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!
