15 Things Retirees Should Buy at Costco

Passport Photos

You booked your vacay through Costco Travel, but have you checked your passport? Like mine, it may have expired. It’s time to apply for a new one.

Stop by the one-hour photo shop inside Costco, present your Costco membership card to the clerk, pay $4.99 for four headshots compliant with U.S. passport requirements, and you’re in. The clerk will take your picture with a DSLR camera, show it to you for your approval, and have it printed and good to go in about 10 minutes. The Post Office charges $15 for two passport photos.

You’ll easily unpack this next bargain…..

  • We are retirees. Love ya Costco. We are thankfully very active right now (ages 79), but are happy to see we can order groceries when the ol shopping days are over......(hopefully not until we meet the speed limit of 100mph)!!! Love, Lil ol lady from Escondido, CA

    • Yes and they are fantastic. It’s called ‘sameday Costco’. We use them all the time. If the menu doesn’t show what you know they carry, describe it the best you can and if they have it the shopper will get it for you. We have had nothing but the greatest shoppers and service.

  • One more item that should be on the list - TRAVEL. Past few years we have saved thousands of dollars booking Cruises (12), Travel Packages (4) and car rentals (7).

  • The iTunes card for Apple was a huge eye opener for me. I’m going to use this, so the charges won’t be on my CC.

  • Thank you; Every dollar saved is very important to be able to maintain a decent standard of
    living .
