5 Reasons Costco Is Great For The Holidays
The News Lens

It's getting close to that time of year! Leaves have turned and the weather is getting colder. As we approach Thanksgiving and prepare for this joyous time of year people begin looking for the best places to shop to get good deals for gifts and food!! This list will provide you with five reasons why I think Costco is not only the best place to find all your needs but also great for a family day out.

1. Hot Kitchen

Shopping can take a long time (especially during the holidays!!). From deciding what you actually what to the busy lines and the chaos shopping around this time of year can be somewhat tedious. One thing that has helped Costco to stand out from the rest is the environment and its attention to the customer's comfort. Most of the time if you have been shopping for hours you begin to get hungry. Here at Costco, you can put something hot in your tummy. Satisfied customers spend more time. More time means more money.

2. Taste Test

When buying food for the first time you can never be sure how it will taste once cooked. Here at Costco, you can sample it. You can get recipes. They share with you the ingredients. Whether you're a first-time cook or a pro you'll get tips and who can turn down cooking tips so close to Thanksgiving.

3. Buy In Bulk

It might cost you more in the moment, but in the long run, Costco is actually more cost-effective. You get more bang for your buck. WAY MORE!!! So in short, instead of having to shop once every two weeks you could shop once a month and save on the expense.

4. Marketing

One point that is commonly overlooked when it comes to shopping is how the store is set up. Marketing plays a key role in that. As someone who is very familiar with retail and customer service, I can tell you that without a doubt convience for the customer is major. Finding what you need when and where you need it makes shopping much smoother. Not only for the customer but also for the store. Unlike other stores that sell in bulk, Costco is very concerned about the layout of the store and tidiness. Making shopping easier.

5. Costco Is Not Just A Store...It's an Experience

VARIETY, VARIETY, VARIETY!!! At Costco you have options. Both name brand and generic. Whatever suits your needs and your wallet. The main thing that separates Costco from any other store is their understanding of the customers and their value. They make a connection to getting you the most of what you want at a great price. They know that grocery shopping doesn't always have to feel like a chore.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
