Conclusion
Costco promises savings that can’t be overlooked especially during an economic slump like this pandemic. Additionally, when seniors and retirees are also on a fixed monthly income. Costco offers a lot of products and services that are specifically designed and carefully planned for senior shoppers or have specific appeal for older shoppers.
Thus, Costco has earned the love and admiration of the baby boomer generation in every part of the country.
From purchasing a hearing aid, delicious lunch, prescriptions, and all the toilet paper at the lowest prices, to catering to senior shoppers on a fixed budget and offering them the shopping experience in a one-stop-shopping warehouse, it is proved that Costco has a persuasive plan to cater to the baby boomer market.

It’s very enlightening that for senior citizens savings on prescriptions, hearing aids/batteries, vitamins and supplements are ok. But for me I would like to see savings on groceries, supply items, clothing’s, and appliances, etc. and make my day!
One thing COSTCO fails to remember (and THAT is the key word) is to stop changing the LOCATION of items.
MY FAVORITE MEMORY OF SHOPPING AT COSTCO…I stopped at Costco this afternoon to pick up a few things. I’m still wearing a back brace because of pain from back surgery and I use the handicap scooter that Costco provides. When I came out, an older man with a cane (I never use the word ‘elderly’) was waiting by the front door. He approached me, “May I have that scooter when you are finished with it?”
“Absolutely,” I said.
“I’ll help you load your groceries.”
“Great…let’s go…I’m very near. I was going to ask one of the Costco guys for help.”
He followed me and loaded all of my stuff into my SUV. When he was finished, he climbed on the scooter and headed back to Costco’s front door.
Costco shoppers are good people. We were both winners!
