[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure I get this thread.[b] Costco makes its money on the membership fees and sells most items at a very low gross margin [/b]particularly compared to WalMart or Target. That's not to say that every single thing is cheaper at Costco or that you cannot find a lower quality alternative elsewhere that will meet your needs but generally Costco delivers value.[/quote]Costco is a publicly traded company beholden to a Board of Directors and major shareholders. Costco, therefore, must squeeze out every dime it can, so if they have to charge $50 for a bag of pistachios and up the membership fee to $200 they will do so because the shareholders demand it to be so.
