There is nothing high-end about any of those watches nor is the furniture particularly nice.
And the food and vitamins are not cheap, despite being bulk packaged. While waiting for my film to be developed yesterday I walked around and priced two dozen random grocery items which I usually buy in other stores. Meat, produce, and wine all cost more at Costco. Dry and canned goods were about equal price brand-for-brand, Sometimes 10-20% cheaper, sometimes 10-20% more expensive. Dress shirts, socks, etc. were about the same as can be found at J.C. Pennies or Macy's right now. Those stores will let you try them on first.
Their eyeglasses are fairly priced compared to my other options in town. And they are one of the few remaining places to get film developed without sending it out.
Good deals can be found at Costco, but there is nothing intrinsically "quality" or "value" about the store, and a smart shopper will do the math and pay attention.
My local Costco had a JLC Reverso for sale for about six months. Most of the watches are not a great deal, though.
I agree with you about the price of vegetables and most food. I generally just buy Chobani yogurt from them. It is the only place to get it for less than $1 ea.
I have 5 pairs of Kirkland signature FF pants and they have been great.
