Costco? I'm not "getting" it.

Interesting to read how each Costco stores can vary state by state depending on state regulations. For me, it is much more cost effective to buy milk at Trader Joe’s which has the cheapest pricing on both milk and eggs around but Costco here only sells milk in packages of 2 gallons… great if you have a large family but since most of the time it’s only DH and I in the house, not cost effective or would go to waste. Their fresh produce is good but they also only sell in large sizes so I ended up throwing away close to half of the 6 quart package of strawberries that DH bought. Our Costco does not offer a food court… but I do see that they sell hot dogs and I think pizza but it is so unappealing looking that I see very few people using it.
We keep a running list and when there are enough items to make it worthwhile, DH will go over and we might pick up something else like their salmon. The check-out lines are so long… always wondered why they didn’t have an express check-out like the supermarket. Agree that their sheet cakes are good and a good value, especially as regular bakeries are now few and far between. We only have one left in our neighborhood when we used to have three and two more not far away. Those sheet cakes were served at all birthday parties in the neighborhood and school events… but those days are long gone on our end.
