I like Costco for certain things which is what I buy when I go there. Those things: protein powder, broccoli, Kevin’s chicken dishes, kimchi, cauliflower frozen pizza and laundry detergent. btw Mercy For Animals has exposed horrific cruelty and unsafe conditions behind Costco's cheap rotisserie chickens. Investigations reveal that Costco breeds millions of chickens to grow unnaturally fast and large. This fast growth leaves the birds unable to support their own weight.
