We're not in Auckland, but I buy a few things from them, via Store 2 Door. Mainly BBQ-related stuff I can't find locally. For example, coarse ground pepper.

If CostCo delivered themselves, I'd probably buy non-perishable items from them.

SpartanVXL: The croissant boxes, made with butter instead of whatever PnS/countdown/NW make them out of. Air frier for 5min at 120C and have with coffee in the mornings.

We had a Costco croissant phase. Like a lot of Costco things it's possible to eat a few too many with a whole box available ; ). Girth expansion became a problem. For an occasional lunch croissant I prefer the slightly larger size of the supermarket bakery.

Costco have a rotating selection of clothing, which varies in quality; but one thing they tend to have which is good value is the jeans with a shorter leg length.

I have a couple of pairs of Levis from them that I paid about $70 for. Also a couple of pairs of pants in other brands of similar size/length.

Likewise they tend to have a few jeans in the in-between sizes less common in NZ and the occasional longer leg length. Typical NZ importers like to average everyone for some reason and make them all wear the same jeans if at all possible..
