I went to Costco with my mom, and everything I wanted was more expensive than regular grocery stores. Is Costco a scam...

What part of my post did you fail to understand, weirdass whole plant vegan? Just because you don't eat grains, legumes, eggs or meat, or use oils, potatoes or paper products doesn't mean they're not significantly cheaper. And I've found oranges, apples, grapes, bananas, and avocados significantly cheaper at times because I shop elsewhere for green produce so I can compare. As I said, I don't use highly processed garbage, but my guess is those would be more expensive.

they have good produce. Celery sticks and broccoli are the only reason i go there
its garbage, the cheese and sauce are bland and have to be drowned in parmisan cheese and red pepper flakes

>I eat only whole plant foods
Sorry to hear that, faggot.

Are all warehouse store groceries memes?

If you dont like the usa quit posting on OUR internet boards.

RD is the shit.

I buy 50 pound bags of flour from there, cheap produce, primal cuts, and pasteurized egg yolks that come in a carton. Sometimes I go in on a whole wheel of cheese with a few other people.

who /BJs/ here

costco and sams club are a massive meme with the exception of prescriptions usually cost less there

costco reaffirmed my faith in capitalism. it's almost like the mom-and-pop tier of old.

I dont know where u fags live but we have an H-Mart here and their produce is the bees knees and its cheap as fuck. I agree tho people who hate on costco are just mad they aren't members.

>H-mart
one opened by my work yesterday and my asian co worker said they have the best food court ever. i went there to eat and they told me everything i ordered was only cooked after 4 because thats when the menu changes even there is no indication of that anywhere on their menus or tv menus. after REEEEing pretty hard at the manager i told them to fuck off and left

literally 0/10 store

yes but its a grocery store more than it is a food court. literally 30 different kinds of soy sauce. open your eyes/10

i dont thin you understand, i sperged out like no other in a fit of autistic screeching. i can never go back there

lol

Winco is far better
>Don't need to pay to shop there
>No club card, gas points, or people haranguing you to sign up for shit
>No crappy advertisements playing on the loudspeaker while you're shopping
>Good selection in their meat/produce sections, bulk product is super cheap as well
>Always open
Winco is the only store that I haven't really seen really shitty behavior or terrible things, come to think of it.

Life pro tip, you don't need a membership to use their Pharmacy. Just tell Shieneiqua at the door you're going to the Pharmacy.

im sitting here eating off-brand sour patch kids i picked up there as i type this lol

When I was a poor college student I loved Winco. Everything was cheap as fuck, could get a whole weeks worth of groceries for 20$.

The only time it sucked was near the first of the month, because it was swarmed with EBT families and checkout took years.

Even if I didn't buy food at Costco I'd go there just for the tp and paper towels.

worth it if you know someone who already has a membership and your buying long term items like coffee, beans, potatoes,rice, pasta, tea, paper towels, napkins, or if youre throwing a large party. also if you want to make filet mignon without being robbed of house and home ( alton brown has a good eats episode about this) also if you need any kind of pharmaceuticals costco is the bomb.also if you have a certain snack food you really like, like popcorn or cereal.

don't you still need the card at check out?

Coffee isn't long-term, unless you mean raw beans. Whole roasted beans are good for a couple weeks, and grounds a few hours.

i go to costco for beer and liquor because you save just a bit more. more bang for your bucks. the best part is u dont need a costco membership for their liquor. you should be able to walk right in.

It's a bulk store, retard. The large portions are meant to be shared between people or eaten over an extended period of time.

Costco is great for that role, better than Sams

I was looking at per-unit prices. All the fresh produce was priced higher per pound.

I have found a small number of worthwhile items since starting this thread.

Wrong thread, bud. Most of us are probably kissless virgins anyway.

Why do you sperg?

>Their meat is of higher quality
Just so you all know that ALL meat at COSTCO was blessed by Muslim imam and was dedicated to their god allah and has labels stating that the meat now is halal.

Do some google searches if that is an issue for you according to your faith.

a) Allah Most High says: “Eat not of (meats) over which Allah’s name has not been pronounced. That would be impiety.” (al-An’ am, V. 121)

ARE YOU EATING FOOD SACRIFICED TO IDOLS?

I stopped buying meat at COSTCO or other places where they advertise and label meat as being halal.
You can find local butchers talk to them and make sure that they don't sell meat dedicated to muslim god allah.

Of course this restricts your choices where you buy your meat but if from your religion point of view you are commanded not to eat foods meats dedicated to idols
you must think about it seriously if you will ignore that or will you obey your God.

Of course we did eat halal meat before not knowing that was halal, but now that you learned about it you have different responsibility now, will you honor and obey your God or will you ignore your God.

Choice is yours from now on.

I understand that Veeky Forums now is owned by Japanese guy
it's not American board any more, so relax user

But Halal meat is much tastier.

Ruining your own diet because some priest told you to is bizarre.

fuck off shitskin

Typical ignorant racist.

yawn

>he's never had halal food
Spot the flyover

>ignorant
t. i hold no opinions centrist

Fuck off back to /pol/, ignoramus.

Islam, Judaism, and Christianity all come from the same sado-masochistic Abrahamic tradition. As a member of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the one true religion, and dare I say Veeky Forums's religion, I ignore whatever incantations the false god worshipping Jews, Christians or Muslims spew over their food, and focus on whatever is best in terms of quality and price.

>Judaism, and Christianity
Judaism and Chistianity yes,
but not islam

Wrong. Every comparative religion study of any validity classifies Islam as Abrahamic. Just do a google on "Abrahamic religion." Start with wikipedia and go to their references.

Then head on back to /pol/ and join the other tards.

my last word to you
you are an idiot
only relation islam has with Abraham is that one of Abraham's son Ishmael was born to Abraham's and Sarah's handmaiden Hagar,
but the same religion connection is false.
Connection to Abraham as his earthly father is correct but religious connection is false.

you do your research before you embarrass yourself even more

Now fuck off, you are dog to me.

>t. Adherent to one of the 3 sado-masochistic Abrahamic religions.

Incorrect, kid.

They have a few wines I like not available on my local supermarket.
Buying bulk beer is great for small LAN parties.
Some of their frozen stuff is nice.
Other than that, they suck.

Winco buyer here.

They've been good to me. They have their own Winco brand too, which are cheaper than brand name shits.

>niggers are this ignorant and angry

ITT: retards who failed maths

>hurr why is Costco more expensive??
>durr they're a wholesale store shouldn't it be cheaper

Learn price per unit you turbo autist

So you eat dirt and cow shit?

>mega-permanent forever alone virgin discovers that buying wholesale isn't as cost effective when you're buying for one

This is actually the reason.
Costco is for normies with families who only want to go grocery shopping once a month.
If you're some forever alone faggot, just get a handful of shit at Walmart every week.

very true but very funny post
great sense of humor user
give me kek

forever alone or no, costco can't be beat for fair trade organic whole bean coffee and cooking oil

those two things alone make membership worth it

even though i only go a few times a year

Well why did you do that? Are you a child?

I have a boyfriend and I shop for both of us because he works 12 hour shifts and doesn't want to do that on his days off. I looked at per-pound prices for the one and only volume they sell, and none of the fresh produce was cheaper than elsewhere. I have found a small number of other items to make a trip there worthwhile.

Once roasted, coffee beans are good for only a couple weeks. I buy raw beans in bulk and roast them at home. The per-pound price makes it look like a better deal than it is because there's so much water in them before roasting. I can drink it intermittently without them going stale and choose whatever roast I want at the time.

You shop there to not be around blacks

Dumb dumb stupidy head

my winco is 24/7 and dank, i buy tech stuff from costco

>shop there to avoid blacks

Not in Memphis.

Costco is really good for alcohol.

Lagavulin 16 for £38 a bottle? Yes please

Halal involves bleeding a critter out to death and that ruins the carcass with it. Kosher slaughter process is similar with different dune runes involved. Denmark has actually banned both on grounds of animal welfare.

>he didnt listen to harold covington and move to the pacific northwest

Instead you're surrounded by Indians and that one elderly Chinese man that walks at .02 miles an hour but you don't want to yell at him because he's a nice old man that's not actually doing anything wrong so you take it out on Shaqueefa the cashier and then you get kicked out by security and you don't even get to grab a hotdog on the way out

Its called i moved to the pacific northwest and i maybe see 1 black a day if that.

there aren't any blacks at mine for the most part but I've seen more asians than anywhere else besides dong market

depending on the state you can. Some other things can be done as well depending on where you live. In Florida you can buy alcohol from any of these kinds of locations without a membership by law.

What about asians? I don't mind the law abiding working kind

Yeah theres nips at mine but they hand out samples. Rather it be whites though

never been, just googled and theres one an hour away. is it a paid member place like costco or can i just walk in?

>Learn price per unit you turbo autist

it's literally on the price tags at every grocery store i've ever been to

I like h mart. Expensive meat though.

>tfw two extensive normal grocery stores nearby with great regular prices/specials
>whole foods within walking distance
>trader joes within walking distance

can pretty much shop for best price or best quality ingredient for anything without much effort

my cousin and brother in law shop there. Its a fucking nightmare, cause they have 2 kids. and fucking shopping with kids. But they end up spending $300 no problem, and its just big loads of crap. Like, if they wanted to actually save, they would plan there meals better. They have the best poutine in Canada. Cheese curds the size of your dick head. So for some of you that is small, for me it is about average.

Why not, all non-parasitic races should work together lest they be surrounded and individually annihilated by dindus.

The last time I was there, one of the employees at checkout was roughly finger twirling the stuff I just bought. WTF?

>Not shopping at superior WinCo
Employee owned, refuses debit cards, sources as much as they can locally.
Dirt. Fucking. Cheap.

$40 worth of groceries from Albertsons costs me about $25 at Winco and I usually end up leaving with more of it.
>Albertsons dozen eggs: $1.25
>Winco: $0.83

costco is good for half gallons of booze, paper towels, toilet paper, eggs, cheese, coffee, condiments, bulk spices. I get a small jug of garlic powder that lasts almost 6+ months for 4 bucks.

>Chinese man that walks at .02 miles an hour

hahaha I had serious laughter session reading your post (twice)

user your post is so funny but you are so correct, the chinese walk in such slow motion that it hurts watching it,
yet people are all over them how ancient chinese medicine is much superior to western medicine,
yet I'm asking how come when you look at their old population they are as fucked as everybody else,
yet their whole life they are eating all kinds of weird shit that stinks to high Heaven when cooked but does shit all for them at the end.

Next time if you really like to have fun get a recording on your phone of a loud car horn, or even car tires squealing and noises of smashed up cars in accident
and play that behind slow moving chinese shopper, that will get them to move to the side in a nano fucking second.

My Costco stocks local farm eggs and I get two dozen for $1.80
If you shop deals and get certain things, Costco can be worth it. But Winco is also great. I'm luck that I have both within a 5 mile radius of me

Well being a fucking faggot limits the amount of deals you get

They're like a costco, retard

Who the fuck shops at Costco for cheaper food? I thought the point was to buy stuff in bulk? I buy from there because they sell gigantic quantities of the things I need. I wasn't even aware that people thought it was cheaper.

For some things, the price per item is cheaper than stores because of the size

>refuses debit cards

My Winco takes debit card? Why is not taking debit cards a positive thing?

Are you really saying you would buy things in larger quantities even if they were more expensive. This is neet super level 3 levels.

>refuses debit cards

That is like refusing cash. There is 0 cost from using a debit card. Do you mean a credit card? Sounds like a winco customer

I guess I don't really pay attention to whether it's cheaper or not. I go there when I want to stock up on large quantities of things. I have a pretty secure job, so I guess I've never had to worry of what things would be cheaper to buy

because after trying to order 5 dishes and being told those were not being made yet with literally 0 indication that they were not being made i assumed they were retardedly incompetent or fucking with me which made me very very angry

>whole plant foods
Forgive us, we didn't know you were a faggot.

this arrogant

I shop there because I can buy large bags of stuff I can't get anywhere else. The fresh produce section also has seasonal items like Chanterelles.

Similar to Costco, but way more industrial feel. You will need membership, but you can do a first time guess. Memebership I think can have up to like 5 people.

>refuses debit cards

this child doesn't know the difference between debit and credit.

lol but costco sells pork
