Costco Pressured To Accept Food Stamps

[DWCAP]

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.

[quote=arraya]Flu-Your argument is that you can’t control yourself and make poor food management decisions when you go to Costco because of the business model so everybody else will suffer the same fate.HAHA Well I guess someone on food stamps my not be the best shopper so your argument has some merit but you sure are not the best spokesman for them. “Shop at Costco, we’ll trick you into buying more than you need and won’t really save you money!”

I have not shopped there in years but if I remember correctly certain bulk items were much cheaper. Milk and eggs come to mind. I remember thinking, “If I had a family it would make sense”

Actually, Arraya, I’m sure if I compare apples to oranges, my food/waste management of superfluous would stack up pretty well, but thanks for asking.

If you are on food stamps, I’m not sure you’d qualify for a Costco Amex to get cash back, nor should you have $100 to buy the executive membership where you also get cash back. So some of the benefits I get out of it may not apply to this group.

I do not have a family to feed, but I had no problem joining Costco for a few simple reasons. The gas there is by far often the cheapest in the county. I don’t buy a lot there, but I do buy milk, wine, water, and the household goods that are cheaper per unit (floss, toilet paper, etc). Since these items come in such large quantities, sometimes I split the items with a friend, or I simply just store it and use it for months and months. You get 2 cards when you join so you can give the other card to either a family member, or you could give the card to a friend. Costco is pretty lax on verifying the in one household thing when you get 2 cards.

If you do belong to Costco and don’t have the executive membership, you should upgrade to it. If you don’t get at least $50 back, then you can ask for the refund between the cost of regular membership and executive. But if you do, then your membership can be quite cheap.

And I like being able to buy the occasional appliance, electronic, etc at super great prices.

Up in Carlsbad there is an AM/PM tucked neatly away alongside Palomar Airport Rd. about 1 mile past Costco that usually has roughly the same prices without all the wait.
