You do need to know what you will use, sometimes it's trial and error figuring it out but Costco isn't the only one to sell big items. Have you seen mayo containers at Walmart? They have huge ones. Retailers all around have larger containers of things, the consumer has shown they like these options.That is my impression of a lot of the items at Costco as well. They trick you into buy a HUGE quantity of something that at the time seemed like a bargain or good idea. If you never use it up and toss it in the trash you haven't really 'saved' anything.
It's not a trick anymore than anywhere else but I also know you've expressed this opinion before about wholesale places. Just don't shop there seems simple enough.
We stopped buying a gallon of milk regardless of where it comes from because we don't drink it enough before it goes bad. We don't buy a big thing of regular mustard any longer preferring the small container because we like spicy brown mustard instead and get the regular mostly for guests. But Costco has a great option for feminine products (name brand as well) no trick there I assure you They have a good thing for k-cups (name brand) especially when they put it on sale. It's much cheaper than I get at the store for the name brand. I get the 72 count and know I will use it. But I don't get the 100 count of the same variety because I would get bored. But for a business or for a household where multiple people dink coffee it's a great deal. Speaking of coffee it's a fantastic deal for 2 lbs of coffee, we get the whole bean and use it on the weekends and it's extremely economical and for name brand, a local brand also does a special blend just for Costco.
And so on. But again you don't like it these types of places and you don't have a membership for these places so these types of threads don't really resonate with you
