That's the role Costco has been filling for a lot of Americans recently. Most of the time you are going to find something at a decent price, that may not be best in class but at least it's going to be near the top of the price/utility curve.
- el_benhameen 3y agoI’ve switched a large percentage of my shopping to Costco for this reason. Like Amazon, I can return it no questions asked if it sucks. Unlike Amazon, it probably won’t suck.

- paulddraper 3y ago100% You might not find what you're looking for at Costco. But if you do find it, you can be confident it's a great value.
- dv_dt 3y agore: price/utility curve That's so correct. Every other retailer it feels like wants to focus on competing on price by ever lower quality. I strongly prefer paying more for higher quality of things are not junk. Low quality is a waste of resources and of my time.
- Clamchop 3y agoI struggle with Costco's inconsistent assortment of products and poor online presence. I don't like going there to be crowded for two or three hours only to walk out with $300 in impulse purchases (I am weak, especially to food) but not what I came for. And they're not good for all things. Their furniture might be reasonable quality but none of it belongs in my home, for example. Gigantic and dated-looking.
