Re: Decent-priced vitamins/supplements?
 

Most kirkland brand vitamins are USP certified and have the doses clearly labeled so I think this is kind of BS. Mind you, most studies show that supplements in general are largely pointless so does it really matter?

I agree with Costco. I do practically all my grocery and pharmacy shopping there. I am a HUGE fan!!!:thumbsup:

Re: Decent-priced vitamins/supplements?
 

I see lots of people here are big fans! I'm just not certain it makes sense for us . . . not because we're doing something wrong, but because we're at a different stage of life than many members' club enthusiasists here. I understand that many who come to the USA need the stuff that these places have on a good discount, but that's not us. :confused:

1.) We're trying to down-size in terms of owned items. We're empty-nesters who tried to pare down our furniture & other stuff to make the move over the Pond, but we still have waay too much. We have most appliances we need, too, which though old & outdated, work fine. We don't need a car, washing machine, coffee-maker, etc.

2.) As for reduced price petrol, which would be nice--none of the buyers' clubs I've seen in our househunt have petrol pumps, whereas several Stop&Shops around here do have reduced gas stations for card-holders with aquired points.

3.) We're househunting, so not sure exactly where we'll live, & at least some of the shopping has to be convenient to public transport--which is so spotty in this part of the world. (We'll be sharing a car--haha, what fun in America, hey?!) These members' clubs I've seen aren't usually accessible (both to get to & to carry stuff from) on foot. That's kinda the whole point, isn't it? You load up & drive off . . . .

4.) The husband just hates the big box stores. He'll gladly pay more just to avoid the hell therein, so I don't know if he would *ever* agree to paying any membership fee . . . .

But thanks for the info, everyone! At least I know now what all the hoopla is about, & if things were different I'd probably rush to join up . . . .

Yeah, they don't work for everyone, the locations aren't always great.

They are great if you've got a business or young school aged kids or if they have petrol pumps....but as you say, there's only so much room to store all that bog roll :lol:
