Re: Gotta love Costco
There are people who schedule a trip for meal time, counting on those samples.
I think they are the devil and they make you buy more. Eat with caution!
Why Become A Costco Member?
At the entry, there is a Membership Desk just inside, you'll be able to see it. Just tell the door ID checker that you're there to join.
For the newbies, Costco also has an excellent reputation as an employer. It's nice to see a company that actually has a lot of GOOD going for it these days.
Sam's Club is Walmart's answer to the idea.
Oatmeal. Giant boxes of oatmeal, that's the other thing we get there.
Cigs are cheeper too, if you swing that way.
Very good for store/business supplies too. And copy paper. By the box. MUCH cheaper if you go through a lot and can't steal it from work.

I miss costco, closest one now is 30 miles away, but there isn't anyway to get there unless one has a car.
I'd be happy if we could get a full size Wal-Mart.

Re: Gotta love Costco
Another great experience yesterday. Having spent the better part of the day tracking down some fancy 5.1 AV speakers, I ordered online from a company in Montanna. Anyway walked into local Costco for something else and saw they had the very same speakers and less shipping, they were $100 cheaper and I didnt have to wait a week. Result. 
I was assured by the very friendly sales clerk, that if I couldnt cancel the online order before despatch, they would gladly and without question, take them back. I would probably sell them on ebay first because I have seen the same speakers being sold for some $200 more online, they are that much in demand.
I love you Costco.

If you ever get a chance, a Costco hotdog is one of life's amazing mysteries.
And those chicken wrap things are mmmmmm
There's a good reason I only go there once every other month or so!
