 | | Love that Costco —Mario DeFacendis
|
| | | I was at Costco (Hwys. 400 & 7) today to buy a block of cheese, when I noticed the 8466 4x4 SUV has been reduced to $49.77. I quickly presented myself at the returns desk (with receipt in hand, of course) and they cheerfully refunded the difference. (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | G'Day Is anyone swinging by Costco in the next few days ? I would love to get one at that price. (maybe a silver champion too, if it is under a hundred bucks.)

Unfortunately I went to all the Costco's in the Hamilton area-- none :( If someone could pick me up one from the GTA, I'll gladly pay for it (as well as a bonus for the picking up bit) at dinner in January. If not, no worries. Dave (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I went to Costco this evening only to find out what I had suspected, but never confirmed: you need a membership. Well, I briefly considered purchasing a membership, (...)

| | | | (...) Yeah, unfortunately so. Costco is a frickin scam, but one I'm unfortunately addicted to with my family. It's something to do with the 3 pound pies, the giant strudels etc. (...)

| | | | | (...) <off topic... sorry!> For the uninformed, Costco can definately be described as a scam. BUT, if you know your prices (or possess a decent amount of common sense -- e.g. who the heck needs 5 litres of mayo?!?!?!!) then there are definate (...)

| | | | | | (...) Yup, we're veering off topic, but I think this is a sort of relevant one, since the topic of the 8466 deal involves this Costco business...overall, Costco can give some good deals. But there's some real issues and practices you need to be (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| | | | | | I'll just jump in here with my 2 cents USD worth of wisdom... Costco is a good deal if used sparingly and with some intelligence. As it happens, I am usually the cook of the household (as I am an unusually good cook) and as a consequence I tend to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

BTW I checked Costco today because at Scam's Club (whose membership I let lapse in November) you can shop there for (...)
