I'll add two other benefits: 1. Poor people can group up to split both the membership fee and bulk items. Especially things like soap or razors with big discounts. 2. Costco also makes healthier stuff available at low cost that you might not match per ounce or whatever elsewhere. The Grow Right Orange Juice (2-pack), mix of rice/amaranyh/eyc (5-pack), and Go Organic Detergent are examples in our household. This will appeal to working-class and up mostly but some poor people still get some healthy stuff. Esp for kids or folks that are sick. Aldi is first choice, though, since remodel added tons of healthier stuff.
