Why is a Costco membership worth paying for?
1. Buy products at low prices
Prices at Costco are slightly lower than prices for similar products in other stores. For example, a mixture of frozen vegetables costs $ 0,28 / 100 g instead of $ 0,45 / 100 g, while Costco mixes have vegetables that are not available in other stores.
Additionally, organic large eggs at Costco cost $6,39 for two dozen or $0,26 per egg. The same eggs at another store sell for $5,85 for 18 eggs, or $0,32 per egg. Since eggs are a highly sought-after item, Costco offers significant savings.
2. Go shopping less
Since Costco allows you to make bulk purchases, you can shop less than before. You can stock up on products for at least 2-3 weeks and not go to the grocery store every day.

3. Participate in free promotional tastings
It may sound ridiculous, but at Costco you can have a little snack. The store is full of delicious free samples of new products that people usually don’t pay attention to. This is not only a good advertising move of the company, but also the opportunity to try something new and unusual for free.
4. Possibility to book a vacation
Often, travel prices at Costco are much lower than at other travel companies. But this is only subject to membership.
For example, you can relax in a resort in Cancun (Mexico), cost $ 1775 per person for seven nights. Everything is included in this price: air tickets, an airport transfer, accommodation and food. Other companies offer a similar package of services for at least $ 1950 per person. And the money saved can be spent with pleasure during the holidays.
