I have received over $200 back every year since Costco came to my area (Foster City, CA) I get computers, hard drives, etc there as well as supplies for the office. My only complaint is that I can't use a credit card except when I purchase online. They do so well that the nearest Walmart is in Mountain View - about 30 minutes South depending on the traffic. We have a super Target and I do shop there. Sometimes you don't want to purchase 100 pounds of rice or some things that are usually only at Safeway. The Costco in South San Francisco has a gas station and I agree it is good. I buy gas there almost all the time. Again, my complaint is that I can't use a credit card. You will notice that the employes have all been there forever. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Crooks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Friday, February 23, 2007 1:51 PM Michael Madigan wrote: >The difference is that Costco charges a yearly fee to shop there. I agree and according to the article made 70% of its 1.75 Billion income from membership fees! I go to the Costco near us because of the gas station. Last weekend I paid $2.09 and it was $2.25-$2.29 at the other gas stations in the area. I think I get my $50 back in savings at the gas station. If it wasn't for the gas station it would not be as good of a deal. The food is also good for the price. We do have a Wal-Mart and a Super Target (has grocery) near the Costco and we go to all three for different items.
