She said: “You just click through, then click no thanks about the membership, and then you’re good.” She added: “Life-hack, if you want to try Costco or Sam’s Club stuff and you don’t have a membership, go on Instacart.’

Meanwhile the superstore hit headlines for all the wrong reasons according to a recent claim. A pregnant woman claims she was left horrified when she briefly chowed down some Costco pasta, only to discover a dead mouse.
The Miami woman found an “unusual texture and flavour” when she bit into her food, a lawsuit claims. Layla Medina says saw a small snout and whiskers that were from a little rodent.
Medina, who was eight months pregnant at the time, said she was scarred by the incident and also had stomach issues following the gross encounter.
She filed a lawsuit over the alleged incident, according to a report by the Miami New Times that said Medina is seeking damages over negligence, strict liability, and breach of warranty. Medina is suing both Costco and Rana Meal Solutions. The suit said the ravioli “had been manufactured, packaged, and processed” by Rana.
The filing said Medina experienced “horrible vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal cramping.”
It added: “Made sick by swallowing part of a decomposing rodent’s head, Ms Medina at the same time became severely distressed about the effect that her consumption of this adulterated food was having on her unborn baby, as she was thirty-five weeks pregnant at the time.”
The complaint said Medina had bought an organic spinach-and-cheese ravioli at a Costco store in Miami on January 20 last year. An attorney for Medina, David Singer, said Rana denied her claims. The Mirror has approached Rana and Costco for comment.
