I also am retired, and I just figure Costco is worth it for me based on the cost of gas, I enjoy going to Costco and walking around looking to see if I can find any new deals. For instance I got a $14 microwave (not a return) they were trying to get rid of. I have purchased a spiral ham a few days after New Years for $6.00. I love shopping their clothes, and I love the samples. I just really like Costco.
I think Costco does put some effort into making shopping a cross between an adventure and a hunting trip. They unquestionably have some pretty good values, especially on the close-outs. Thank you for your comment.

Great analysis. The quality of the meat is important to me. The fruit and veggies do seem to be a little fresher as well.
The fruit really does seem better than grocery store fare, for sure. Thank you for your comment.
