There are also price tags, which mimic Costco’s signature signs, for various items like cheese and crackers and meatballs. Even the family’s golden retriever, Sampson, had a price tag – for free.

“We were honestly just making fun of my husband because that is what my friends and I usually do is make fun of his love for Costco,” Josie Gonzalez said.
