Reply to comment by ijustmetuandiloveu in “Quality” products from “Quality” retailers by reptomcraddick

I didn’t think of CostCo, I’ve never been a member as my parents aren’t and as a single person I don’t really have a need, but me and my roommate go every few months, she has a membership, I love their pesto

That’s a really solid answer, definitely more food and consumable related than say a Kmart or Sears but definitely more “stuff” than a grocery store

If you’d like to shop more often or on your own ask your roommate to get you a bunch of low value gift cards. You don’t need a membership to shop with a gift card and you can pay any overage yourself so it’s fine to get $5 cards to use for this purpose. You just won’t be able to use the gas station.

Pretty sure they don't let you do this anymore, if you don't have a membership you can only use your gift card amount as currency

I mean I can always just borrow her card if I really want to, but normally we got together or she texts me to ask what I want and then I just venmo her

Costco also mandated that it’s partner brands only take from 11%-15% margin, so you know you aren’t being gouged.

If a brand refuses (many can’t even operate with that small of a margin) Costco has been known to private label that product.
