Gas is the worst myth of CostcoI save over 1,500 a year in gas alone, propane is cheap too as you pay amount filled and not a flat rate.
Different strokes for different folks. What doesn't work for you, is not necessarily an issue for others.Time is money and opportunity lost.
People often seem to ignore these two important factors and only look at the cost.
Imagine what you could be doing with your time vs. battling crowded stores and wasting your day when you could be doing more productive and enjoyable things like sailing unless you actually find this fun.
I go fill up early in the morning, never line ups. My truck takes 140 litres and the price at Costco is at least 7-8 cents a litre lower the. Other gas stations. I use propane to work. Average price per tank is $14, any other place is over $20.Gas is the worst myth of Costco
People line up (often for hours) trying to save $0.05 a L
In my exp 99% of gas stations within walking distance to a Costco price match and you can still use all your loyalty programs there
(heck you can STACK with your Costco credit card, get the air miles or petro points or whatever PLUS the % cash back since you used your Costco card)
Often its cheaper to buy gas outside Costco than in it
Time is money . Do you work 24 hours a day . I sure as hell didn't . Time is money ... That's what some Sp's say when they don't bother to clean up properly before they open the revolving door . Next ... hurry up ... time is money .Time is money and opportunity lost.

Online groceries and food delivery is the future. The quality is there and some of these places charge you like $10 for deliver to your house first thing in the morning.
People line up for hours to buy gas . LMFAO .... You're using your imagination there . Lining up for hours . Give me a break . LOLGas is the worst myth of Costco

I enjoy going to Costco . Take my time and look around . Life is too short to be rushing around . Don't know which Costco you go to but I have a choice of 4 that I can go to . Big crowds . The line up goes fast . Don't know how people are forced to wait over half an hour to buy gas . I guess welcome to the big city with a large population is in order . Big city life . Isn't it great .
Don't know how you can waste a day shopping at Costco . I'm always home in less than 2 hours . That certainly is not a whole day . Some people like me enjoy shopping and look forward to it .
As for on-line grocery shopping and delivery ..... forget it . I'd rather pick and see what I'm buying when it comes to my food . How many times you have seen a fruit on special at a great price . Many times it's old stuff and they are trying to get rid of it . Order on-line and you could get garbage . Now what ... are you going to now go to the store and waste a WHOLE day bringing it back that item. You can order food on-line from Walmart but you have to go get it . IGA used to have home delivery but that ended years ago.
I don't care about sailing . Not into that but I do fish . Even if I don't catch anything I still have a good time fishing . Some people will say you are wasting your time fishing when you can go to the local fish market and buy your fish . I guess I could be doing something more productive but I choose not to .
Thank you Costco . A great store for me .
And as long as this phrase is used, you know right away that everything else the person says is a BS. If one says that they can "use energy" or even knowledge or research to make money on the stock market - it shows that the person has no idea what he/she is talking about but still like to express his/her opinion. There is only on possible way to "make" money on the stock market - diversify and enjoy risk premium for the risk taking. It is very easy and cheap to do with passively managed ETFs. As soon as you start "using your energy" try to analyse stocks and hand-pick them - you'll start to lose money (well, to be specific, your are loosing in certainty equivalence of your utility function plus additional dead weight loss in your time/effort).Why not than use your energy to make money like stocks
Ha ha . That's what I do . Park in 1 corner of the lot where there is always good parking and walk to the doors . A little bit of exercise never hurt anyone . Went to Costco the other day . Store was packed but the lines went fast because of many cashiers were on duty .When it comes to shopping and time wasting: Walmart and Food Basic are the worst: Walmart because of a slow lineups (takes much more time than Costco) and Food Basic because you'll still have to go to another store to buy fruits and vegetables of acceptable quality. If you do not like large crowds - avoid Costco on weekends. But even with large crowds their check-out time is still the same as in any grocery store. Yes, parking maybe a problem, but here is an advice - drive to the farthest corner of the parking lot right away and walk 5 minutes to the doors. Problem solved.
Assuming your tank tank is empty you would save $11.20 - not bad if there is no wait. You are one of the lucky ones who live close to a Costco and can get there at the crack of dawn.I go fill up early in the morning, never line ups. My truck takes 140 litres and the price at Costco is at least 7-8 cents a litre lower the. Other gas stations. I use propane to work. Average price per tank is $14, any other place is over $20.
Just bring it back and get a full refund.Just bought some ribs there. Tough sinewy and totally inedible. Can someone explain that?
