You have to be a member to shop here. Members only. Sorry. Itās called luxury branding. Canāt let just anybody in on these deals. These softer than soft, warm, fuzzy deals. Better luck in the next life.Ā Whatās that, you donāt need a membership to buy online? Aw naw!

if you live by yourself or with just one other person you might say āWhy do I need to buy bulk? I donāt have enough storage for 300 rolls of toilet paper.ā
But itās not about quantity itās about quality and serviceā¦
Their buyers are pretty selective about assessing the value of prospective goods to sell. Their generic label Kirkland Signature aims to sell products that are of equal or better quality than name brands for a lower price (I buy K-Sig organic olive oil, organic coconut oil, blocks of aged parmigiano reggiano, organic lemon ginger kombucha, organic cashews, frozen wild sockeye salmon, grass fed butter from new zealand)ā¦
Their prices on imported cheese are crazy and Iām always buying stupid fun new snacks desserts and treats there to try. I donāt really drink anymore but their alcohol selection is great.
You can return anything at any time no questions asked with the exception of electronics which has a time window. Twice when I was a broke young woman I returned all of my uneaten and half-eaten pantry and frozen foods including literally one ravioli and got like $200 cash (I donāt do this anymoreā¦ donāt do this)ā¦ I do return and repurchase my sonicare toothbrush nearly every year because they have some kind of a manufacturing defect that makes the motor break prematurely and I would rather deal with Costco than go to the manufacturer.
Donāt even get me started on the luxury bidet deals and this is a whole other necessity I will get into at a later time.
They sell luxury beauty items and fragrance at a significant markdown on their site.
Prescriptions are cheaper there than nearly anywhere else and you donāt even need a membership to buy them.
They offer discounts to members like insanely cheap rental cars and moving trucks, travel packages, auto/home/pet insurance, and they have an auto buyer program where Costco pre negotiates a deal for you with local dealerships.
In fiscal year 2023 Costcoās profit margin was only 2.6% and they make 73% of their profit from membership sales so they really are giving you a great value for your membership. Iāve heard they treat their employees well. And if you get an executive membership and shop there often enough with the check you get at the end of the year the membership pays for itself.
No I donāt work for Costco but I swear my eternal fealty to themā¦

That thing is your style. Probably itās still raw, which is why others donāt see what you see. Refine your thing, your idiosyncrasy. Sharpen it but donāt smooth out all the rough edges, these are what stick in peopleās brains. Be inelegant. Be brave.

This new limited series on Netflix is causing a lot of controversy in the archaeological community. Graham Hancock, the host, loves to say, āHuman beings are a species with amnesia.ā To prove this he travels around the world to pre-historic sites and makes the argument that an advanced human civilization existed during the last Ice Age before being wiped out by asteroid strikes around 12,800 years ago. Iām a natural born skeptic, but Iāve read several of Hancockās books and they raise a lot of questions that archaeologists havenāt, or canāt, sufficiently answer.Ā Ā Sometimes I wonder why Iām so interested in the mysteries of prehistory. The conclusion Iāve come to is that they calm me by making my own problemsāfinishing my Perfectly Imperfect, writing the next book, deathāfeel less significant.

Coyotes are a problem where I live. They have no fear of humans because weāre mostly wimps. So they cruise around without a care, day and night, looking for garbage, puppies, and slow children to eat. Yesterday, a coyote ran up on my dogs so I beaned it with a bag of their poop. Wolf urine isnāt 100% effective as a coyote deterrent but it works better than Morganās shampoo. Plus itās an aphrodisiac.
