As a person who hates crowds I get it but unless it isn't doable for him going first thing when they open it's as busy or less busy than going to Superstore when they open. I would sometimes go to the downtown one cause I work in Olympic Village when they open and boom in and out hella quick max 1 or 2 people ahead of me in line but often 0-1.
That said, although Costco is cheap the math doesn't always work out. People use the logic of shit it's hella cheap but if it's an item you ultimately cant finish and end up throwing some away you just lost all those savings and then some. Combining Costco and Superstore is a good way to go for most things though I don't buy fresh food from Superstore and often Costco is too much cause I don't like freezing meat.
