Costco....whats so good about it?

Question

I have heard that costco is starting in Australia recenetly...what is so good...and different about them?

Answer 1

If you buy a LOT of one thing, you can get good prices.  Most of the time, I really don't but stuff from them for personal items, only stuff for the office.

Answer 2

Will be cheaper and carrying just about everything you could want to buy it will save fuel and parking fees ~~

Answer 3

They're a bulk wholesale club. Great if you've got a business that uses food or a very large family.

Typically families don't need to buy huge amounts of bulk food unless they are stockpiling for a nuclear war or want to become obese. ;)

Some people love Costco, some people think it's over-rated. Since I typically buy mostly fresh foods, Costco I can take or leave.

You may find it suits your needs. Do note that you need a membership, or at least you did. Usually you must be a business owner/professional or be referred by someone who is already a member. I suppose some people might think of Costco as an "elitist" club. ;)

These rules may have changed or be different in Aust. My advice to you is to check it out and go from there. I agree that the samples are said to be worth the trip. Go on a weekend with an empty stomach and sample away!

Answer 4

if you own a restaurant or store, you can buy items in bulk for very cheap. They're also great if you have a large family so you can save money. Costco's great, you will most certainly be please. Btw the food samples are great
