So You Wanna Be a Costco Connoisseur, Eh? A Totally Unofficial Guide to Membership Glory

It's a magical land of jumbo-sized everything, free samples that could feed a small village, and deals that make your wallet do the happy dance. But before you can snag that coveted membership card and wrestle a rotisserie chicken the size of a yoga ball out of someone's cart (don't worry, it's a rite of passage too!), there's one small hurdle: qualifying.

Fear not, aspiring bulk-buyer extraordinaire! Here's the lowdown on how to become a certified Costco member:

The Great Age Requirement: You gotta be 16 or older, buddy. This ain't a playground for toddlers with a shopping list that says "SNACKS." Although, seeing a kid wrestle a pack of toilet paper bigger than themself is pretty entertaining...

The All-Mighty Dollar (or Its Plastic Counterpart): Costco memberships come in two flavors: Gold Star ($60 annually) and Business ($120 annually, with extra perks for your entrepreneurial spirit). Pick your poison (or plastic fantastic) and be ready to whip out your credit card.

The Nachweis, as they say in Germany (Translation: Proof): When you sign up, be prepared to show some ID. Driver's license? Perfect. Passport with a questionable vacation photo? They might take it. Just make sure it's government-issued and has your beautiful face on it.
