Costco is the best club store out there. I've held BJ's and Sam's Club memberships too, but I feel that Costco's is the only one worth keeping. Why? Well Costco gets the best products. Even though they might charge a dime or two more than Sam's for basic staples, it's the shopping experience that makes me so loyal. The staff are very friendly here. They offer abundant samples of yummy foods- like ravioli and even crabcakes. The merchandise is exceptional: I always see brand name top-notch items like Waterford crystal, Harry & David gift cards, and Kate Spade bags here. I like their rotisserie chicken, but Wegmans' is better for that. Furthermore, this store is pleasant to shop in. It has lots of skylights and is immaculate. Why can't all places be like this? (Right off I-295 too! And near to Route 38! Great location!)
They have "events" with furniture and rugs. Knowing that Costco stands behind each product with one of the best guarantees out there (no time limit for returns except on computers) makes me inclined to shop here. And knowing that the employees are paid living wages also helps too, though I know that by shopping here I am getting a good deal- especially when I redeem the coupons they mail to my house!
Parking here is a pain sometimes, but since Wegmans came it isn't so bad anymore. Just look for the big pyramid shaped orange roof near the Marne Highway with the white picket fence and you'll find Costco.
