Costco has my $150 cooler that I bought in February for $120. Act now before they’re gone!
Hopefully you learned a lesson to not buy anything from Not-Costco.
No, I bought it at Costco. I just bought it early in the season and I didn’t anticipate a spring sale. Costco has a 30 day price match. I bought about 75 days ago.
I basically spend the great majority of my retail money only at Costco, Amazon, Walmart, and an independent grocery store near my house.

Buy and return with the old receipt.
Can’t you return anything any time for a refund at Costco? Then buy the new one at the lower price?
$30 isn’t worth the bad juju and the internal conflict of lying and deceit.

Do you folks actually make use of these expensive coolers, any more than you would out of a $5 styrofoam cooler?
I have some decently expensive coolers, but I occassionally need to keep stuff cold for up to a week, so a regular cooler won’t cut it.
I BBQ a lot, at my yard, in the yards of family members, tail gating, etc.
It’s nice to have a couple of coolers at least. 1 for drinks, 1 for food.
Also, even at family gatherings in the winter when we are not necessarily outside, it is convenient to use a beverage cooler instead of having people go in and out of the fridge for drinks.
I thought I was being Mr Frugal for going with the $150 Igloo instead of the $400 Yeti.
I’d never buy a $15 styrofoam cooler (they’re not $5 any longer). At worst, I’d buy a $35 Walmart Coleman cooler. (and I have)
Cooler are tools. Like any tool, if you need one, they are nice to have. If you never need one, then even a cheap price is too much. So in this case, you have to decide how much you eat outdoors, picnic, tailgate, party hearty, road trip, etc.
I have several, the use of which depending on how many people it is serving.
Just me? A soft one that can handle a six-pack’s amount of stuff. Short road trips with Coke Zeroes, for example.
Me and wife? Slightly larger soft one for drinks and sandwiches for a road trip.
Several people? I have an Igloo. It rolls AND drains.
Hard to get rid of old ones. I have two. They don’t fit in the garbage can along with a week’s garbage. Might take them to my volunteer gig.
I’d buy a Styrofoam one if I were going someplace and leaving it afterward. Did that for an outdoor concert once.
Buddy is a announcer at Talladega. Monday he showed me pictures of stuff left behind in the parking lot. Someone left a leather sectional.
