I agree with that for a lot of items. But part of it is that I don't think Costco ever does loss-leaders like grocery stores will (except in gas and their restaurant). Hence why I don't buy Costco's milk.
Costco is in a league of their own in Canada (and probably Iceland where they have a location). ex-USA, you just don't have deep-discounters.
With such massive turnover, is that everything is fresh at Costco, and it's not because they're throwing anything away. Their stock probably sells out daily.
And if you're not happy with them, you know you can return it a month later with a smile.
The Costco in Iceland is amazing. 150% of US prices, vs. 300-400% everywhere else.
In Hawaii (cost) and Puerto Rico (cost and quality) it is pretty amazing, too. In Puerto Rico there is basically no other good supermarket; the next best alternatives are a couple horrible local chains and Walmart/Sams Club/CVS/Walgreens.
