In my area Xcel will pay you to pick up your refrigerator if it is still working. I think you get about $50.
In the Bay Area, local Costco warehouses are selling bone-in cured jamón serrano cured hams imported from Spain for $100, which is less than half the price that is on the website.
Wow—sent that info to the 2 families most likely to be interested in this. Sounds like quite a deal!
Here’s a SF article talking about the Serrano hams, and Locations:

I can’t go above 69 inches in height.
Thanks for the reminder. The program in my area pays a little less.
Just have to say I am currently eating some blueberries purchased at Costco yesterday and they are out of this world! Not the organic ones. Firm and crisp and delicious. Unless it’s something local and in season Costco fruit is largely heads above grocery store fruit.
I believe this varies widely by area. Our Costco’s produce is a bit of a mixed bag. About 1/3 of the produce is about the same quality and not much lower in price than our decent supermarkets, so not worth it for me to buy the large package in case I can’t use it before it goes bad. About 1/3 of the produce is equivalent in quality and lower in price than the local decent supermarkets so worth buying on the things we use large volumes of. The rest is lower in quality than what I can get at the local stores.
Ok, being more specific, berries (blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries) are comfortably 1/2 the price if not up to 3 x as much fruit price wise. Year around, I can get the blueberries - I’m not sure of the exact size/ounces but I’d say at least a quart for $4.99-$6.99. And better quality than most local stores.
Bananas 3 lbs for $1.39 year around.
The apples in the special 12 to a package packaging, not a better price. But largely beautiful apples!
@ProfessorPlum168 - our Costco had that serrano ham last year and it came with a wooden stand and a beautiful knife to cut it with. What a great deal!
We tend to have really good blueberries, and they often have 2 or 3 different types. I get the fattest ones. They’re always good!
Some of Costco’s fruit is excellent, but I have been consistently disappointed with their expensive and consistently mealy and inedible peaches. Regardless of when in the season I buy them, they were awful,
Their bananas are very reasonable, and the raspberry prices range from very inexpensive to no great bargain but often the melons, grapes and summer fruits are expensive. And we have the same issue with the quantity. I just bought kiwi to put in a fruit salad that I was taking to a friends, and they were hard as a rock. I should have bought the yellow ones, perhaps for the novelty, but they were twice the price.
I always let the green kiwis ? sit on the counter for a few days to ripen. The yellow ones are not only different in color, they taste sweeter and have a very fresh, fruity scent!
Some melons can be a miss, and I agree about peaches. Even though Eastern WA is a peach ? country, store peaches are not that great… probably picked too early to transport better, and they turn into mush upon ripening. Nectarines fare much better! Other than that, everything is great.
The way I buy my fruit at Costco (for largely just two of us) is to just pick two items for the week. Yesterday that was blueberries and blackberries. In the course of a week we will def eat those. I find when things go bad it’s because I have too much variety.
We buy weekly:
a bag of citrus ? (cuties or mandarins or caracaras)
a box of ?
a flat of apples ?
berries (2-3 packs) ?
2-pack of Dulcinea watermelons ?
some seasonal fruit
And we, just the two of us, I mean mostly Mr., eat all of it in one week. This is not counting the veggies!! 
I won’t buy apples at Costco. Too much plastic packaging! I had some luck with peaches last summer (they come in a cardboard box), but the farmer’s market ones are so superior that I went there religiously for a month or two.
I’ve enjoyed Trader Joe’s peaches in CA in June. After that, I couldn’t bring myself to buy any in HI. We tend not to get very good peaches—they go from green to rotten. 
Folks- I am in the heart of peach country. Agree that the farm bought ones are best (and many varieties to choose from). But I have never, ever had luck wirhnpraches from Costco. Overpriced and mealy.
I never buy peaches from Costco. I got burned 2-3 times in a row and that was enough. For peaches during its season, I now go exclusively to Sprouts for the regionally grown Palisade peaches. These are incredibly sweet. Sprouts also has frequent sales over the summer for cantaloupes at third or fourth the Costco price.
I wind up delivering one of those plastic cases of 10-14 Fuji apples (usually from Eastern Washington) and 2 3-pound bags of organic bananas to my kid every 10-14 days or so. I’m happy to do this since it’s an excuse to see him on campus even though it’s usually an hour drive one-way, but I wonder why he just doesn’t take some from the cafeteria. He says it’s stealing, but since it’s a buffet and I’ve paid for it, to me they should allow for grab and go. Not sure what the rules are.
Unsalted cashews interestingly enough showed up again right after I complained about the lack of it on this thread.
But those BLUEBERRIES!!! 
(haha you convinced me to never try the peaches! - which I usually wouldn’t because I don’t think I can eat a dozen peaches before they would go bad!)
Apples in plastic seems really unnecessary, just saying…
