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.

I was in Costco the other week, & saw somebody at the check-out with 1 DVD. LOL

I love Costco. Never been to any of the others. Will never go to Sams Club on principle.

BJ's is a 5 minute drive from where we live, so we go there We save tons of money. Not bad for $40 per year...I wasn't impressed with their higher priced cards. Paying $xxx only to save $3 or $4 for every hundred dollars we spend? I can do that with coupons

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...

I'm a member of both Sam's and Costco's and prefer the higher end merchandise in Costco.
