My favorite of the big box stores. Costco membership is the perfect thing to ask your relatives who don't know you very well for your birthday or Christmas.

Costco has everything from groceries to appliances to clothing. Besides the mystifyingly large containers of emerald green relish, they have bulk meat, veggies, cheese, eggs, and so on. If you have kids, this is a great place to stock up on juice boxes and packets of pretzels for their lunch. You can also pick up a vacuum cleaner or a queen-sized bed, or a best seller list book if the urge strikes you.

Costco, like other big box stores, is best visited on weekdays. I've found that going in the hour before they close keeps me from spending too much and from having episodes of shopping cart rage when the family of five parks both of their carts perpendicular to the aisle.

In some states, Costco has wine, beer and liquor. The prices are good. (via Mom)

While I hate to admin this, my wife and I love shopping at Costco and actually look forward to it. In fact, I spend so much money there they offered to upgrade me to the "Executive" membership for free last month. While the service there is hit-or-miss you just can't beat most of the deals on food, wine and even clothing once in a while.

I guess my only gripe is their "somewhat" limited payment options. While I love American Express I like to use point program on other cards as well like Discover or my Wells Fargo visa. Some flexibility there would be appreciated.

My favorite thing about Costco, besides the large variety of products that you can buy in bulk, is the variety of seasonal produce available. I can buy organic raspberries for the entire growing season there, in bulk for less than I can anywhere else in town. The same goes for organic salad mix and baby carrots.

Everything that I consume mass quantities of on a regular basis, I can buy there, save and waste less. Costco also has great deals on premium alcohol.
