I, too, have belonged to Costco since it was Price Club. Actually, I have memberships to all three warehouses, Costco, Sam's and BJ's. Costco is my favorite, always has been. In CA, Costco was less than a mile from my house. We did most of our shopping there each week, supplementing what they didn't have, from the local grocery chain.
Costco has a great return policy and have had to use it once, for a mattress. Had a 5 year warranty and after 4 years and about 300 days, it had a sag in the middle. Couldn't notice the sag on visual, but it was apparent when you tried to sleep on it. They said, "return it and pick out another." No one even tried it to see if I was fibbing about the sag.
Their meats are amazing, Kirkland products are great. We still make a trip to Altamonte Springs every couple of months. Sam's is used more often, they are closer. BJ's we visit less often, but they have items available there that the other two stores do not. We've also used Costco online shopping....easy, fast and again, great values.
Costco is always a surprise....you never know what they might have, but do know if there is something you just cannot live without, it will be a good value and of great quality.
We have been just the two of us for years, and still use the warehouse stores for shopping.....just wish that Costco was a bit closer....we were spoiled having it so close to home for so many years!
