I am single but I shop at Costco for everything I can. Costco has the best return policies, warranties and prices. It sells only quality items. I have bought electronics including TV's and computers, luggage, wooden wall cabinets, picture frames, steel garage shelving, various tools, plastic trash bags, TP, napkins, kleenex, books, coffee makers, coffee, distilled liquor as well as beer and wine, bottled water, steaks, crab legs, frozen crab cakes, hamburgers and wild salmon patties, salmon, guacamole, hummus, dried fruits, fresh fruit and vegetables, almond milk, oatmeal, and spices. I buy my prescription eyeglasses there and obtain prescriptions and vitamins and other supplements there. I buy socks, jackets, shirts and pants there. I could go on and on.

Once I was in a Costco which had imported some wonderful European tapestries. The were large (63" x 87"), woven on 19th century style looms in France/Italy and close to a thousand dollars each. I was looking and looking at them until a couple who had lived in Europe for a number of years approached me. The man said "If you want any of these you should jump at the chance. They are the real thing and would cost two to three times this much in Europe. I know because we have a tapestry collection we acquired in Europe." I bought two along with the hardware and tassels to hang them and enjoy them every day. BTW they had all been sold the next time I went to that Costco.

A few years ago I was in Egypt. A man who was a pretty high up fellow was taking us around. He wore a suit every day but one. On that day he was wearing a pair of jeans having the Kirkland (Costco) label on them. I asked him where he got them in Cairo, that I did not know there was a Costco there. He smiled and told me his brother who lives in the USA had sent them to him.
