@Q-Checker No, I was just browsing. I figure people can go online and get the info they need to make a decision. They don't often demonstrate products unless a product rep comes to sell. They do feed you though if you go at the right time of the day. their choice, not yours though. I could've had roasted potatoes and a vitamin drink today. Weekends has more food to try, but the crowds are ridiculous. But you can get a hotdog and a coke for $1.50 any day.

IMO Any 6th grader can read the instructions. No need to listen to David or Mark Charles babble on for 15 minutes. I'd rather save the cash and buy at Costco

@Kachina624 I have the basic membership and what I save on a number of things more than compensates for it!

@Icegoddessand @scatcat -- glad to hear how much you like Costco since I am one of their long term stockholders

No but they stopped us in the aisles and told us about their latest vacations and updated us on their kids' latest adventures. In their PJ'S while holding a glass of wine.

@Love my grandkids. As a family of one, I don't buy enough to justify it. Don't have room to store large quantities of anything.

I've always been opposed to the idea of paying some corporation to shop in their store. Don't they make enough profit on what they sell?

Very interesting and the prices are good but am wondering about the brands. Most of what is pictured, are ones I have never heard of. Wonder if the same manufacturer makes them as the brand name ones? As for the Ninja outdoor grill/smoker, I bought mine from HSN for $299 the last time it was a TS so that price is really great if it is the same model I bought. I don't go to Costco--I have no car and no place to store such big sizes and quantities---have a tiny apartment.

@wagirl I have heard of the Gourmia brand, but I don't know anything about it. However, there was a thread on here recently where people were buying much cheaper versions of a recent Le Creuset Dutch Oven at Aldi's, so I figured the brand shown here was worthwhile to show. It's always up to the shopper to research their purchases.
