Each one had to pass a simple test: would a shopper over 60 find it interesting, and could they use it on their next visit? We checked every claim against Costco's own published policies and recent news coverage, and left out anything we couldn't confirm. Where a policy depends on your state or your warehouse (like the pharmacy and alcohol facts), we said so in the video. A quick call to your local warehouse is the fastest way to confirm. 📚 SOURCES 1.
