Most of my Costco purchases are consumable goods -- fruits, vegetables, meat, and other produce. Things that I wouldn't even consider Amazon for. That gets me in the door, and, from there, it wins again over Amazon for convenience since I am already there. They have an excellent return policy and the employees genuinely seem happy and I know that they are well compensated and have health care benefits.

Don't get their bananas, though, they go from green to brown, completely bypassing yellow. I'm pretty sure that they are getting too cold at some point in the supply chain.

The same goes for their avocados. I'm not sure what the problem is, but they're pretty lousy in my experience. Trader Joe's seems to have the best deal on these that I've found, and they seem to last a long time too.
