Costco super fan enjoys birthday celebration with free food samples, custom employee badges and more


Costco Wholesale is known and loved for its mega selections of bulk items, food samples, in-store food courts, and more.

Rachel Huynh, however, might be one of the biggest Costco fans out there.

That's because he celebrated his birthday in true Costco style.

Huynh is a 27-year-old immunology PhD student who recently enjoyed a fun birthday with a Costco-themed party at her home in Portland, Oregon.

Her husband, Tony Huynh, told Fox News Digital that the idea for the party came about because of his wife's deep obsession with the wholesale store.

“Rachel is a big Costco fan, although she prefers 'super member,'” he joked.

He added, “She loves Costco because she loves good deals, buying things in bulk, free samples, and the $1.50 hot dogs that come with a soda.”

The Portland-based couple said they love everything Costco and created the custom decorations themselves.

“All of our decorations were made by Rachel using our Cricut and Canva subscription,” said Tony Huynh.

She added that Rachel Huynh became an “avid Cricut user” after her wedding in August 2023 and was able to use her skills for this project.

“We then printed out photos and posters from our local FedEx… and some of our friends, who are equally big Costco fans, helped set up the decor, blow up balloons and prepare Costco-sized samples for the party,” said Tony Huynh . .

Tony Huynh also said his wife reproduced Costco's supervisor vest, placed price tags around items in their home and made personalized employee badges for guests, among other things.

“Our guests loved the Costco Photo Center, our photo booth,” she said.

The couple also noted that Tony Huynh's sister, Kayla, is actually a Costco employee and helped inspire much of the decor.
