text: I do not own a Costco membership I am mooching off my cousin who has an extra card and looks like mennLets start with the positives I like that Costco carries some pretty cool items like paper shredders yesflashback to Modern Family Season We bought a great shredder here and might I say we have prevented identity theft thus far Costco has a great price on their organic spinach boxes their wine and alcohol selection and pricing is decent and they have some items I use like Boursin cheese Fage yogurt etc at decent prices Oh most of all their environmentally friendly Kirkland detergent is really the bomb That is really the reason I keep my cousins Costco card in my walletnnNow from my gripesnnI get seriously irritated when I see severely obese people buying industrial sized packages of full fat cheese trays of butter croissants and bulk bags of chocolates I do not think anyone needs that much food unless they are feeding a very unhealthy school Costcos are full of such irresponsible behavior But I guess it is a personal choice on what you consume but hey I am paying part of their medical bills with my hefty taxes Before I digress too muchback to the issue at handnnThis Costco is ridiculously busy at all times of the day and the lines are crazy So for someone like me who is buying detergent it is about a minute process to find parking walk to the detergent aisle and check out nnGenerally I cannot get behind the idea of Costco because I would never purchase watermelons at a go or a gallon tub of potato salad Buying what I need from Trader JoesSunflower is plenty for me and it affords me variety in my daily meals since I do not have to let us sayuse up a giant bag of dumplingsnnYes I patronize Costco once every months or so but I do not think I will ever be getting a membership or crying my eyes out if they happen to disappear
