We just ordered a lot of papergoods. No delivery charge.

If you order enough no charge. I did but they split it into two orders even though I had one order.

Then why are you buying these from Costco?

Let’s go back to what I originally said. I wasted my money getting a membership. It was suggested I order online, most everything I use was way more than I needed

It seems that Costco and similar stores have consistently offered products in larger sizes compared to other retail stores. I'm sorry to hear that it was disappointing for you.

right, way too big. I have boxes of appetizers in my freezer for literally years. Too tempting to buy stuff I can’t finish, or shouldn’t finish, like cheese itz

When I was single a friend and I would go to what was then Price Club (now Costco). We would split items. Worked out well for us. I know of several people who still do this.

Yes, Costco's target customer is not single people. I would have a hard time justifying a membership if it was just me, and even with two of us there are many items that I won't buy there because the sizes are just too large.

If you aren't able to use the membership, contact Costco and tell them you want to cancel. They'll cancel the membership and refund the entire year's membership fee you paid.

We have the Costco Citicard and use that for our membership ID. Our picture and membership numbers are on it. I hope this card works for their new scanning system. I haven't used my actual membership card for several years.

Same here with the Citibank card. I can tell you where the card doesn't work and that is to buy a hotdog at the kiosk at Costco Puerto Vallarta. No hotdog for Bill. I was really bummed out. They wouldn't take cash either.

I have been good about using the food out of the freezer before it gets older than 3 months. It's been a challenge, but I date and rewrap all meats and write dates on boxes as well. Buying a giant quantity of chicken breasts (frozen) is a challenge to use.

Three months -- color me impressed! I'll admit that I'm a bit embarrassed at how long some stuff has been in our freezer...

Mexico Costco locations are independent of USA Costco locations. They have their own credit card system. Things are not the same there as here.

What makes the Mexican Costco hot dog so tasty is they have jalapenos instead of relish. Good to know about the credit card system. I hadn't thought about it but that makes sense.
