IDEAL BULK BUY EXPERIENCE: the "other store"! I don't have to frequent it often but when I do, it is for essential items need in bulk at a reasonable price. My membership has more than paid for itself over the years from the early days of their original partnerships with AMEX to the current one with VISA as their form of payment when shopping...I mention this because of the year-to-date summary rewards received as part of the program when you sign-up not only for a membership but their CC which is linked to your membership thereby providing a percentage back on purchases. The store itself is nicely laid out with adequate space for customer traffic from as they shop! Design of product groupings are easily identifiable based on usage, popularity, and selling impact. The staff is friendly and helpful when needed and pleasant and expedient during the check out process. When not visiting the store directly, I use their online option to take care of specific needs for my extended family where you'll find great discounts not always featured in the store. Whether shopping in store or online, there are opportunities to satisfy your needs for those items you need to stock up on, whether for you or a loved one.
Another great shopping experience! Not much of a weekly/monthly shopper but sometimes the key supplies run out and then you have to answer the call for replenishment. Stopped in to pick up another round of bulk essentials; enjoyed seeing and engaging with some of the shoppers in the area as well as the staff who shared with me information about their membership executive plan. Although it was not for me, I am not the average routine shopper - if I were I'd get one in a minute. There are great benefits associated with it aside from the two-fold bonus payback for having the Visa card and the membership. The plan gives you 2% back from Visa and another 3% back from Costco on your total purchases each time. There are travel, vacation, roadside benefits and more. So much to think about, check it out to see if it's a fit for you and your shopping needs! 😎
More than just bulk buy: the warehouse also has a fueling station near the main entrance to the roadway making it easy to find and access. They provide a built in fuel discount as part of your club membership that can be accessed via your membership number assigned to your membership card or if you have the Visa Anywhere card which is linked to the account you can get the fuel discount when scanning the card into the pump. This is yet another opportunity to fight the fuel pump price grinch! They also provide diesel as do most locations. So, if you have a membership and one close by, take advantage of this benefit.
Time to restock - made a stop @ Costco to grab some household, workout trends, food and drinks.
