Bargain hunters, we’ve got good news. Any member of the Costco fan club knows it’s an absolute treasure trove of bulk brilliance: cheese wheels the size of your head, frozen pizzas by the dozen, five-kilogram peanut butter tubs and pet food sacks heavier than your dog – all at way lower prices than your typical Woolies or Coles run. So if you love a cheap deal, perhaps it’s time to sign up – Costco is expanding, with its fifth Victorian warehouse on track to open in 2027.

The American bulk retailer made its Aussie debut in 2009 and remains the country’s only subscription warehouse chain, raking in an estimated $5 billion in annual sales. Costco currently operates four stores in Victoria. And Costco is showing no signs of slowing down.
