7 Reasons Why Costco Is The Holy Grail Of Everything

http://www.kiplinger.com/kipimages/pages/15235.jpg

Going to Costco is a rite of passage and one that everyone should experience as early in their life as possible. It is a store filled with unimaginable amounts of everything you could ever desire from gallon sized Ranch dressing bottles to 8-foot tall teddy bears. There are hundreds of examples of why Costco is great, but here are 7 reasons why it reigns supreme.

1. Samples on samples on samples

Saturday? Samples. Sunday? Samples. Everyday? Samples. There is little better than roaming around Costco visiting each and every sample stand Costco has to offer.

2. Costco alcohol

Spoiler Alert: Costco alcohol is cheaper and better than most name brand alcohol. Party on my friends, party on.

3. Food court

A hot dog and a drink with an unlimited amount of refills for $1.50? CODE RED! CODE RED! This is not a drill! This is real life!

4. Gift cards

Gift cards at Costco are one of the best items you can buy there. You spend $75 and get a $100 gift card, how is that not a quality deal?

5. Gas prices

Costco gas is exclusive AF and they have good reason to be. Their gas is notorious for being at anywhere from $0.05 to $0.20 cheaper than surrounding gas stations.

6. Costco credit card

Most credit cards have an annual fee that costs too much and goes somewhere you will never know or see. With a Costco credit card, your annual fee pays for your membership aka the golden ticket to entering into the Holy Land that is Costco. Before we get too excited, let's not forget that you get cash back with this card in the form of a Costco gift card. Did you hear me? Costco gives you money back to help buy things for another trip to Costco. Oh the circle of life, how glorious you are.

7. Travel discounts

Costco is literally the best. They fill your stomach with food, your home with supplies, and your life with experiences. Looking to travel? Plan your trip with Costco. Want to go to Europe? Plan your trip with Costco. Want to got to Disney World? Plan your trip with Costco. The travel discounts that Costco has to offer is what dreams are made of.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
