Enjoy buying bars of soap by the year's worth and tins of tomatoes the size of rubbish bins? Do you like opening the closet to find tilting towers of toilet roll? Do you eat four dozen eggs a week? If so, boy do we have good news for you – Costco, America's go-to warehouse retail spot for buy-in-bulk household items, tyres, and other random stuff by the truckload, has plans to open in Shanghai, as reported by YiCai Global.





Aptly named Costco Wholesale Corp, the powerhouse retailer runs on a members-only model – which it'll be bringing to China – with customers paying a yearly fee in order to be able to shop in bulk at discounted prices. In truth, those prices are really only marginally lower than you'd find in normal stores, but you can buy huge multi-packs of everyday items (usually brands' lesser-popular lines) so that you don't need to leave your house as often. It's a hoarder's dream.





Although for now there's no word on when or where the brick-and-mortar store might open, you can still get all the things you never knew you needed via the Official Costco Flagship Online Store which launched on Tmall earlier this month, in addition to a Tmall Global store that has been delivering to China since 2014.
