Costco is one of the few decent company’s in this awful world. They are doing everything mostly right as far as running a business goes.

I guess it depends on location. Here in Japan you can find most types of foodstuff cheaper in normal supermarkets

(For example they sell 4.5kg oatmeal for ¥1400 at costco but 500g sells for ¥115 in jp supermarkets)

Jeez it’s just one example. All the other stuff i’ve seen wasnt any better (olive oil/cheese/meat etc). you’d expect big savings in exchange for paid membership
