When the first Price Club opened in 1976, it was the beginning of a revolutionary idea that would change grocery shopping forever: what if you took everything from a regular store, made the packages large enough to feed a family of 12, then dropped it all in a warehouse that people could get lost in.
Against all odds the company was a success, and it's since been absorbed into Costco, the brand we all know and love (and hate) today.
Every weekend, 85 million card-carrying members crowd into stores around the world to scoop up bargains. If you're one of them, you'll get a kick out of these jokes about the bizarre experience of shopping at Costco.
