Costco

昨天晚上,去Costco办了他们的会员卡。

Costco是这样一家店。你要去他们那儿买东西,还得先交钱买了他们的会员卡才行。你交了钱觉得不甘心,去了那里自然要大买特买。所以,每次去Costco见到的都是人整箱大包地往外扛东西,那架势跟买东西不要钱似的。

所以,Stella很不平,认为Costco是黑店。我则从实际的角度考虑,如何能把损失的会员费赚回来呢?想来想去,觉得问题太复杂。人总是要花钱的,既然入了Costco的黑社会,死心算了。

Even worse here. We are living a Costco life! We get our food, furniture, household stuff, clothes, electronics, and everything. I plan to get a casket there too when I need it.

定一个雷打不动的规矩, 去Costco只买commodity, 包括牛奶,面粉,大米,快餐面,卫生纸等。 除此之外什么都不买, 就没事。 否则家里会堆满Costco的东西的。

Take it easy. I live a Costco too. Last week I even upgraded to executive membership. You got much better goods from costco than from Walmart or Kmart. Many of them are cheaper than Walmart. That's the reason they survive in the market even when they charge membership fee.

You always have the option to buy something from other store when they are better or cheaper (food in chinatown, for example). Still, in the past years, what I gained from Costco was more than the membership fee.
