It’s called Pokeno.

Their alcohol selection is interesting.

I generally shop in the morning (10 AM) so I can imagine what it is like later.

I’m so happy they are standing up to the sleepy orange piggy administration.

I'm a proud card-carrying member.

Actually, an executive member. (Please show me the respect I am due, here.)

The exec membership has been worth it. We get enough back from it to cover the additional $60 (?) cost of exec membership.

But our cash back was closer to $100. We obviously didn't spend as much as you. I guess we need to up our game!

they're always the cheapest and we ge 4% cashback..really adds up especially when we're filling up our camper. Last year our cashback was $180.. more than pays for the executive membership.

Gas and our $1.50 hot dog meal and we're on our way..

For a buck fifty it's decent for a hot dog. Good sized, too. And a free drink to go with it.

new furniture, new electronics, new washer/dryer, new stove & fridge, shed and garden stuff, etc. Recently, our cash back hasn't been as much, but as long as the cash back is a penny more than $65, that makes it worthwhile. 👍️💳️

go to the Costo we shop at, and buy something ... anything, to say "Thank you!"

I only buy gas at Costco. Here in SW Florida credit card skimmers at gas pumps are common. The Costco pumps are monitored by an attendant and I've never heard of a skimming problem there. And Costco's gas price is almost always the lowest around.

I also love the free light lunch of the various samples.

There is too much good to ignore! If they can stand up to this current admin, the next admin may ease the way to reinstate mifopristone.

single and retired and don''t buy much anymore but I want to support Costco's business model. They pay their employees a fair wage and sell and stand behind quality products.

For years because of how they treat their employees and how you can tell everyone likes working there. They sell things I like at good prices. Just two of us but we stock up and things last. I just buy $60 membership but usually get like $700 back every year because use Costco visa for all my credit.

Weather's a little colder now, but I could still walk there if I wanted to. But yeah, we love it. We go in there two and three times a day, sometimes.
