4:06 Andre, I used to work at Costco. They deliberately lose money on certain items, so that you are in the store. For instance, you buy your car tires at Costco, and they are losing money on those tires, because they know you're going to be in the store for 2 hours and they will totally make their money back. So literally the Costco membership is worth it, the very first time you buy a set of tires. You save more money than the cost of the membership. The gasoline is usually cheaper than all the other gas in town as well. Many items are far less expensive. For instance, at Sam's club which is Costco's rival, ground beef, is still $4 a pound

9:17 Andre, you have heard of Dunkin donuts, they are famous for their coffee, this is coffee that is supposed to taste exactly like that. That's why they call it donut shop, cuz in America you can't use somebody's actual brand name without permission

The words fancy and Walmart do not belong in the same sentence. Walmart is actually extremely low end. Hence why it baffles most Americans why Europeans consider Walmart a tourist destination.

I think it's about criticizing the low end people, the magats/trumptards. 🙂

My Dad worked at Costco for several years, so here’s some facts: 1. Costco never marks up their products more than 15% above cost. They make their money on the memberships and other smaller income streams. 2. They pay their workers very well. If one works in retail, Costco jobs are highly coveted. 3. They are the second biggest wine buyer in the world. Their corporate wine expert goes to all the major wine events. 4. I think they’re also the biggest seller of organic and keto foods, if you are into health and fitness. 5. Their $1.50 hot dog and soda is iconic. The price hasn’t changed since 1985.

There's also BJ's Wholesale as yet another option.

For over 40 years, Costco has sold the hot dog with a soda at the food court for $1.50. They have also sold a hot ready-to-eat- rotisserie chicken for $4.99 for over 30 years. They refuse to raise the price of these items or lower their quality and it's fantastic!

That must be the first time anyone has ever said "Walmart seems a bit more fancy" LOL Yes, Walmart is a regular retail store, whereas Costco calls itself a "club warehouse store". You have to pay a membership fee, and they sell items in bulk in a warehouse setting. Costco only sells a limited number of items and has far fewer options For example, in Walmart, if you want ketchup, they will have 50 different varieties, each one available in multiple sizes. At Costco, they will only have one or two options, and you will be required to buy two enormous bottles that will last you a year or more. But the cost is often substantially lower than the same amount and type of ketchup purchased at Walmart. It makes good sense for larger families, but less so for individuals buying just for themselves. At Costco, the store's back inventory is held on high shelves immediately above the items, rather than in a back stock room. Normally, you need to be a member to get in, but it seems like they sweet talked their way in. Normally if you go to the exit, and tell the checker you need to go to the membership desk, you can just keep walking and go into the store without a problem. You will need a membership card to buy anything however.

Walmart has cheap items for cheap. Costco has higher quality items at a very good deal.

I love Costco and have been a longtime member. The cheaper gas alone will offset your membership dues. I have the executive plan and get cash back at the end of the year which pays for my renewal. You can tell the staff is better paid and treated well because it is reflected in the service you get there. I enjoyed this.

I've never heard anyone describe "Walmart as "fancy." 😆Costco is a warehouse wholesaler where they sell items in bulk. That's probably why it feels more industrial.

Andre quick tip: whatever American food you try (especially BBQ)try it in person at a restaurant that makes it. For example those burnt ends are probably good, for a packaged food. Not meant to be anyone's first experience with BBQ. That stuff is mainly to reheat at home for parties or family meals.

Hey Andre, this month my snack crate subscription is from Portugal I'm so excited to try all the snacks

when you checkout, you have to have your membership card for the machine. that's why they can't buy stuff. but usually you can get a temporary card called a 'day pass' that is active for that day only. this is sort of a 'test drive' for the store to attract new members. I don't know why they couldn't get one, they don't explain, but all the stores do it. so it's really good for visitors (from other countries) BUT you don't need the card to buy from the food court. and they won't kick you out for not having a card, the door greeter will just direct you to the customer service desk.

I've been a Sam's Club member for over 20 years. I like their produce, bakery and fresh products. I love shopping there. It's a great place to shop if you have kids. Diapers and wipes are worth the price of a membership.

The membership for Sam’s & Costco only cost like 60/65 bucks (per year) and you get a buddy pass to share w/ friends & family. The membership will absolutely pay for itself in a single visit Edit: It’s actually $55 for Sam’s and right now till the 31st of July Sam’s has a half off deal on the membership so it’s only $25!

Costco membership is so worth it. If you get the Executive Membership at $120 per year, you get 2% cash back in every purchase. My parents used to spend $8000 a year at Costco just on groceries, and would make enough on the cash back it’d pay for the membership and they’d have extra left over. Some pair that with the Costco Visa card with 4% back, and you have a huge incentive.

Exactly. I avoid Walmart.

Andre, the Blue Angels are flying over my house right now. They are here this weekend for the Cherry Festival here in Traverse City, Michigan.

Apple probably has the bigger market share in America, but Android is also very popular. I've disliked Apple my whole life, being a PC modder since I was little. So when it was time to buy my first smartphone, I went with Samsung Galaxy, and have been perfectly happy with them ever since.

Costco membership pays for itself in weeks and I don't even buy much.The gas alone is worth it. Costco is generally nice, clean, and welcoming with free samples and helpful well paid employees. Wal Mart is basically the opposite of all of that. Though Wal Mart has its uses it's generally unpleasant and to be avoided if at all possible.

I finally tasted a Costco hotdog! It was SO GOOD! Quality, quantity, tasty, meaty, juicy, hanging off the bun! The soda was strong, cold, and not watered down! It was the best hotdog I’ve tasted in years!

I have a Samsung Galaxy 23S Ultra, and I LOVE IT. My family was split Samsung/iPhone - 3 of the iPhoners switched to Samsung this year!! You couldn't pay me to have an iphone.

Costco charges $60 a year. Costco is a warehouse store, meaning no fancy displays, while Walmart is a discount store. Costco also has discount gas stations.

You can buy a one day pass to buy. Memberships are a GREAT deal. There is also Sam's club ( which is owned by Walmart), and BJs, which are essentially the same. I shopped at mostly Sam's Club due to its location. Like many Americans, i had a large refrigerator and a second freezer. The quality of everything is great including the bakery where they bake things themselves. I would then go to my local grocery store for the items that i couldn't get at Sams, or i didn't want to buy a huge amount at once. A lot of families share a memberhip. I bet if they spoke about wanting to buy, someone would have offered to let them use their membership. I LOVE my samsung and gave my ipad away.

14:50 sometimes when we don't feel like cooking after being out for a long time. we stop and grab a whole pizza to bring home. it's around $10 at Sam's which on the way home for us.

"Cornhole" is a beanbag game that became very popular in the early 2000s. Cornhole is pretty consistently played outdoors, mostly by adults (in contrast to many earlier beanbag-throwing games that were mainly played indoors and by children). People frequently make their own cornhole sets, but you can also buy them. The Apple iPhone is significantly more popular than any specific manufacturer's brand of Android phones; but there are multiple manufacturers making Android phones, and only one Apple, so Android phones are collectively more popular overall. I think Macarons are more popular in Europe (particularly in France), than in America. However, as with many things, America probably has some flavors of them, that are not necessarily found in Europe. Like, somebody somewhere probably makes root beer flavored macarons, for example. And I'm *certain* there must be somebody in America selling PSL flavored macarons. The $9 package of brisket is probably a pretty good deal for $9, but if you want it to be amazing like you're probably thinking, you'd need special equipment to cook it slowly at a carefully controlled temperature for hours and hours. I think that's a box of 100 single-serving coffee packets, for one of those coffee machines that brews a single cup at a time. Yes, the major national brands of disposable baby diapers in America are Huggies, Pampers, and Luvs. There are of course also store brands. Adult diapers, naturally, have a completely different set of brands (Attends, Depend, Always, Assurance, etc.) We don't have Costco in my geographical region, but we do have Meijer, so I'm not complaining.

My mom had to get baby wipes from Costco just for my little brother when he was a baby. The deal for it is worth it. Especially when there is a sale. Also: the sizes are perfect for a family with active children. It seriously has helped my parents when I was growing up with my younger sister and our little brother.

Walmart has their version of Costco called "Sam's Club". I belong to that. Same exact concept! Also has the hot food .

Since people are mentioning both Costco and Sam’s, the biggest difference (at least in my city) is Costco has more organic stuff and a much larger selection of fruits and vegetables. They also have more selection of goods and actively import items on rotation. Whereas Sam’s has basically anything you can find in a normal grocery store but in much larger quantities. Both have food courts. My bf and I have access to both. We MUCH prefer Costco for most bulk things, especially spices and meat. But if we want something like a 14 count mini Red Barron Pizza, we go to Sam’s. Tbh, we’ve only been to Sam’s twice because we really don’t like it that much. But there’s things you can find at both you can’t find anywhere else including between Costco and Sam’s. Both stores have items that are exclusives. So if you want a specific thing, you may have to go to one or the other to find it.

I went to Costco today and saved $30 on items that were on sale and paid significantly less for items than they would be at the grocery store. You can cover your annual membership fee in 2 trips not 10. The Kirkland (Costco brand) diapers were $34.99 for 100. Pampers would be $44.99 for the same size package and Huggies were $44.99 for 75.

Walmart Fancy.... no, no, no, no. Costco just sells more bulk items, larger quantities for families. They also do sell some higher end brands, that Walmart doesn't sell. Costco can sell at discount prices because of their membership revenue.

I've been a Costco member over 30 years. When Sam's Club first opened here in Orlando a few years later, I had nemberships in both for a year. I ditched my Sam's membership because after 1 year, because there is no comparison in quality. That's why Costco rules the discount marketplace.

Walmart's copy of Costco is called Sam's Club. The membership is $50 for the year.

Andre, COSTCO is a "Members Only" warehouse store. That's why it looks "Industrial". Walmart has similar warehouse stores that are called "Sam's Club". Personal membership costs $60.00 per year.

OMG...the burned ends when I make roast beef....is the jewel of the meal. Tender with a smoky charcoal flavor that's to die for.

Your thoughts on the Red and Blue Solo Cups makes perfect sense actually. But we use them interchangeably for any kind of drinks.

Where I am in the Midwest, there are two “wholesale” stores, Costco & Sams. Sams is actually owned by Walmart, but just like Costco. When you buy the membership they normally give you coupons that exceed the fee. Not that you’d want everything the coupons are for, but it helps. 🤷‍♀️ The brisket was probably $9 per pound.

Add 1 to the Beesleys' " Terry's Black' tally lol. Costco is a good deal on some stuff, like any other store. I don't buy enough groceries and other items to make it worth a membership

Walmart is definitely not fancy. In Denver they are fairly trashy, but prices are lower than Target (next comparable store).

Costco and Sam's are wearhouse stores and sell bulk items or large quantity sizes. I have only ever had an android cell phone cheaper than I-phone and works great.

Costco is leagues above Walmart stores in terms of being a good and nice environment. Very funny to Americans phrase you made there, friend. Burnt ends are beyond delicious and while a bit charred are NOT burned. You need an American size fridge for those juice bottles, which fit in easily. The hot dog and soda special is $1.49 and has been that price for many years. It's a loss leader to get folks into the store.

I live 5 minutes from a costco....everyone and their brothers go there for the cheap but great food......

The pizza slice is $2, and the hot dog is $1.50 and comes with a free drink with unlimited refills. So $3.50 total.

I can still go to my 7-11 and get 2 hotdogs for 1$ and a slice of pizza for 1.50. Those prices aren't really cheap, just cheaper than some places.

The cost of either isn’t overly expensive (I’d say for most). It’s a yearly payment to be a member. Under 75/ year. Being vague because I know YT can be sensitive to financial symbols. But the benefit is being able to get things in bulk at wholesale. There’s still things we choose to get at our regular grocery store because it’s cheaper or we don’t need as much, but for the things you want to stock up on, both stores have a lot of pros.

I watched the original video and they barely showed anything in the store... they only touched on a few things... there is tons in there and lots of costco specials that they never came across... like the $5 Whole Roast Chicken....

if you have the money and space (in pantry and fridge/freezer) then costco/sam's is the better choice.. if you're limited on either money or space, then walmart is the better choice.

If you want/need to buy in bulk, you go to Costco or Sam's Club. Sam's Club is a sister warehouse store to Walmart. If you don't have the space to buy in bulk you go to Walmart. There are just certain things that you buy at Costco or Sam's that make it worth buying (she gave the example of diapers) but we buy toilet tissue and paper towels there because it's cheaper to buy in bulk. I wouldn't clothes shop at Sam's but if I wanted to stock up on canned goods and freezer items, bulk buying is the way to go but also even just regular things you consume daily are a good choice because you know they won't go bad before completely consumed.

I don’t shop there often, buy I share my CostCo cards (we get two people on each card buy and one card for each of us. I find it really worthwhile. I also like the way CostCo workers are treated (part owners) and the range of first class products. Their Store Brand is Kirkland) and it is wonderful! The other brand name items are not created by the brand just for CostCo. They are Huggies, Ocean Spray cranberry juice but in more commercial sizes. I buy toilet paper every time I do go and keep a stash just in case after the US had the great toilet paper shortage at the beginning of COVID 19, also butter, a

Now you know why Americans are big. We love costco. The macroons are french and GOOD. They are not dry like we usually get them in the us. I get the pre cooked meat stuffed bell peppers that costco makes. It's where you buy things in a bigger bulk that's how it is inexpensive. I love that place but I would be fat if I went there all the time.

Hi Andre, the confusing item of the 100 donuts or coffee was probably actually 100 K cups (for a Keurig - they are coffee pods that would make 100 cups of coffee). I don't think I would quite describe Walmart as "fancy" but sometimes it's not bad. Things can be pretty affordable, and they often have decent items. It depends what you're looking for. In general, I think Target is the nicer one, Walmart is fine, Costco is bulk items. As for the Puma and Adidas that you noticed, they usually will have some items, but not a wide selection. Inventory can vary.

Walmart is NOT fancy at all. It’s inventory is typically cheaper or standard items. Plus, their stores aren’t always clean or tidy.

As far as Walmart vs. Costco. Costco is a warehouse, so it's set up a bit different than a regular store. I'm surprised that you guys don't have more of these Costco kinda stores. If I was shopping and heard them...(No membership card) I'd help them with that. The membership is very inexpensive ($25 per year, not monthly) and it's a great place to get in bulk. I worked in our (California Redwoods coast) Costco when they first opened in 1994. Big $$ saver. Best of wishes to u and your family. I think you're an absolute sweetheart. Hope u make it over someday soon. Love 💕 and light 🕯️. ❤❤❤Nancy Kay

Donuts is Donut shop coffee pods. They go into a single serve machine . Each pod makes one cup.

Generally speaking Costco has better prices per unit. If you are regularly buying for 5 or 6 or more, you definitely want a Costco membership. The membership can also be helpful if you preserve a lot of food like canning or freeze drying. For just 1 or 2 people bulk perishables may go bad before you have a chance to use them all. "Kirkland", Costco's store brand is generally higher quality than some other store brands. I dropped my membership because I live alone and the nearest Costco is about 40 minutes away.

Costco does not waste money on fancy displays but instead has quality products. Kirkland Signature is Costco's store brand (Costco started in the Seattle area and Kirkland is a more affluent suburb.) Unlike other store brands Kirkland Signature is always good quality. Their target customers are upper middle class so quality is important to them.

I have an Android phone too! Mine is a Motorola Edge+. I don't understand the hate on Androids, I've had no issues and it's very good quality.

Never would i have thought the words "fancy" and "walmart" would be used in the same sentence. Haha and Yes we have pampers nrand diapers here. Huggies is one of the major brands (I want to say Huggies, Pampers, and Luvs are the most popular big brands? My niece's brand is huggies. We actually do experiments at home with different brands of diapers and different varieties before we landed on the one we use for her who is very sensitive. We use a shot glass of water on each diaper and feel them. Wait and feel again. Then try another shot glass and repeat. Its amazing how even ones advertised to stay dry just didnt do it. Huggies Skin Essentials seems to work best for her for now. But i always enjoy the diaper experiments... Which are likely over now unless her sibling in the works has different needs).

Costco, Sam's club (walmart), and a few other places that look like this are what they consider bulk stores. They require a membership and sell at wholesale prices and sizes. I haven't seen many Sam's clubs around since Walmart started making super Walmart (groceries and items) but I'm sure a few still exist.

Costco seems like warehouse shopping. My son likes it because he has the room to store a huge package of paper towels,for instance.

I have a Sams Club membership...which is basically the same warehouse style store...the membership is so worth the money. I have a family of 5 and a cat ...we literally survive because of the prices and huge amounts ... It saves me money and from having to do a grocery shop as often. I usually go once or maybe twice a month.

To answer your question about eating brisket from Costco as your first choice experience: no. Go to a restaurant and do it properly. Brisket is traditionally a low quality meat and it’s only by smoking it for 12+ hours does it become the sumptuous meat that you want to eat. I don’t know what kind of corners they cut to get the brisket to be mass market and sold in a freezer aisle.

I'm a widow and I still save money shopping at Costco 🤷‍♀️ love from Georgia ❤️😊

Those all-beef Costco hot dogs are amazing. They transcend all other hot dogs. You can buy a pack of them at Costco and make them yourself on your grill/pan and they are just bursting with flavor. They're so flavorful we feel guilty eating them at the airport on our way home to Europe, because they stink up the place. Not nearly as bad as the Polish dogs they used to sell, which for some reason they stopped....???? Anyway I don't like hot dogs, but I love Costco hot dogs. I live in the sausage capital of the world, and I miss Costco hot dogs so much.

I've stopped just for dinner before. One slice of pizza and a drink is all you need. I leave stuffed and don't even spend $3. There's literally nowhere else you can get that value. It's like stepping back in time.

the costco lunch is definatly a thing. If you have a membership and some time - you don't even have to buy anything - there are samples being prepared all over place - you can just walk around and graze on samples. no need to buy lunch. Costco is an institution.

Don't feel bad. There might actually be people who divide up their drinks by color, so people don't get something they don't want. And when you have your parties, you can do it any way you want. You might look up drink markers and see what comes up. They started with wine markers that went around the stem of the glass and, of course, people ran with it.

Just a fact, Nike is an American brand named after the Greek goddess of victory,Nike. Nike is pronounced _ny-key_ 😊

Costco is great if you have a family, or are regularly supplying a group of people.

The donut coffee are pods for a Keurig coffee maker. It looks like it is a 100 count box of the pods.

A few more things: No, Costco brisket should not be your first brisket. Burnt ends are amazing. The donut thing was actually a coffee flavor. They were keurig cups. Try the green card lottery!

Costco’s cash cow is their membership fees. That’s where they make most of their money. The second biggest money maker (I believe) is the Kirkland Brand toilet paper.

André, Walmart is not a direct competitor to Costco. Costco is for bulk buying. Walmart has Sam's Club, which sells in bulk much like Costco. You should watch a video about Sam's Club.

When you see those large package of foods, snacks it is usually for field trips or snacks For sports teams for kids or classroom a family reunions or larger family that pack treats or lunches ect….ect. They are not eaten all In one day, unless someone is Glutton for Punishment

Costco has a more commercial or industrial feel with its massive size and layout but their products are vetted very well and employees have very good pay and benefits. They are far superior to Walmart and Sam's Club. You should find videos about Costco and how they run their company. It's very fascinating and unique.

Burnt ends and brisket are amazing, but I'd suggest you get it at a restaurant. Pre-cooked/packaged food is never going to do the flavor justice

What Costco doesn't spend on decorating or clothing racks or any number of other fanciful fix-ups is translated to the lower prices they are able to offer the consumers .

As a single person, I buy sauerkraut, kombucha, and toilet paper. Sometimes I buy other things like popcorn and cereal.

Your question about people stopping by a Costco to have lunch - I don't think that's a thing, because Costcos are not in town, they're usually on the outskirts so you have to drive a ways. However there are those lucky people who work close enough to a Costco to go have a 1.50$ hotdog and drink with free refills. The parking situation at Costco is prohibitive to people dropping by for lunch. My parents' Costco in Seattle (the birthplace of Costco) is on a bike trail along a river so you don't have to endure the parking headache. And I have no membership so I just borrow my mom's Costco card. I guess eventually you look enough like your parents that it works. Costco really hates this scam but I'm only rarely in America.

They do not check your membership to buy from the food court so yes, anybody can stop in and get something to eat.

Costo Wholesale Warehouse, that says it all. Not comparable to Walmart o Target. Also, you need to be a member in order to shop there, Walmart and Target are retail stores.

You can go in and look around. However you can not buy unless you have a member that has a card and pay for you. Then you can pay them back. If you are an American, you can go in, look around, put stuff in a cart and go over to join right then.

André the thing about the armed solo cup is there’s a song by Toby Keith who is a a veteran which you should check out his songs he’s even got American dedicated songs for military

Andre, Costco has a store in Seville, Spain, that's not too far from you. Rent a van and make it a day trip.

Memberships cost around $60. I shop at Costco 4 times a year- and get enough stuff for three months for a family of 4 and it costs me around $400- laundry soap, paper towels, toilet paper, coffee, sugars, flour etc. What you were seeing that has the donuts on the package was coffee pods that you put in a Kerig coffee machine. These stores are warehouse stores are are for bulk buying. Stores like Walmart are for smaller quantities of stuff. Business people- those who have child daycare centers, concession stands, or restaurants buy in bulk. They would purchase the 25# sacks of flour, 25# of sugar, sacks of rice and pinto beans, etc. So many of the people that shop at Costco are filling their business pantry.

** Work at Costco. And YES, we do have many people just stop in to try the Samples, and eat from the Food Court, for their Lunch Hour.

Oh nooo....i know PLENTY of people who do not, will not have APPLE products of any kind. I do have an iPod but only because it's the 64gb one so I can have TONS of music. All kinds of brands for ANYTHING sell in Costco and in Sam's Club. They also have their own brands of products. Sam's Club brand named items are called Member Mark. And no that apple juice wouldn't go off before you finished it. The baby would help drink that :).

It is 100% worth the membership. I am single and I get tons of value out of it.

Donut Shop is a brand and they are coffee pods like for a Kurig coffee machine.

love costco. i'll grab cornish hens or burgers to throw into my air fryer on days i just want to chill.

You don’t need to go 10-20 times to justify the membership at all. There are many benefits to the membership and different tier levels. The most basic is $60 and the other is $120 for the year, but you get a percentage cash back on your purchases. If you don’t make at least $60 in cash back then they will just give you money back so that you really only paid $60 for the membership. If you go a lot, then you could make more back than you spent on the membership. People also can buy gas at many locations. You can also return anything for just about any reason. I’ve returned opened food items for a feel refund just because I didn’t like it. Costco is amazing. Oh, and can’t forget the cafeteria where you get a massive hot dog and drink for $1.50, and much more

Cosco is like walmarts sams club the membership is cheap and its great for bulk and they have Nike adidas and other nice brands for cheap

Do not try the brisket just go to a barbecue place youll get alot better flavor and most people get a membership and several family members will go with the card holder to shop in bulk

Grumpy Grandpa here. Honestly I live in the United States and I've never gone to that store.😂😂😂😂

We go to Costco all the time for the lunch. It's cheap and delicious!

I wish I could have a Costco closer to my home the nears one is like 45mins away but we do have a Costco distribution center in town which people can work at.
