Business Description from the Web
Costco , a discount shopping warehouse, carries more than huge boxes of Cheerios and Tide. It offers a limited selection of seasonal merchandise , like basic camping or beach equipment, at the kind of reasonable prices this mega-store is known for. It also carries industrial strength sheet cake - the kind you need to handle a crowd of indiscriminate but very hungry young ball players or...

While the high-volume and low prices appeals mainly to families and business, it's...

What else is there to say about Costco that everyone else hasn't mentioned yet?
Well, I buy all my underwear from them and recently, I discovered that their site has an even wider variety of medical supply goods too! Thank heavens, now I can buy my essentials without the priying eyes of all other members.
Pros
+ Example: best croissants in town
Cons
- What are the drawbacks?
My large pantry at home really gets used because of the savings I get by buying in bulk. Or so I delude myself.
No really, need some office supplies? They have it! Need gardening do-dads, check too! My favorite is the automotive section. I really can't have enough shammies or oil for my car.
Cosctco competes with Sam's Club and Costco is far superior, hands down!

Their products are basically low end brands from good names that apparently had no where else to dump...
