Costco is the world�s largest wine purchaser and distributor. They have crazy g😝 od proces on excellent wine.

..

Doesn't even have Kirkland liquor.. Booze selection overall is crap. And the prices aren't good either.

I can get down with some trail mix, all the kids snacks etc.

And toilet paper.

Buys hair gel by the case there.

Liquor is the Costco in Wayne nj. It�s worth the 30 minute drive for me. A 1.75 liter of there vodka is 16$ and I would put it with Tito�s for taste. You can also get a 18 year single malt whiskey for 55$ it�s very good for the price.

Generally, generic brands like Kirkland, CVS, etc are produced by your everyday name brands under a private label. The reason the house brands are so much cheaper is because the retailors buy at bulk pricing and are able to offer lower EVD pricing and still make a better margin on it.

So the next time you go into a store and one of the salespeople tells you that CVS's Dextromethomorphin gelcaps are the same as Delsym or Nyquil. It's absolutely true.

These are the go-to items that we buy there...

Milk / Almond Milk
Meat for the smoker - usually a large piece
Coffee beans
Sometimes fruit
Yogurt
Alcohol
Bread
Chips

there must be some psychology thing, like an anti-placebo effect, at play. I swear when I buy Walmart�s version of Claritin it�s never as effective as the real thing or even CVS�s version.

Just in a different box.

Probably my view of Walmart screws up my allergies.

(and not necessarily in your case) that many shoppers for OTC medicines don't really know what to buy.

There's a tendency to gravitate towards brands we know - like Nyquil or Mucinex. Vicks. Each of these in in of themselves have several varieties and potentially many different active ingredients which may or may not address the symptoms, or worse, interact with another medication they may be taking. Or even raise blood pressure in the case of Pseudoephedrine or other nasal decongestants.

When asked what they're feeling, they say that they've got a cold - which can mean anything. Is it nasal congestion or runny nose? A cough? Dry or with mucus? Sore throat? Often times they'll buy something with 4 or 5 active ingredients when a simple anti-histamine would do the trick. Or an expectorant when a simple lozenge with menthol would suffice.

In other words, I'm not really surprised when I hear people say, "the generic doesn't work for me," because generally they likely don't know what they need anyhow.

...their vodka is actually Grey Goose, their bourbon is Knob Creek and their scotch is Macallan.

Will make up their annual membership fee on one bottle of Kirkland single malt or XO Cognac...

is great.
