I just returned home from setting up my new Costco membership!

Why?

Because I believe in and support DEI initiatives.

My housemate also joined. I don’t go anywhere so I don’t need a membership.

kittypurr1.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you! I just renewed mine a couple months ago, I love how it makes it easier to stock up on supplies for winter, getting snowed in with an empty pantry or no toiletries isn't something I want to try

theoldprof.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good on you! We put in a big, free-shipping order with Costco last week.

adamwhossane.bsky.social•30 days ago

Great that they’re not going with the rest of the corporate herd on attacking DEI. However, I would caution anyone seeking to get new memberships with Costco to hold off until the strike ends. The Teamsters Union Costco strike begins at midnight this Friday.

eileen901.bsky.social•30 days ago

My sister and I are doing the same thing after work Friday.

royherdman-adk.bsky.social•29 days ago

I'd join COSTCO but the nearest one is miles away and I don't drive and food delivery services would not be reasonable..
Ai ti is, I have another month or two on Sam's club and then its gone..

susiemv.bsky.social•29 days ago

I did the same yesterday.

cecerydr.bsky.social•16 days ago

Welcome to Costcovia 🇺🇸💙 ‼️

natureone.bsky.social•29 days ago

👍🏻👏🏻🤗

snownbeast.bsky.social•29 days ago

Try their hots dogs (only $1.5) and their pizza....so good and made fresh.

juliewb.bsky.social•30 days ago

I’m going to join too.

bigg95973.bsky.social•29 days ago

Bought three cans of Kirkland coffee yesterday

maperdo.bsky.social•29 days ago

I drink Peets coffee. Will I enjoy Kirkland?

bigg95973.bsky.social•29 days ago

It’s got caffeine in it

beckyganzhorn.bsky.social•29 days ago

Smart

sandgirl.bsky.social•29 days ago

I will be doing that on payday. I am going to write a message on the application saying "joining because you support DEI"

boudicasal.bsky.social•29 days ago

Nicely done.

izzy1716.bsky.social•30 days ago

You won't regret it.

tlf5foot8.bsky.social•29 days ago

They have the nicest people working there!

superkingly.bsky.social•29 days ago

If you haven’t already make sure to support Wikipedia as well

sincitycyclops.bsky.social•29 days ago

Costco has always been a great company. I have been a member for decades.

devonveebee.bsky.social•29 days ago

I’ve been going since I was a kid in the 80s and my dad would take me to probably the first store in Hawaii.

digital-warrior17.bsky.social•30 days ago

I'm going to leave Sam's club because it's owned by Walmart.

skippjon1.bsky.social•29 days ago

Excellent!

rocgrrl.bsky.social•29 days ago

When I move this spring I will be near a Costco once again and will be renewing my membership. Always thought they were better than Sam's. They have had a long reputation of treating their employees fairly so this here only reinforces my belief

lynndyw.bsky.social•29 days ago

We have been members since 1987! You will love it! Never disappointed.

kikihoneydip.bsky.social•29 days ago

I was there this morning and going back for gas

jimbarclay.bsky.social•29 days ago

And, you will save a lot of money. I'd advise you avoid Saturdays. You will find several others will have specifically chosen that particular day. Of course if you thrive on utter chaos, go for it!

imflywithangels.bsky.social•29 days ago

whoknewyou.bsky.social•29 days ago

I wish we had a Costco near us. But none closer than at least an 8 hours drive in Canada. It’s a 4 hours drive if I went to Costco in the USA. But I won’t right now.

noekai2013.bsky.social•29 days ago

on my list of to do’s for tomorrow afternoon!

rachelec.bsky.social•29 days ago

My husband suggested the same.

terminallyelle.bsky.social•29 days ago

I just did this the other day. I am so happy I did those prices were amazing and the food was all really nice and fresh and I got extra of everything I can always give my chickens and ducks :) I'm very happy with costco

michaeldtw.bsky.social•29 days ago

Will be doing that on Monday myself.

peacemaker56.bsky.social•29 days ago

The parking lots can be chaos but worth it 😂

noodle3310.bsky.social•29 days ago

Welcome to the club

steadyhabits.bsky.social•29 days ago

it's worth it, the savings in gas prices alone is worth it. i'm a single person who lives in a 1 BR apt and i go like twice a month, it's so great!! great products you cant get anywhere else

susanhendrick.bsky.social•29 days ago

For all those new to Costco - please note that a trip to Costco for milk is at least $100. Sure, you pick up the milk, but also other necessities the battery organizer, new garden tools, three pairs of Reebok sneakers for $29.99 (run $89 everywhere else), new cat condo 1/2 the price of other stores.

cecerydr.bsky.social•16 days ago

Thank goodness I don’t drink milk 😂😂

jevangelista.bsky.social•29 days ago

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

cbski.bsky.social•29 days ago

You left out the mandatory rotisserie chicken.

mscdgrad.bsky.social•29 days ago

👍👍

swijnands.bsky.social•29 days ago

We did it too

serena-spencer-esq.bsky.social•29 days ago

AntiRacist Americans are the BEST Americans. 🥰

liselisec.bsky.social•29 days ago

We are on our way home from Costco too. I hate shopping there but from now on I’ll grin and bear it.

smiles4all.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good for you ! Costco is such a good corporate company !! Love my membership !

gimmedoritos.bsky.social•29 days ago

Did they talk u into executive?

devonveebee.bsky.social•29 days ago

If possible, only go during the last hour they’re open on weeknights. Otherwise it’s madness.

doestahr.bsky.social•29 days ago

I hope you told them so.

esslater.bsky.social•29 days ago

I did!

mimchinchilla.bsky.social•29 days ago

I’m going to go get one too!

jedimindtricker.bsky.social•29 days ago

20 year member. You can have stuff delivered on the day you order by Instacart. 2 day order from the warehouse for free if $80

Sundays at Costco are an all day affair😎😎😎😎

orlandoribbons.bsky.social•29 days ago

I love Costco for so many reasons. If you need help with what’s good there, let me know. I shop there for my household weekly

indyswifty.bsky.social•29 days ago

I got one too! Anyone care to share the best finds for us newbies?

googoogajoob.bsky.social•29 days ago

Also joined recently and driving 100 miles to shop at Costco this weekend.

paulkingsley7.bsky.social•30 days ago

Was thinking of doing the same. I have one less than a mile from me. My household is small, so I didn’t see the value.

tlf5foot8.bsky.social•29 days ago

There’s only two of us in my house but we have a membership. It’s still worth it. I use the eye exams, hearing exams, and discount travel among so much more.

faw47.bsky.social•29 days ago

The gas alone makes it worth it for me.

paulkingsley7.bsky.social•29 days ago

So is that the basic membership, or the 2x membership (costs twice as much, more features)?

surrealsylph.bsky.social•29 days ago

Basic

paulkingsley7.bsky.social•29 days ago

Wow. Thanks. That matters. 🙏

beckyganzhorn.bsky.social•29 days ago

I buy fresh produce, dairy, eggs & gas weekly there. I buy frozen proteins & house cleaning supplies as needed. I live alone. My sister finds great casual clothing there.

I have found I keep my costs down if I don’t browse.

Also their return policy is fantastic, no receipt, no problem.

paulkingsley7.bsky.social•29 days ago

Thank you! Great to know.

beckyganzhorn.bsky.social•29 days ago

Also, many of their house brand (Kirkland) goods have outstanding reviews.

👍🏼

clint312.bsky.social•29 days ago

They should take advantage of space in cities and do a city Costco to complete for city targets. Get with a local courier company for same-day delivery for larger shopping trips.

breathfartnews.bsky.social•29 days ago

The 4% I save from their already low gas prices more than makes up for the annual card fee.

surrealsylph.bsky.social•29 days ago

Costco is also has great deals on awesome stuff!

kellielv.bsky.social•29 days ago

I don't have a Costco I can get to so I just got back from my local Latino market. No more corporations for me!
