Nah, Costco isn't a closeout store, it's a warehouse club
store, similar to Sam's Club. There are some items they'll only offer
seasonally, usually located in the center of the store. But they do
carry quite a few items regularly. I think the Tilia bags are
included, but since I don't have one, I haven't shopped for them at
Costco.
