Now in NZ! Are Costco any good?
NZ’s first Costco warehouse opened in West Auckland (about 35 minutes from here) today. I haven’t signed up for a membership ($60Nz a year) yet. Are they any good?

Costco is great just make sure it’s worth it. Prices on everything have skyrocketed so deals are hard to find.

They will let you do a visit to look around so that you can decide if you want a membership.

I suppose fresh meats, fish, shellfish, and produce will be very different in New Zealand vs Texas, but: We routinely get colored bell peppers, protein shakes, beef, steelhead trout, almonds, supplements, and alkaline batteries at Costco. We gave up on their walnuts as they were rancid twice.

When we first joined, we overdid it buying edible things in bulk. It was fun and they have some interesting junk foods.

They also bring in temporary food products often. Free samples can con you into throwing something like chocolate-covered macadamias into your cart.

They have a great return policy.

I’ve never seen any books or clothing I like, but my husband likes their socks.

Furniture: I’ve seen some outdoor furniture I like. Lately they’ve been carrying total electric body massage chairs. If we ended up with one of those, I’d become a chair addict: Late to work thanks to sitting in my chair. Not coming to the party as I will be sitting in my chair at that time.

Toys: We have found things for great nieces/nephews and grandkids, but it is not really the best place for that type of Christmas shopping.

I’m just going on and on because it’s 1:00 am my time and unable to sleep. Just go for a visit to make a decision.

If they stock the same quality foods as in the US, then YES! They have the best meats here in the US. The organic chicken breasts and chicken thighs and sirloin steaks and flank steak is what I like to buy in bulk there. Then there's lots of case items I'll buy there too. Their store brand is Kirkland. I like their beef jerky. Every time I go there I come out with about $600 to $800 of stuff. Their prices aren't necessarily a bargain, but they stock a lot of quality items that you can't find elsewhere.

Costco and HyVee are the 2 best places here in the US to shop for food.

They're good. A lot of their store brand Kirkland stuff is high quality. For example their olive oil is real olive oil produced from their own olive farms, not the fake shit you usually find in grocery stores.

I forgot this: We also get Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, Balsamic Vinegar, Coffee Mate, and Splenda at Costco. (Yes I consume Coffee Mate and Splenda. I know it’s junk.) I get my Olive Oil from elsewhere.

Yeah but there's a loophole where you can buy a gift card and use that to get inside, even if you don't have a membership.

Re: Now in NZ! Are Costco any good?
Oh, one additional thing about Costco. They don't provide any bags for your stuff. You can often get an empty box for a bunch of smaller items. But it's not guaranteed there will be a box always available. When I go there, I'll toss a few plastic totes in the back of my vehicle. I'll fill them when i get back to my vehicle. The case items I can just toss in the vehicle. The individual items I'll pack in the totes, along with meats and eggs and frozen items. Their carts are larger than other stores, but sometimes I'll fill two of them. That's when I have to bring someone else along to push the second cart. It's an hour drive to the nearest Costco (I live out in the country), so I don't get there frequently. When I do go, I'll buy a LOT of stuff.

They sell top brand spirits for less than you'll get them anywhere else here in the US.

Their Kirkland brand vodka, for example, is made by the same folks who make Grey Goose vodka, etc.
