Is Costco your happy place too? 

Carlin Lutzer welcomes Tina Chow, affectionately dubbed the Costco Queen, to talk all things Costco. 

From humble beginnings during COVID to building a thriving community of Costco super fans in the “YYC Costco Lovers” group, Tina shares her love for the warehouse giant with infectious enthusiasm. 

The two dive into the culture, quirks, and insider tips that make Costco more than just a store, it’s practically a lifestyle. 

You’ll laugh at the idea of Singles Tuesday, nod in agreement at bulk toilet paper strategies, and maybe even feel compelled to wander your local Costco in search of the next hidden gem.
