RE: The Costco Thread: What Do You Buy At Costco?
Man I've been living above a Costco for two years now.
That place changes a man.
Its like its run by some mad AI supercomputer when it comes to stocking products. Most of the products are local, which is crazy for a huge company. From there, they seem to know demographics better than any store I know.
I have been going to this Costco for five years, and in that time the demographics went from a mix of Euro Canadian and Chinese Canadian, to now a lot of Russian and Korean immigrants. The store now has local products that cater to those demographics, almost overnight it seems.
Do people talk to Costco and write down what they want to see at a particular Costco? How do they know this shit? And talking to the staff there, they make over $20/hr with full benefits.
Great company, how they manage to stay out of the SJW hit list is beyond me.
I spend $6K a year there now. That mostly feeds my family and takes care of most of the household items too.
- AAA grade Alberta beef, I buy the strip loin or sirloin and cut them into steaks.
- Fresh burger patties are good
- Fresh Wild sockeye
- Fresh wild albacore
- Fruit
- Coconut oil
- Coffee
- Carbonated water
- Vodka, Port, Champagne
- Boxed salad
- Roasted chicken, buy two and massacre them like cavemen with my son, after the gym. Then bone broth.
This sounds like my shopping list, so I'll just stop there.

RE: The Costco Thread: What Do You Buy At Costco?
^^^ Laner: Good stuff man!
There is a Costco down in Kanagawa, on the edge of Yokohama. I am not a member, but an American buddy of mine who lives near there is. Once every few months I join him for a shopping foray. The insane ORDER of the Japanese meets the gargantuan SCALE of the Americans. I truly love that place -- trips there are always well and truly *touchstoned*.
I live alone so I don't buy much, but I always pick up several massive jars of Skippy peanut butter, as well as almond butter, sacks of walnuts, and other things that will keep for a long time. The last time I even bought one of those short-sleeved button-down white dress shirts -- the kind the Japanese salarymen wear in the summer, with the one breast pocket. So I fit right in, LOL. Cotton, made in the USA!!
There's a pizza place inside the store, where they sell thick-doughed slices bigger than my head for a hundred yen. Most of the afternoon we just wander around hamming it up, teasing the little obaa-san retirees who work there part-time giving out samples of food, or chatting with the African immigrant stock boys, or making time with the J-MILFs who are shopping during the day. Good times.
