Cost. Co - Part 5 - Lifestyle. I still shop there. The produce is fresher than colesworth and I like the random stuff they have there sometimes. Picked up a pair of TH pj's for $2. The missus and i were out west the other day and decided to have a quick looksie. I was going to go to the Adelaide one to check out their range and prices.

Then I found it has a $6. I want to browse, and not buy. Not initially, anyway. Watch An American Tail Online Hoyts there. Go in, browse, check the range, check the prices for later comparison shopping.

If they have something I want, and the price is competitive despite the $6. Like a normal store.

Paying a membership fee up front pretty much guarantees people who walk in, will buy – just about anything. Desperate to get a bargain and justify the $6. Rational thinking goes out the window and you end up with something you normally would not buy. Too much pressure, I will give it a miss. Aldi, where are you? Saw a pair of earrings in Costco on the weekend for $3. Seriously. rupes.

Saw a pair of earrings in Costco on the weekend for $3. Loss leader? Habakkuk writes..

Loss leader? As if!! More likely sucker bait – you know, "Come in and have a look at these, buy something else while you are here. C'mon in, you know you want to!"Just realised the up front fee will encourage people to do more of their shopping there, just to justify the outlay. A great business model – for Costco. For the consumers, not so much. If you watch the doco you will also see Cotsco love an ASP of around $2.

You notice it a lot more with general merchandise rather than the food. Do you really need 3 drink bottles at once ? Do you really need a 4. They could easily sell a 2. I predict most people leave the store havingspend a minimum of $2. Pavlov writes.. pretty much guarantees people who walk in, will buy. Why waste your time going there if you are not going to shop – doesn't make sense.

The Meat is usually second to none. Good to know. I've looked for an on line catalog of what they sell in the Adelaide store, and have been unable to find what their range is or their prices.

So I'd walk in, $6. I wanted to buy. Of course, if there is an on line catalog, please point me in the right direction.

I may yet visit with a little shopping list. Just a lack of info stopping me at the moment.

Pavlov writes.. an on line catalog of what they sell. Dunno why, but in AUS no. So I'd walk in, $6. Apparently, in quiet times you can get a browsing pass – cannot purchase. I wanted to buy. It's a fancy supermarket – Buy what do you normally buy.

How do you know? Works in plenty of other places – you might belong to a wine club and get 2. Why shouldn't it work for a shop? It's a fancy supermarket – Buy what do you normally buy. Coles and Woolworths as well as Independents have already got this market in our household, and they don't charge membership fees. If the Costco supermarkets are lower in price than the regular supermarkets, or their range or quality is better, I'd shop there.

But without a catalog, how do I know? C'mon Costco, gimme a catalog specific to your Adelaide store. Coles, Woolies and the Independents can do it, why can't you? Just one on line will do.

Just one on line will do. Fair enough. I might look in one day. I might not. Give it a couple of weeks to quiten down then head in to see if theyll let u browse. I couldnt believe they sold car tyres.

The tomato salsa is good stuff, grabbed the twinpack with a 1kg pack of corn chips.. I like how Aldi has a catalogue every week and you can see what specials there are. I have bought a lot of good quality stuff like that. Wish Costco did the same. It might even entice me to shop there. I'm a busy mum and don't have time to just browse around. I only go shopping if I can plan what I'm going to buy.

Sakinah writes.. Wish Costco did the same. It might even entice me to shop there. Costco don't need a catalogue.

You know the prices. They stay the same. Always low if you need the amount in the package.

I only go shopping if I can plan what I'm going to buy. You go once, you know what they have. The end. Sakinah writes.. I like how Aldi has a catalogue every week and you can see what specials there are. I have bought a lot of good quality stuff like that.

I need to know what's available at a good price. Hate walking in to any shop where I don't know what they have or if their prices are competitive, but I'm there anyway and I have money in my pocket . Yep. Buyer's regret and another unused item stashed in it's box somewhere in a cupboard, that's what! Pavlov writes.. I'm with you 1. See you then. Quit moaning in the - -Costco- - thread.

You go once, you know what they have. The end. They do need a catalog. I don't know their prices. Hell, I don't even know what they sell!)A set of 4 Bridgestone tyres, fitted to my car? Can they do that? At what price? I can go to any tyre shop website and find out. And no "entry fee"!

BUT not with Cost. Co!! The idea of junk mail catalogs and website/TV advertising is to INFORM consumers and draw them in. It's an old and well proven method.

What's not to like? You go once – yep, to buy something. But what? Back to square one! As a disciplined shopper, I only go shopping for specific items in stores that I know the item is available at, at a price I find acceptable. Walking into a store just because items are in general said to be cheap, just doesn't appeal. Too much like impulse shopping.

Leave that for Xmas! So has anyone been to the Adelaide Cost. Co? What's available & what did you buy? What prices did you pay? This non specific talk of "they are cheap" and "lots is available" is making me rather . Pavlov writes.. Walking into a store just because items are in general said to be cheap, just doesn't appeal.

So don't go then... They won't be changing it for you. Pavlov writes.. Buyer's regret. I don't think Costco is for you. Their simplified model is obviously too complicated for you to work out. Sick with Coles. Worth, they see right for you. I've been after ricotta to make a big lasagne for a while, but the supermarkets seem to only sell it in small containers.

Costco have it! A 1 kg basket- thing for under $6. Watch The Comedy Online Hollywoodtake there. And it's nice, not grainy. Pavlov writes.. The idea of junk mail catalogs and website/TV advertising is to INFORM consumers and draw them in. It's an old and well proven method. What's not to like?

The junkmail is not to like!! I dont think they need catalogues. They dont have a thousand stores and are probably not directly in competition with the others. You wont find a catalogue but i found this site which has more info on their products but ive linked the page where they compared prices over a 1. I cant confirm accuracy but it seems fair as in the porterhouse steak comparison costo came out between $8 and $1. Interesting thing I saw today.

Whilst walking up the ramp in Auburn, I saw a guy step out of his car (parked in front of one one of the tire bays) and proceeded to remove all 4 tire caps. I thought either he really doesn't trust the Costco dudes to not thief his premium caps. Or he knows something I don't. It's just that I would have never have thought about removing the caps beforehand. AND loving all the Costco hate! Yea, at first, Costco is overwhelming. But once you have perused and memorised the products, it's (for me anyway) in/out done.

Also disappointed with fat free products only available on some items.
