Editorial Review for Costco – by Saira Masood
In Short
Formerly known as the Price Club, this large membership-only warehouse is chock-full of almost any consumer product under the sun-in bulk, of course. With goods ranging from high-end electronics to outdoor furniture to fresh lobster, this wholesale superstore has got it (lots and lots of it!). While the high-volume and low prices appeals mainly to families and business, it's not uncommon to find college students trolling the various aisles for free food samples. The various membership options offer a range of plans, all reasonably priced. A word of warning to shopaholics: If you leave home without a list, you might spend more than you bargained for with all the deals offered.

Costco is the worst of the warehouse stores. Its prices are higher, and the merchanise they offer is just plain awlful. It usually comes down to a low end national brand or Kirkland-the store brand. The customer service is laughable and checking out is a nightmare. Inherit understaffing causes this poor service. The store layout is terrible also.

Costco is the greatest. The staff is knowledgable and helpful. They are fabulous at taking back returns. Prices are excellent, they have everything. Sample days are superb.
