    But isn't there a guy who stands at the entrance and only lets you in if you have a membership card?

    something to chew on.

    Costco apparently makes 70% of their money from membership fees.

    their prices on electronics are never competitive.

    They are exactly the same, or higher than, other big box stores.

    It's great if you buy in bulk, especially meat products, especially if you have a large household. Its worth it, depends on your current situation.

    Does anyone know if there is a specific time of year when Costco offers 'benefits' with new memberships?

    I've done this several times over the years.....although last time I was at Costco in Halifax, the Customer Service employee told me I am permitted to shop in-store with a Costco GiftCard/CashCard twice per year using a 'day-pass' since I am not a member and would be refused if I tried to exceed that, or they'd deduct the membership fee from the giftcard/cashcard on my third time annually. My work-around would be to take a friend with me and have them request the 'day pass' to use the card.

    I do like that you can order anything from Costco.ca without a membership and it's free shipping right to your home.

    Speaking of free shipping, Costco will deliver non-perishables to Southern Ontario homes on orders over $75 soon.

    Only non-perishable goods will be available through the service, which comes with a guarantee of delivery within two days. There will be no delivery surcharge for orders over $75.The company says "hundreds of grocery items," including health and beauty products and vitamins and supplements, will be available for delivery.
