Welcome

Let it be known that this blog is dedicated to the proposition that a day at Costco is more than shopping: It’s an event, a lifestyle, a strategic quest for a lunch gratis. Audience comments – and personal tips and advice – are eagerly solicited. This is an interactive site – use it!

Get Inked


One of the best money-saving features Costco offers: Quick ink cartridge refills for $7.99 ($9.99 for some of the larger models). The ink is high-quality and the refill actually is lasting longer than my new HP cartridges – black-and-white 27 series that go for $17 to $21. I got two refills back in December, plugged one in immediately and it’s still going strong. And this is with heavy daily home-office usage. I burned through the new ones all too quickly.

Not every Costco has this service, but it’s well worth seeking out. Just drop ‘em off when you enter the store and pick up when you’re finished shopping (and noshing). It usually takes about an hour. Color cartridges can be refilled, as well. HP, Lexmark, Canon and Dell types are accepted. Check out Costco.com for more details.
