5. Books
A lot of products and services designed at Costco have a particular appeal to senior shoppers. Hence, shopping at this giant retailer makes a lot of sense for retirees and senior citizens with limited monthly income.
As we all know, a book habit can get quite expensive at times. Retirees or seniors spend 73% more on reading materials than average households, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
If reading books is one of your hobbies and is on your bucket list, then Costco is a place to help you find a wide range of books at affordable prices. You may be blown away at the selection of current books the retailer offers, many of them are NY Times Best Sellers.

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!
We live in Lakeland, Fl. There are two Sam’s stores and no Costco. Why not? I dropped my membership due to a lengthy trip to your store.
Yeah, if want seniors to shop and be less stressed,” STOP MOVING THINGS AROUND.”
Remember we have a hard time finding our own car keys.😁

What is the annual fee for membership for seniors
It’s hard for seniors to shop at Costco, most likely, we live alone. I wish you had a senior section. We smaller portions.
I buy a few of these, like big bottles of vitamins that I use every day. Otherwise I find better deals else where. Specials can be good to.
In my opinion, COSTCO has two problems and one concern opinion when it comes to seniors shopping there. One, the bulk size products are not conducive to the Senior lifestyle. COSTCO needs a “Senior section” where smaller amounts of items could be purchased, as I don’t need a pallet load of paper towels. two, the selection isn’t as good as my local store. There are certain products I am loyal to that COSTCO doesn’t carry. My concern is three fold; the size of the shopping crowds – with whole families showing up like they are going to an amusement park – the size of the shopping carts, and the fair amount of rudeness I have endured from shoppers pushing those beast shopping carts up and down the aisles. I have had more then my fair share of loaded shopping carts pushed into the back of my legs, and it seems people make a habit of parking their carts right in the middle of the aisle especially around the “product sampling areas” . The opening of COSTCO a half hour early for seniors was a step in the right direction and has alleviated some of this, but for me, I only go to COSTCO now for holiday shopping like during Thanksgiving when we are hosting a large group for dinner. The wife goes to COSTCO the rest of the time because I no longer have the patience for it plus she like to get gas and have her car washed there.
