you might already know this, but getting a costco membership as a new immigrant is super worth it. like, i kick myself for not getting a costco membership early on and using it to buy good quality non-consumables and gas at discounted prices. like for example, i just bought a chef's knife from costco for $90, and its listed at $135 on amazon. i bought a vacuum with freaking headlights so you can clean the inside of closets for only $129 there too. you can get kitchen appliances, clothes, and some furniture there too
