I don't know how you can live with yourself. I demand that you take the TV back and buy an inferior one that costs more, at a smaller store

As long as my shallow ass doesn't have to watch one more than 3 1/2 feet across...

Ditto that comment. Before we left the UK my wife worked for Asda (owned by Walmart as I'm sure most know). She didn't resign, she took a two year career break (then she'll resign). Number of reasons:-

1. She still gets her Asda bonus
2. She still gets Walmart shares
3. We get a 10% discount on our purchases

So you can call me what you like and I'll still buy you a beer with the money I've saved.

Revisiting an old thread. We're sticking with Sams. Slightly better selection we think for cheaper membership.

The Sams Clubs here don't have any petrol stations.

Our Costco has fuel at $2.61 and the others are a lot higher. The only downside is Costco is not around the corner.....

And the problem we have with Costo, is our local does not have gas and the next nearest one which does, is in the snobby northern part of Scottsdale with gas prices the same as what I could get at Arco etc etc down here in South Scottsdale.

I fully hold sams club responsible for making me shit my pants eariler this month

i always fill up with BP or Shell 93 Octane, this time i decided to be cheap and filled up with Sams 93 octane

next day, the car started running like crap and the check engine light came on - misfire on cylinder three. I in my dramtic state envisioned a massive repair bill

spoke to the dealer and he asked if I had got gas from anywhere unusual

told me to put a tank of BP/Shell premium in with an additive

car is fine now
