Clutch. Just checked mail and got minez too

Is that check from the date they opened? I thought I'd have more than amount I received

Buy the executive one and it pays for itself pretty quick.

Milk alone is worth it.

They sell Choice and Prime beef, but I don't think the prime is on the same level as a top level prime, but it is still really good


I say Costco is worth it for my wife and I but just barely.

I've said before that I questioned their "Prime" Beef and I stand by that. One needs to look past the label and notice the marbling. They sell better choice than prime more times than not, buyer beware....

Do you have some kind of proof of this? I see this mentioned in every Costco thread on here


They are both made in the same place/region using same techniques.

In TN places like Sam's and Costco have to allow anyone to use their pharmacy to fill prescriptions.

I suggest always checking the expiration date at Costco.

I've seen bread that expires in 2 days, and yogurt that was expired.

I find a lot of their items seem really close to expiration. Others are fine, but it's worth double checking.


I've noticed the same. I never used to check but then came home with chocolate milk that had an expiration the next day. Since then, I check. I've also seen stuff that had already expired +1 week.

Just got a reward voucher in the mail from them. Apparently you get 2% rewards on purchases.


So no one is confused, the $110 executive membership gets this perk, but the $55 standard does not.

If you get the Costco Visa, you pay an annual fee of 55 bucks, get 2% back on Costco store purchases, 4% back on gas purchases, and 1% back on all other purchases. The Visa includes a Costco membership, as well.

3% on restaurants, too. It's my new eating out card.

That looks just fine. I said that you had to pay attention and judge for yourself because I've seen better marbling in their choice than prime on more than several occasions...

My understanding is that the card gives 2% and executive gets another 2%, so executive members with the card are getting 4%.

Yes, but I was pointing out that you can get 2% back for the same price as a regular membership, and not have to worry about whether you're spendi g enough to justify an Executive membership.

amazon prime account, so I can already get pretty good deals on dry goods


No. You don't. You pay amazon to deliver that shite to you. Costco is cheaper in quite a few areas.

Any prime steaks I have purchased there have had fantastic marbling. I think some people just enjoy being "that guy" and can't be satisfied with anything.

I'll 3rd this. And, I am pretty sure it's only out on the weekend.

Going there today to get some babyback ribs to put on the grill.
