Is a membership worth it?
By: Kerry K. Taylor
Is shopping at Costco worth the long lineups, hefty membership fees and inconvenience of buying peanut butter by the pound?
MoneySense compared the Costco price of various brand name products to the prices at major retailers, and found that you’ll save 30% or more at Costco on most items. The trick is choosing the right membership for your spending level. Small families and single shoppers should stick to the $55 Gold Star Membership, while big families with large grocery expenses may save more with the $100 Executive Membership.
Whats with the 8 page advertisement for Costco? The introduction leads one to believe this article would be a comparison against several options (retailers-plural). However, the only other prices given for groceries is Safeway, only one competitor and a higher priced one at that. We already know Costco is cheaper than there. What about other grocery and household item stores that are IN THE SAME CATEGORY as Costco? Please compare apples to apples and oranges to oranges. Go back to writing informational articles that are not a commercial in disguise.
