    I bought a computer at Costco in 2011. By 2012 the hard drive failed. Costco got on the phone with Toshiba and mediated on my behalf every step of the way to make sure Toshiba took care of me. The Costco employee even called me after my computer was returned to make sure everything met my expectations. Even though Costco has a different return policy regarding their electronics, you still have extra protection from Costco. I would definitely buy electronics from Costco again in the future.

    I live on my own so my mom asked why I’d get a Costco membership, but I bought one pack of toilet paper for $16 in July 2020 and I’m just now running out!! I do the same with deodorant and toothpaste!

    • @MzavHoofster
      @MzavHoofster 3 года назад +6

      Another Costco hack, if you have a Costco gift card, you can go into the store up to 2 times a year to spend it. So if you ask your mom for Costco gift cards twice a year, then you won’t need a membership at all! Especially if what you are buying lasts 6+ months anyway...

      Depends on your value of time. The Costco I shop at often has a very long line for gas. To me, that level of savings is not worth waiting 15+ minutes for gas before I go into the store.

    I love these types of videos, they are so helpful! I heard that Costco doesn’t label their aisles because they want you browse through the aisles and purchase things not on your list. They also put the best sellers (TP and the rotisserie chickens) in the back for the same reason. Loved your tips 😊

    As a computer lab tech at a college I can tell you their prices on computers and monitors beats Best Buy 1000 percent. Best deal the Samsung computer monitors under $200 (depends on sale) for 27-28 inch, unbeatable. I have even gotten the 32" for 200.

    Holy grail food item: whole rotisserie chickens (best value anywhere, hands down) AND the pre-shredded rotisserie chicken in the cold deli case - it costs a little more per ounce, but if you're already planning on shredding up the chicken for use in soups/salads/etc it's so easy and you get a bunch without having to buy multiple chickens.

    Hey Mai, love your video. I agree on everything you said 100%. I just wanna add something because i spoke to one of the staff when i was returning some clothing that my husband bought. He bought some pants on a Wednesday, I went to Costco and bought something on Thursday and took a picture of the same pants with the price because I noticed that it was cheaper or price went down. I went to return the same item on a Friday and told them that i took a pix of the price and voila! They gave me a price adjustment. The staff told me that the price of some clothing they marked it down on Thursdays from $5-$10. Since then, shopping at Costco for me is every Thursday😊. Btw, this is in Dallas, Texas.

    We shop at Costco almost exclusively. Holy grails: beauty products bought online (their website has proven to have some great deals on cosmetics and perfumes), diapers, cooking oil, paper towels, great deals on clothes when bought online with special sales, pasta, kalamata olives, feta cheese, free range eggs, Kerrigold butter, smoked salmon. And a lot more... but these are some of the things we get most regularly and at great prices.

    While the return policy isn’t the same with electronics, 90 days is still significantly more than most places. Most have a month or even less in some cases to return items, and some require the item to be in brand new condition. If you know exactly what you want, it’s not a huge deal, but if you’re trying things out, you kinda have to know what you want beforehand at some of these places. Costco has a time limit of 90 days, but the item doesn’t have to be in brand new condition.

    Costco’s electronic return policy is 90 DAYS ! Other places including Best Buys is only 14 days!! And most of Costco’s TVs and laptops are made specifically for Costco so they won’t have the same model numbers as other retailers. Making it hard to price match.

I’ve gotten some great deals over the years. I’m still working thru the 3 pack of press and seal cling wrap I purchased almost SEVEN years ago 😭 I remember because I had just started my current job and that was July 2014...
    I also got my car thru Costco?? I am a terrible negotiator so it saved me a lot of hassle and the price I paid was absolutely lower than what I would have been able to negotiate.

    I disagree about women's clothing. They carry good brands like addias, puma, nautica, fila. I like their sports wear especially their hoodies and joggers. They always carry nice jackets. I own so many for every season. I love their PJ'S. They carry name brand jeans. Costco is my go to for clothes bc their return policy is so great. If I changed my mind about something or got something in the wrong size I can easily return it.

    Do you happen to know where all the returned merchandise ends up for the Costco's in your area.
