Why You Should be a Member of a Wholesale Club
Have you been on the fence about joining a wholesale club? Perhaps you’re worried you won’t purchase enough to get your money’s worth after you pay for the yearly membership. Rest assured, wholesale clubs are some of the best and easiest ways to save money. With a huge variety of brand name items at wholesale prices, what you pay for a membership is likely to pay for itself through insane savings during your first trip! Not to mention the hot summer deals going on right now at America’s top wholesalers.
Costco
Costco offers two types of memberships: their Gold Star membership costs $60 annually and their Gold Star Executive membership costs $120 annually. The main differences between the two memberships are the perks. The Gold Star membership allows you to shop at any Costco location worldwide. The Gold Star Executive membership includes this and more, like annual 2% rewards on eligible Costco and Costco Travel purchases and extra benefits on select Costco services. You have the flexible option of choosing whichever membership suits your budget and needs best all while you get access to amazing savings at their stores.
