Costco report on ACA vs. other supermarkets

[ufo_investigations]

This is the story they did on ACA the other night.

I would like to make my own assessment as we shop at costco at least once a fortnight. The ACA report did not do a proper comparison of what you get. The quality at costco is superior, far more than coles/woolies.  The fruit and vegetables at costco are always fresh and better quality. This is not the case at other supermarkets. The meat also is superior quality, other supermarkets don't even come close. The grade and quality, again superior!

The woman talking in this story goes on about the price and how much cheaper it is elsewhere, total nonsense!  What you get elsewhere is nothing like the quality you get at costco!

Costco is superior quality - absolutely no doubt about it.

I can't wait for costco to open stores all over the place, they are simply the best!

I can't comment on the report.To me ACA and Today Tonight are the televisual equivalent of the Herald Sun or the Telegraph.

I got the best coat at costco and yes some of their stuff is excellent, some is the same and some is cheaper.

I like costco but not enough to pay the annual fee to shop there.  

For people with large families it is good value.

If I had a need to make a lot of large purchases I would consider joining up.
