Every family has their go-to store, whether its Walmart, Food Lion, Sam’s Club, Red Front, or anywhere else for groceries. However, one store stands out among the rest, Costco. Costco is the best store to shop at when it comes down to grocery shopping, and here are 10 reasons why:

Bulk food. First off, Costco sells huge quantities of food. This advantage cuts down the amount of trips families will need to take to the store. If your family is as busy as mine during the week, shopping at Costco for bulk foods is beneficial for not only the amount you’re getting, but also for the time you’re saving in the future.

Good deals. Who doesn’t love a good deal? Costco always has some type of deal going on. Whether it’s a reduced price on cereal, or a special vacation package, Costco is always making it easier for its customers to save some money.  

Large variety. Costco isn’t a normal grocery store. The wholesale store holds food, clothes, furniture, toys, vehicles, appliances, vacation packages, photo services, ophthalmology services, educational and business supplies and household essentials. This makes it a one stop shop and saves time for the average family.

Samples. Costco is constantly providing all sorts of samples for the customers to try. The samples are prepared fresh in front of you and are always properly proportioned. They are also delicious and free, which are two things that are hard to pass up.

Food court. Their food court has so many different and delicious food options. They have acai bowls, chicken bakes, frozen coffee, pizza and $1 churros. The food is cheap and delicious. Costco has made a few changes in hopes of making their food court healthier. These include making the smoothies more naturally sweetened.

Quality products. The items at this store are great quality. Their clothes last for a long time through all sorts of weather and conditions. They don’t rip or fade. Their furniture stays sturdy over time and doesn’t fall apart. Costco even tries to makes it so a customer has to rarely visit the return counter.

Unlimited warranty on non electronics. There is an unlimited warranty on all things except electronics. This means that no matter how long you’ve had a product, if something happens to go wrong, you can always return it or trade it in. This shows Costco’s loyalty to their customers.

No plastic bags. Costco doesn’t use plastic bags, instead they use cardboard boxes. This is important because it shows how they care for the environment.

Cheap prices. Who doesn’t love cheap prices? Costco always provides reasonable prices for the products they sell. This is good because the average family doesn’t want to spend a lot of money for just groceries.

Great customer service. Lastly, Costco has great customer service. The workers are always willing to help you find something, plan something or help you pick something out. They truly make Costco the best store.
