Yeah Costco rocks. I've gotten the equivalent of 12 fridge packs of
Pepsi in one trip, there, four packs of 36.

Costco is or was recently the 2nd biggest brick-n-mortar retailer in the
US (and the world). Their per store sales must be astronomical, given
how few there are.

I virtually never feel like I'm being ripped off at Costco, vs the
high-priced Publix, where they recently wanted $4.19 for a very small
bag of baked Lay's chips.

144 Pepsis?! Yikes. Addicted much?

Yeah, the only issue is whether you want that much stuff at once, but
for big consumers of a particular thing, it can't be beat for price
and quality.

I go through soda like crackheads go through cocaine.

Most things work out okay but I don't need a 4 year supply of toilet paper
or 15 pounds of pork shoulder even if the price is good. I've been pleased
with the electronics I've bought there but you do have to exercise
diligence. A particular model number may have many SKUs so read the fine
print.
