Similarly, how many different options are available for similar classes of items found at Costco?

Say, frozen chicken, napkins, instant noodles, paper cups, etc. In some cases there is only 1 option offered, sometimes 2, rarely are there ever more than 4 options offered at Costco for a single type of item. When you trust that you are being offered the best choice or a top choice, well, we know what happens at Costco. People buy pallets in that warehouse.

Yes, but (1) Costco has nowhere near a monopoly on grocery, clothing, and electronics and (2) not even Costco customers do 100% of their grocery, clothing, and electronics shopping at Costco.

Costco is the "I'm feeling lucky" button.

Effectively, Costco shoppers are people who already have chosen, "the cheapest fairly good quality option."

Costco doesn't have a near-monopoly on grocery shopping.
