Starbucks doesn't actually make any of their food. Other companies do and they just heat it up when you order. Costco's quality is 10x better.

For those who have Costco memberships, what are your pros/cons?



Pros:

Prices are great on several items.

The Kirkland brand stuff is great.

Every now and then you find a great deal on a brand name clothing item.

Gas

Costco Travel

Pharmacy prices

Good meat/bread/dairy prices

Even long lines move fast



Cons:

Can be crowded on the weekends.

Gas doesn’t count for the 2% back on the executive membership



Didn't say it did. I said if you have a regular membership card, gas purchases alone would pay for it in the savings.

I have to say I was disappointed in Cosco. The one in Covington is already laying off people while Sam's still seems to be as busy as it was before Costco opened.

This is BS. There is always parking in the very back of the parking lots, even at 1pm on a Saturday which is typically the busiest time for most Costcos.

Come on over to the one in New Orleans for a different experience!

Costco is going downhill. Executive membership is not really worth it.

The register will actually beep and tell the cashier to inform you if your spending is someone who would benefit from the executive.

Sums it up

Rental Car for Travel is a good deal too.

We just got our second Costco here in Huntsville, somehow both are crowded now. But the new one is massive and helps thin out the aisles. Also has a drive through pick up and has like 30 gas pumps

Can I get a visitor pass for free just to try the hotdog and pizza?

Makes perfect sense. You could go buy a grab and go pizza from a grocery (Aldi, HEB, etc.) and a $5 pack of hot dogs and be out in ten minutes, or spend 10 minutes trolling the parking lot looking for a spot, walk 80 yards, and sit around fatties enjoying their "savings" on fast food.

You obviously have never been by the Covington location. It's never full. There are always parking spots, and the walk is much closer.

I pass by nearly every day.

One thing I like about Sam's Club better than Costco is their opening time. I am usually at Sam's around their 8 AM opening time when most people are still getting their breakfast. Costco opening time of 10 AM has more people up and ready to shop.

So edgy.
