Unless you know for sure you’ll find a specific bestseller at Costco, make sure you don’t buy your books from there. Their selection isn’t all that impressive, compared with an actual bookstore, and there are really no helpful, book-smart employees around that could help you pick out the ideal book.

If you want the lowest price on that particular big-screen TV model or laptop you wished for so long, Costco is definitely not the ideal place to get it. Given that online retailers, competition is so tight, they don’t always have the lowest price on any model.
Many of the TV and laptop models are specially made for Costco, and they might actually have fewer features to cost less. All you have to do is to make sure you check out the technical specs, so there won’t be any missing features you might have wanted.
