I’m a studying at Shida and living near the university. I’m only going to be around for a few more months.
I have my membership with me from Canada. But from the looks of it, the nearest Costco isn’t really accessible by public transit.
Just wondering if a trip to the local Costco is worth it, given I’ll have to get a taxi? The only thing I really need at the moment is protein powder. Is there anything at Costco that would be unique? Or am I better off just paying a bit more at the local supermarket?
Taoyuan Branch of Costco is my normal store, they have this 6.5 tree with lights built in for 6999nt, and online there is one for 4200 without lights. anyone see this at their branch of the store for sale, or is it only online.
I remember the same deal from last year. Do yourself a favor and splurge for the lights attached to the tree. I did, and don’t regret it all. They pack way easier and have different colors and flashing patterns. Dollar cost averaging over the next five years makes it worth it.
Just your ARC, but I would guess a passport would work fine. Also your current address if that is different from your ARC because they will be mailing you their ‘passport of savings’ to let you know what will be going on sale.
If you have trouble getting a costco card in taiwan, but have it in your home country (like the USA), then you can also just get it there as the memberships are global, along with the handy Citi Costco credit card. The Citi card actually works in the Taiwan Costcos, and it has no foreign transaction fee, and you get 2% back (yay), so win win win.
