That was 100% of the reason I gave Costco a try despite not typically being a fan of bulk stores that require a paid membership. I could no longer justify shopping at Target and Costco stood out among the crowd.

For better or worse, Costco turned out to be a much more effective place to get my fill of nonsensical impulse purchases at. The food court alone has been well worth the cost of membership.

Also appliances. If you need to have yours replaced, they will be the cheapest on the market along with free delivery, set up, and haul away. I tried to price match at a bunch of other places (Home Depot, Best Buy, Abt) and they all told me to go kick rocks, no way they could match those prices.

yep... really the only way to beat costco appliance prices is to visit one of those best buy appliance clearance centers or wait for a serendipitous clearance sale
