Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) has been one of Cramer’s top retail stocks throughout this year. Some of the reasons he likes the firm include its scale which Cramer believes can help it navigate through tariff-induced inflation and its efforts to reduce prices amidst the current inflationary environment. This time around, Cramer commented that Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) might also be benefiting from inflation forcing consumers to eat at home:

“When I listened to that I said okay. . .Now I know why Costco’s strong.
