Some months back there was an article circulating about prescription charges and how they were a lot cheaper from Costco. The article also said that you don't have to be a member to use Costco's pharmacy. I just don't think of taking prescriptions into Costco.

I try not to go to Costco too often as it tends to cost me almost an arm and a leg. My husband jokes with the cashiers that if you don't spend more than $100 a flashing light and siren go off and you are told to go round again until the bill gets to $100.00. I don't know anyone who goes in there and comes out spending less than that. :D

We've just found BJ's, what a name eh, but it looks just like Sam's club, so we're just joined as we couldn't find a Sam's Club around here, though there is a Costco about 15 miles away, somewhere...
