Answer :

i love Costco and have said it before on Fluther. I have been to Costco in Las Vegas, California, Pennsylvania Dutch Country (where they have horse and buggy parking section in the parking lot), plus NY, NJ, CT. I use Costco for books, electronics, furniture, milk for the baby, diapers, garbage bags, paper goods, shampoo, pharmacy, optical, holiday presents, so many things, too many to name. Some people tell me they don’t eat that much, which i don’t either, but i tell them eventually they will use 100 garbage bags, or 30 rolls of toilet paper, or whatever. my couch is from costco, my mattress and box spring are from costco, my bedside lamp is from costco, my tv is from costco, my dining room table is from sam’s club, my daughter’s play table and chairs are from costco, i could go on and on.
