Well worth it if you care about quality & service
Have you seen any commercial or flyers from Costco? Never! Then why most of the time Costco is so crowded with all those people who pay $50+GST every year to shop there? And often they leave with their carts fully loaded? That explaines everything.........Also something else to bear in mind, typical Canadian family doesn't go much beyond a couple and one or two kids, no in-laws or parents included. And yet they still consume enough grocery to make shopping at Costco worth it.
As to what to buy at Costco, yes, milk and eggs are their traditional "cheap" items, but other shops are promoting milk/eggs at very competitive price. Shoppers still go to Costco.
When you have little kids at home, Costco is a good place to shop for anything going into their lunchboxs and after school readings. For adults, frozen food (e.g., easy-peel shrimps, cheese, cereal, meat, bread) are of top quality for the price. And the books at the Costco are often very good, useful and cheap. Only I am not impressed with their clothing selection. But who buys clothing from Costco anyways. And there is a often neglected section of home decoration, tablewares, coffee mugs, are of super quality.
What's missing from Costco is probably their marketing strategy......if they had marketed well enough, people won't be asking this kind of question, "is it worth to get a membercard".
Or well, what do I know about marketing. No marketing is one kind of marketing strategy too. Costco doesn't seem to need one.

Re: Well worth it if you care about quality & service
您已经中毒很深了， 每天吃着哪些并不便宜的container unhealth food,还乐得屁颠式的在这里宣传。。从你个人的例子就足以证明costco的marketing的成功了。
还有需要提醒你的， 成功的销售不代表他们的服务和产品受益与consumers！麦当佬就是个很好的例子， 他们的market target就是小孩，给玩具建乐园，小孩一去大人也去， 小孩长大了记得他们儿时去的地方再带他们的下一代去，不得不承认是非常成功的生意， 但你心里清楚的知道他们的食物是不健康的， 也不便宜！
你明显的在误导人们>>数量是决定质量。
再说了， Costco根本没必要去发什么flyers， 因为从你买了membership开始， 你就是个上钩的鱼。。你一定会去的，而且也不可能就是去买那便宜的鸡蛋和牛奶的！ 这样不仅省了他们的广告钱，还让你以为拣个大便宜式的出来为他们做免费宣传。。呵呵 他们的marketing strategy不成功？？ 我看你到是真的蛮愚蠢的。
如果你能例出他们长期很便宜的东西(on sale 不算， 因为每个店都有他们最便宜的东西on sale 而且是不固定save money)， 我就一定能在OTTAWA找到比他们还便宜的地方。

销售策略不一样,Costco经常有一些东东便宜上个把块钱,但绝对没有超级便宜的.可你也绝对不会被它坑的.不象其他的店,搞出来几个超级便宜甚至是低于成本价的东西,好把顾客吸引到他们的店里去,去了你总会买点其他东西吧,他们就在其他东西上赚回来.如果有超级便宜的东东,顺道买回来也就罢了,特意地shop around the whole town and buy a little bit here and there是不是太累了.如果有人不嫌累,绝对也是好事.我想大部分人每周都只是在固定的几个地方购物.综合来讲,Costco是非常不错的.价格公道,质量不差.如果你办一张Amex+Costco卡,这个会费也就找回来了.每年的cash rebate有多少就看你Amex上的年花销额了.我们家总是能搞个一二百块钱回来的.这个cash rebate只能在Costco花.不过也不错了,能抓上几样东西不用给钱啦.

他的牛奶鸡蛋确实还比较便宜，但如果只是买菜，不去也罢。
我认为COSTCO的一些大件还是比较便宜的，往往买一件就值了会员费了， 例如：
1) 曾买一个PS2游戏机，当时比了futureshop and bestbuy，最后还是costco便宜50左右。
2)曾买一个DVDwriter，比较同样品牌后，也是costco便宜，还不用mail in rebate。
3)sony高清晰电视也比futureshop(经讲价和给折扣后)便宜300块。
4)家具上也是如此，虽然不同品牌，不好比，但同种1000左右的家具，在和渥太华一些知名的大店比较(以能看上眼为标准)，感觉还是costco的要便宜200-300左右，当然你不能延期付款。
大家不是傻瓜，如果他没有任何优点，也不会有这么多人去的，但也不可能每样都便宜，因为也没这么傻的商人。
