maybe its common at other places but they refill printer cartridges for $7-$10 depending on the model. takes less than 10 minutes, at the photo station

get that done twice and thats your membership cost made back

Another one...if you buy glasses cleaner from them, you can get free refills at the optical counter.

In BR they have an agreement with Firestone for $69 alignment for your car and they repair tires for free regardless of where you bought your tires...

We had some cartridges refilled once and it really fricked up our printer. Has been a year or two, has the process improved?

Think CVS did them for about $10 a piece.

what? That's a great one. I refill my own, but I messed up one time and had black on my fingers for a week.

Really good to know though. I book trips through them and buy my checks through them as well.

If the only thing you ever purchased from Costco was gas, you would get your membership cost back.

Plus that food court pizza is fricking delicious.

Costco gas is around $.11 per gallon less than anywhere else in my town.

They'll also do minor repairs on your glasses - like replace a missing screw - for free, even if you didn't buy the frames there.

After the refills it kept saying it wasn't genuine cartridges and wouldn't print worth a shite. Finally gave up and went and bought the right cartridges and the printer just kept saying it was out of ink and printing test pages.

But that would mean you have to go inside a Wal-Mart...

You can buy stuff online too. I think they have free shipping on certain items and otherwise, the shipping costs are very reasonable.

If you like alcohol, they have phenomenal prices on some quality booze.

I went to that food court once and, like the Holocaust, never again.

Based on the way they were acting, it was clear many of them were not Costco members. I'm very thankful the BR one has an indoor food court.
