I have a relatively large family and the quantities required still don’t make sense for most items in my case. However the gas prices keep me a member.

- FredPret 3y agoThey also sell fridges, freezers, and shelves ;)
- Paul-Craft 3y agoDo they sell space to put that stuff? When you're talking "relatively large family," I suspect that's actually the real bottleneck.
- flatline 3y agoCostco travel alone has saved me hundreds if not thousands of dollars in rental cars over the past year. Easily 40% cheaper than the competition.
- dylan604 3y agotell me more. are you just getting a discount at the normal rental places, or do they have their own? i was not aware of the rental option.
- flatline 3y agoJust another third party booking service. Last month a rental from Budget through Costco travel for a six days in CA was around $340. The same thing on rentalcars.com was over $500.
- TylerE 3y agoWonder how much of that is CostCo members generally being higher income/lower risk.
- dylan604 3y agoI mean, they let me in as a member. I can tell you I'm not doing anyone any favors in the lowering risk category
- taftster 3y agoHey, at least you're honest about it.
- TylerE 3y agoI mean, you joke, but you've shown ability to get to the store, fill out an application, pay the $200 or whatever... that at the very least means you are probably not in, say, the 5% worst risk category. Damages that can be caused to something like a hotel room or rental car are essentially unlimited.. avoiding the worst risks is really good. Below average is fine, you just want to avoid horrific.
- IAmGraydon 3y agoI shop there for only my wife and I and it’s perfect. I’m curious - what products come in quantities that don’t make sense?
- mcphage 3y agoI get that they sell a lot of things, but buying your wife there? That strains the bounds of credulity.
- taftster 3y agoI mean, they have hosted weddings at Costco before. Next step, bride or groom ordering service? Wonder how they handle returns in this scenario. Probably 90 days like electronics.
- tomcam 3y agoObvious trolling, so I’ll spell it out for you. IAmGraydon and I live in the same neighborhood. Obviously, Costco only sells wives in packages of 8 (Kirkland brand). We went in with 6 other friends on this one.
- Boogie_Man 3y agoI tried to rob a Costco, but my plan failed because I didn't bring eight guns.
- mcphage 3y agoThat does sound great for you, but I'm not in a polycule, and I don't think I've got room in my pantry for the spare wives. I guess it's just not for me.
