I love shopping at Costco.
I love the simplicity shopping at Costco. You don't get hundreds of different brands for a box of cereal, butter, milk, eggs etc..
What they have is usually the better brand items at normal supermarket, in a bigger size.
Their fresh produce and meat are very good quality and usually the same price as normal supermarket or cheaper. Milk is so much cheaper...$3.50 for a 2L A2 milk...(Woolies $5 for the same thing).
Their books, clothing, socks etc, are way cheaper than anywhere else. $47 for a men Levi;s jean..
Since shopping at Costco, I do less running around shopping for all the things we need.
Service is superior. Returning items is very easy. The staff are quick, friendly, helpful and look very happy to work there.
I dislike shopping at Woolies..staff are arrogant and make you feel like you wasting their time. They always busy chatting to themselves..
Their fresh produce is a hit and miss....sometimes you get good strawberries, most of the times the strawbs were bruised and had to be consumed immediately.
And since our local woolies built a sushi station inside the supermarket (complete with sushi chef), I lost respect for this Australian company.
So, I don't mind spending $60 for shopping at Costco. I just wish that there is one closer to where we live...
ps..I don't work for Costco...just love shopping there..
