I haven't had any bargains lately. I picked up some food for a barbeque. It is still busy on weekends so I almost regretted it. Early weekday nights are ok. Costco Fuel now accepts Visa officially. Costco Fuel opening hours on Google Maps say 9:30pm six days a week. That will be good if correct.
I know people who shop regularly there for consumables. I'm more of a bargain hunter visitor. Gotta have food to make the visit convenient in my day.

Standing around in a crowd of a hundred people for 20 minutes waiting like cattle for the trough is not something I will repeat.
Joined Costco over the holidays as we'll be spending a bit of time out west over the coming months. I didn't find the pricing to be great for most things.

The Kirkland brand goods (Costco's home brand) are probably where the most savings are to be made, and of course I can't get that elsewhere. Otherwise, I'm going to need to eat a lot of croissants and roast chicken to justify the membership cost.
