The Costo Chronicles: The Membership

Costco Wholesale is company that prides itself on selling high quality goods in bulk, at competitively low prices. Set in a warehouse, Costco Wholesale sells EVERYTHING from produce, to furniture at very low, affordable prices. The catch? In order to shop there you must have a membership. Fear not, these memberships only cost $50 dollars a year, and they completely pay for themselves. For example:

90 tablets of generic Prozac cost $117 at Walgreens, $115 at Eckerd and CVS but only $12 at Costco. That's $105 in difference.

180 pills of Metformin are $110 at Walgreens, $106 at Eckerds, $113 at CVS, but only $33 at Costco. That's an $80 difference.

Costco's biggest price advantages resign in their jewlery, meats, medicine, and gas.
