The Costco Shopping During Pandemic Experience

Sunny, I agree that Costco is a great place to shop, but anyone paying $4k OVER list price needs to go back to the bargaining table.

I beg your pardon, C'est Moi, you are absolutely right. I meant "dealer's cost price," not "list price." šŸ˜
 

Nearest Costco is a 25 minute drive, so we go to Sam's. Haven't been since February. Dave does the shopping now but yesterday we both went to Randall's. He wore his wood working face shield, I wore a mask. All the employees were masked. Randall's is our high end grocery with prices to match. They were pretty well stocked, except for the paper aisle, the bake aisle, and hand sanitizer. Ironically, there was toilet paper but no napkins, except party napkins. No flour, no yeast. Not crowded. In no way id it feel like a normal trip to the grocery store.
 
Never had a need for these members-only places and don't have the room to store the bulk products, or to share with family members....
my son and fam already shop at Costco, along with Krogers and Wegmans....
Only TP I'm seeing is online thru Amazon and its 4-ply! Bring on the plumbing clogs for sure....

I've used Costco twice for buying cars. You get a standard price, I think it's $4000 over list price for a new car. No bargaining, no nonsense. The few bucks for a yearly membership fee pays for itself many times over!

So I don't think of it as "paying for the privilege." Looking at the big picture over a year, I think of it as a cost-cutting measure. (Also, some people team up with a neighbor or family member and share an order, so they're not always buying everything in ridiculously large quantities.)

C'est Moi...I think Sunny meant to say $4,000 under the list price! At least I hope so. LOL :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
