Harleyman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 We have Gold Star membership. Works fine for us. I like their selection of wines. Buy in bulk, save money and it's not the dollar plonk stuff either. Also love their big bar-b-q chickens and tortilla soup. Recently bought a two years supply of disposable razors. 34 bucks total. You cant beat that!!! Shop Costco today and save ! save ! save ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harleyman Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Do branches in the US have much bigger selections too ? I've never been in a UK Costco so the comparison would be hard to make. The stores here are pretty big inside. Bigger than aircraft hangers some of them look like. They sell a lot of different merchandise but often the selection on that particular piece of merchandise isnt all that big except for the booze section. It's particularly limited on lap tops, iPads, TVs, home theatres and the like. I've had some good deals on tires for the cars and the truck We also have Sams Club (owned by Walmart) which are are the same kind as Costco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
