The DU Lounge

The quality of items is consistently strong, and good value and often interesting selection.
Been a member for over 30+ years, refuse to go to Walmart.
Costco is my first stop for nearly everything, from toilet paper to cream to planters to couches to a greenhouse on sale for $999, to TVs to Tshirts, solidly discounted gasoline (especially considering the 5% back on the Costco Citicard), multiple sets of tires (which they install and provide multi-year road hazard protection), blue jeans, almonds and pistachios,, frequently stopping for a $3 lunch of a large slice of pizza and refillable soda on the way out the door.
I get my money’s worth from the membership, in 30+ years they have never made me mad, and the Costco-affiliated Citicard (but never keep a balance) has been my go-to for 30+ years. I cannot recall EVER buying anything there and afterward thinking “I over-paid for this” or “this is really an inferior product”.
But the number one thing i like about them? They respect and pay their employees. They actually respect their customers, too, which is unheard of in 2026 America.

Their stock has been a healthy and steady investment as well.
