I tolerate Costco. I really liked it when it first opened in Sugar Land, but only being able to go on weekends has soured me on the in-store experience.

I buy some of the food items already mentioned, but it's some of the other stuff that really adds value to my membership.

Tires- their price on tires makes it worth the hassle and they come with free lifetime rotation and balancing. And they're generous in applying the warranty if you have a blowout.
Contact Lenses- high quality contacts at budget contact prices
Prescription meds- i only take a couple of meds but their price on them is half of everywhere else
Rental Cars- when I travel I have found that the price through Costco is the best priced rental cars out there, better than AAA
I haven't used their other travel services but in talking to those who have they are first rate properties at budget prices.

We've taken one Costco vacation before to Mexico and it was awesome. We got montezuma's revenge, but the vacation was a steal, included flights, and we got a $200 Costco gift card

It was also during pandemic so everything was cheaper
