Is a Costco membership worth it?

Re: Is a Costco membership worth it?
To be honest, its not just electronics they have a limited range on - most things are pretty restricted. We bought suitcases there today - there were 3 different sets to choose from. We also bought a mixer/blender thing - only 1 choice! I noticed they had 1 of those barrel composters, and maybe 3 or 4 different vacuum cleaners tops. The range of goods available in some categories changes very quickly as well - there's not a lot of "think about it and come back next week" as often, they are no longer selling the same thing next week!
Take care with electronics at Costco. Sometimes they are weird models exclusive to Costco. I think a lot of big box stores do that now to avoid price comparisons (oh no, that's a different model no...).

A lot of that will depend on the manager of that particular store and what he gets in. I know my local Costco gets prime cuts of beef, the one across town does not.

But Wal-Mart only does returns for like 10 days for electronics then its the manufacturer warranty to deal with.
Our TV is from Wal-Mart and it's an LG but the model number cannot for the life of me be found anywhere online including the LG website, seems to be a unique model to Wal-mart.

Wal-Mart does that with electronics as well, and generally the quality of say a computer from Wal-Mart won't on par with the same brand from another retailer.

Ours was previous years model still in box brand new and 40% off the previous price, so was a decent deal.
