i apologize that you do not know how to CostCo correctly. you may return to the Kroger-Publix at anytime for a life spent in the aisle deciding between 86 permutations of jelly, foreclosed dreams and sandwiches of wistful regret. or, accept the invitation to meta-cognitive executive function.

Statistically speaking, these regular grocery stores – such as Kroger, for instance – have between 30,000 and 50,000 individual products, or stock keeping units (SKUs). A Walmart has about 100,000 SKUs. A typical Costco, on the other hand, has only about 3,800. And the increasingly popular Aldi cuts down on choice even more by carrying only about 1,400 SKUs.

join the Kirkland Signature Cult and come home to the freedom of commitment.

I shop at Aldi primarily and their prices are significantly lower than CostCo. I’d go to CostCo more if they were actually cheaper.

And just to be clear, many of the Kirkland food options are terrible. I have had enough poor tasting food items that I don’t buy much actual food there anymore. I find that my biggest reason to go to CostCo are the home goods since they are good quality and they have an excellent return policy.

aldi carries less selection choices than even costco… all you’ve done is proven my thesis: you don’t want more choices, you want less.

if you want to learn more about yourself, I’ll be here all week.

Absolutely want choice, I would only buy staples at CostCo or Aldi. I should at higher end grocery stores for everything where I do get the options I’d like. You’re smarmy dickishness was wonderful though, keep up the good work.
