FROM what I see Costco is strongly democratic

One of the few that did not kneel to the elimination of DEI.

Thanks for this tip. There's a Costco in my city, but I object to paying for the "privilege" of shopping in a retailer's store. I may have to adjust my principles for the greater good.

Many stores Like Albertsons , (Safeway?) have a 2 price tier if you give them your information, Walgreens. If you use a Costco credit card , u do get some $$$ back. Costco treats their employees well. I think it is the lesser of the many many evil corporate greed stores out there

Plus their hotdogs are cheap and delicious ЁЯШЛ. Costco exhausts me, itтАЩs huge! But I really like it. We have a two year supply of TP and paper towels because I went last week haha. Their prices on things like coffee and detergent save you enough to pay for the membership. And the casback is really good.

Costco also makes 14% on their products and insists that their suppliers make no more than 14% also. You pay to take advantage of their choosing superior products and an excellent warranty and return policy.

After many years of refusing to get a Kroger loyalty card, my nose had a talk with my face and convinced us that spite was costing us money, so I caved. My nephew now works for Kroger and seems to be happy, so all is not lost, I suppose.

If this helps, our joint membership for 2 is/was $120, itтАЩs going up this year. Our rebate check was $200, plus we have the Costco Visa that gives us an additional 2% totally 4%. Then dining out gives us 3% on that card. If you donтАЩt make your membership fee back they do something to compensate you but itтАЩs never happened to us.
