Some retail chains Americans would be surprised knowing they have such a large international presence

Costco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Their special deals and routine discounts are popular, as is their pizza. Pretty decent, and they sell lots of it.

I used to be a member..however they just made everything their own brand so now why do you want to spend $25 on a big jug of no-name detergent. You can do that at the dollar store.

Kept my BJ's Wholesale Club membership though. They have coupons for name brand stuff...which Costco rarely did.

I prefer BJWC over Costco for one simple reason: their aisles are laid out according to the signs posted, so I know where to find what I need. Costco, other than a few areas, keeps changing their layout so you have to hunt all over usually. That is how they get you to buy stuff you had no intention of buying when you entered the store.

Well that's true. BJWC seems to have a standard inventory in the aisles and the "test it out/seasonal" products in the middle.

Costco seems to be hit or miss. Like Marshalls or something.

That Pizza is a big deal - $10 for a decent whole pizza I can consume for two days.. Ill take that.

Not everything is their own brand and that pricing trick of theirs in the cent amount is to be followed to get a really good discount.

Not just pizza, but anything carrying the Kirkland label is tested to be equal or better to the class leading product in its category. That is how it gets the label.

It is however more better as a value proposition either for larger families or for group situations unless two people share a large space to stock up that much
