Discovering Costco Wholesale: Why Every Business Should Consider a Costco Membership
I'm here at Costco Wholesale, where I'm going to take a quick tour to show you the different products they sell and explain why I have this membership card. Costco Wholesale is a worldwide wholesale store, and to shop around, you'll need to create a membership card, whether for individual use or trade. If you run a business, you can become a Costco Business member.
A benefit of a Costco Business membership is that you can enter earlier than individual members. Executive memberships give you bonus points whenever you shop. The memberships last for one year, after which you may renew. You can take two guests with you to enter, so for those without a membership, they can tag along with a family member or friend who has one at Costco Wholesale.
Now, at Costco Wholesale, there are a variety of different items that you may not see in your local department stores. When I first arrived here and explored this huge place, it was like having different stores combined into one. They sell electronic goods, from TVs, laptops, cameras, appliances to furniture, DIY tools, clothing, kids' toys, skincare, and much more.
Pretty much every day, they have stalls around to give customers a chance to taste different food items before buying. One of the reasons I have this card is because of their bakery—the cakes are fresh and cheap. They also make customized party cakes. In one of my previous videos, I go through in detail how to order a Costco cake, so do check that out.
While I'm here, one of the things on my list to purchase is falafels. I believe there are about thirty in this box for just $3.99. That's a bargain for the price and taste. Also, the hummus in jalapeño flavor—500 grams for $1.99—and the best-before date lasts longer compared to other supermarkets.
When it comes to food, drinks, and household items, they normally sell in big quantities, and the prices are reasonable compared to finding the items elsewhere. However, sometimes I find that the same branded items are cheaper in other stores than in Costco Wholesale, probably due to special offers.
Always check the pricing while shopping at Costco Wholesale, as there are prices with VAT and without VAT on a majority of the items. For people who run a Costco Business or those individuals planning a party, Costco is one of the best places I've come across to shop for all your food and drinks.
I've had this membership card for two years now, and I can honestly say it's worth it. Not only do you get one card, but another family member can get one free too. Not to forget, this place also has an eating area, opticians, sells car tires, and offers various services.
Personally, I shop here maybe once or twice a month because of the different foods and drinks you can get in bulk when I need them, their delicious big cakes, and finally, cheap, good-quality fuel that's better than what you find at supermarkets. So if there’s a Costco near you, check it out, and I'll catch you in the next one.
