Yep, Costco has a website (shocking, we know) where you can browse aisles (virtually, of course) and fill your digital cart with all the amazing deals your heart desires. No wrestling over the last rotisserie chicken, no questionable parking lot encounters – just pure, blissful online shopping.
But wait, you say, isn't there a catch? Well, not really. Here's the lowdown on Costco's online game:
- Delivery Options Galore: You can choose between speedy same-day delivery for groceries (perfect for when you realize you're fresh out of everything except that emergency bag of gummy bears) or a more relaxed 2-day delivery for non-perishables.
- Warehouse Pickup: For those who crave a little adventure (and maybe miss the thrill of the hunt), you can order online and pick your goodies up at the warehouse. Just waltz in, grab your order, and avoid the shopping frenzy altogether.
