Costco is the largest and one of the cheapest dispensers of hearing aids

Listen up! I always wondered why my hearing as a member of Costco was so excellent! Just kidding!

So Costco offers more than cheap glasses and eye exams! 😊

"$1,500
Starting cost for a pair of hearing aids from Costco. Hearing aids from an audiologist clinic can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $7,000 a pair. Affordable prices, a generous return policy and good customer service have made the big-box chain the country’s largest dispenser of hearing aids behind the Department of Veterans Affairs."

Costco introduced a new half and half creamer. Don't buy it

Usually, Costco sells a great half and half creamer for a long time, but it has become more expensive too.

Recently, Costco introduced a new half gallon half and half creamer, i.e. Sarah Farms Half&Half. The label on it does not reveal its fat content. 

This creamer is more liquid than milk and it runs faster than water. This is quite a feat, but does not make your coffee really taste better. 😄

This creamer should be advertised e.g. for people on a diet ...

Costco Wholesale will not bring back the Supreme/Combo pizza to its food court anytime soon

Our Costco store in Phoenix, AZ has discontinued the Supreme Pizza from its food court since about 2020 with the Covid-19 pandemic. My wife and I are very unhappy about this!!! We both prefer this pizza over the cheese or sausage only pizza!

I have contacted several store managers about that, but they did not know whether this pizza will come back or when.

I have also contacted Costco Wholesale customer service via chat on their company website and I emailed investor relations about this. Basically, the same answer!

I was told by Costco Wholesale they are focusing on member service. Apparently, there are some gaps in their focus. 😄

Costco's own bagels not recommendable!

Not long ago Costco decided to replace Einstein bagels with their own bagels. It used to be a great offer by Costco, two bags of six bagels for a very decent price.

However, Einstein pre-sliced the bagels, Costco does not!

We like, in particular, the Everything bagels. The ingredients from Einstein are so much better than those by Costco (e.g. onions).

Worse, Costco bagel halves break apart either during slicing or after toasting! I just had such an accident happen to me. I was about to bite my half bagel when it fell apart into two pieces and dropped down. This did not exactly lighten up my Saturday morning!
