How is Costco for major appliances? We will be needing a dishwasher soon I
fear and probably a gas water heater as well...

We have Sam's Club, but no Costco.
I've had Sam's memberships on and off, but in retrospect I don't think I
have ever shopped there enough for it to really be worth it. It's also
not on any of my normal travel routes so it's always an extra trip to go
there.

Yeah, TVs they double the warranty (usually to 2 years) and you can buy
an extended warranty for pretty cheap. My wife got me a 70" for
Christmas some years ago, a coupla months after I decided to get the
extended warranty, took in the receipt and bang it was done. Still

Think of it as profit sharing. It’s a win-win, no matter how you look at it. As
Curt mentioned, their gasoline is Top Tier and costs less than any other fuel
retailer in the area, typically by $0.10/0.15/gallon, so I’m saving there, too.

Back in the before times when we still had students in the classroom the lady
that stocks the snacks would buy the Costco house brand (Kirkland) fruit
snacks. One time she bought the fancy pants Amy's brand fruit snacks and the

Well, their prices are cheaper usually and the stuff is very good
quality. I more than make up for it on gas purchases (usually at least
10cents/gal cheaper than the cheapest station around so figure that is a

The whole idea of paying someone for the privilege of spending money in
their store just feels wrong. It's hard to get over that even if you come
out ahead in the end. Can't take that first step.

Yup. The first year we joined they pushed the hard sell for the executive
membership. We told them we would never hit the nut for it to pay off, and they
told us this. When the year came to an end and it was renewal time, I did just
that and got the refund.
It’s almost a no-brainer.

Little known fact: If your rebate is not sufficient to cover your exec
membership, go to the desk and explain that and they will refund you the

Me too. About 37 miles, but not a quick 37 miles.

Their branded VISA card is a really good deal if you don’t carry a balance. We
use it for gas purchases and get 4% back just for gas purchases up to $7k/year.
Last year we got a chunk of change back as a result, this year not so much
since we’re not driving nearly as much. I just got a statement
I don't know or associate with anyone who is not already a Costco member.
