The meat is great meat! But very expensive compared to Food4Less, Von's or Smith's. And who needs to spend 7 dollars for 6 very nice apples? Shortcomings exist with every person and organization, for me what sets Costco apart is the food court. I don't need to tell you why. And they give you great gas. No not that kind. The kind for your car.
