I grew up in a small town, in a neighborhood with an HOA where every house on the street looked exactly the same. Making it in life equated to owning a home with builder-grade everything, right down to the gray walls. But the real status symbol in town was a Costco membership. I remember when Costco first came to town. Parents raved about the savings, and kids were dragged along to stock up on enough paper towels to last a lifetime.
Costco isn't just a store for some… it's a lifestyle. The free samples alone are enough to make the trip worth it, the $1.50 hot dog combo is a national treasure, and no one needs a 72-pack of muffins, but that doesn't stop folks from buying them. There's also the thrill of The Mystery Middle Aisle. Will you walk away with a kayak, a 12-pack of socks, or a three-pound tub of Nutella?
