Surprisingly Expensive Products From Costco
Costco is known for free samples, cheap hot dogs, and low prices on bulk purchases. But Costco also sells some surprising — and surprisingly expensive — products. How pricey?
Consider Costco's "Champions Club" Super Bowl package, which costs a mere $18,000. Or, if your tastes are even more extravagant, drop $350,000 on a pink diamond ring. Though some splurges at Costco seem worth it, many of these had us scratching our heads wondering which of our fellow shoppers are going all out. Not a Costco member? You can apply here.
