[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Costco is basically Walmart for the over 125k median income folks. It’s also a mental illness if you ask me - no it isn’t cheaper nor better quality - just allows people to stuff themselves more. Yes I’ve tried it but wasn’t for me. I do appreciate it as a shareholder though so keep on buying 600 granola bars at a time, thx.[/quote]

It is cheaper and better quality. Look into the business model. They keep only something like 4000 skus. Walmart has something like 150k. Their distribution model means they are selling product before invoices are even due. They only take something like 12% margin and pass on savings to members. They are a phenomenal business and treat associates well.

It isn’t for everyone. But it is certainly not a Walmart for the 125k set nor a mental issue to stop there. [/quote]

That would be great if it were true. I've seen plenty of stories showing the unit prices of costco items are in fact not any cheaper! [/quote]
