Costco to Sell High End Engagement Rings, Guys, This is Still a Bad Idea


Daily Mail - It's not the first place that comes to mind when shopping for engagement rings, but warehouse retailer Costco is fast establishing itself as a one-stop shop for brides and grooms. Weeks after unveiling a line of wedding gowns, the retail giant is now selling a single 6.77-carat diamond solitaire ring for $1million. But for those balking at the seven-figure sum, it's still a bargain, as the the D colour, Internally Flawless diamond has been valued at $1.6million by the International Gemological Institute.

 Something tells me that no matter what you say, or how much you tell your ex-girlfriend that ring cost, if she finds out it's from Costco she's going to say no and leave your ass. 

 I don't know much about the whole engagement ring arena, but I do know it's supposed to be a statement of love and class.  And no one has ever had love or class on their mind when shopping for rings with 48 rolls of toilet paper, a life sized jumbo bag of popcorn, and a big enough box of Frosted Flakes to feed an entire dorm for a year.

Plus she's just going to nag you because you got it at a discount price.  Like "oh, so you can pay 1 million for this cheap wholesale diamond but you couldn't spring for full MSRP at a real store? Cheap bastard."
