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

Not if there's not a return date for purchases. One can return it when going shopping at any time in the future.

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

Somtimes I bring them then forget that I have them with me. Always remember after I already paid, though.

It is my understanding that BJ's, Sam's and Costco's are all Wal-Mart subsidiaries. The quality of the items for sale is the only difference and the requirements for membership.

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