Costco is great for parties and big families. I went to school with a family that had 14 kids. You heard that right, 16 in the household. Costco was a godsend to them, not because they couldnt save money if they were just smarter about buying habits, but simply due to bulk buying. Can you imagine how fast they would run outa stuff if they were just buying the small box? They would be shopping almost daily.
I dont join cause I dont have a family, or even a wife, and feeding myself is rather cheap. id waste whatever savings I had on spoiled products or gas to get to the damn place.
And FLU you are right. They have an awsome buisness plan; especially when they dont have to do ANY store decorating or organizing.
