I just signed up for Costco and visited the store for the first time. I’m a little disappointed. Everything there is really unhealthy. They have a full bread aisle, but no whole wheat bread. I feel like the store is 1% produce, 69% highly processed food, 30% objects.

Lots of types of groceries are missing. I overheard two other parties saying they would go to Walmart afterwards, to get stuff they couldn’t find at Costco.

Everything there is such a disorganized mess. Most of the aisles are incoherent.

What’s with the baggers? Why would they have bag boys but no bags? Do all Costco stores have no bags? I don’t need an entire worker just to put my stuff back in the cart.

      Costco also has great prices on nuts/dried fruit, protein/workout supplies, canned goods/pasta sauces, OTC drugs and sundries like soap/shampoo/razors.

      It’s a great place to get a lot of “fundamentals.” They mostly sell at cost, as the bulk of their profit comes from subscriptions, not markup.

      But yeah, it’s organized like crap specifically so you spend more time there

      That’s probably also why they’re always moving stuff around too.

        Yeah, pretty standard grocery store tactics. Costco puts the meat/produce/dairy/eggs at the far end of the store on the edges just like every other chain.
