I'll second that, customer service is very important at Costco. They are extra

Dan has it, we bought the higher cost executive membership, I think $110, which
also gives points for all your purchase. If you exceed 110 points in a year,
next membership is paid for. We also use their cash-back Visa card, the cash
back balance is up to $664 or so, in less than a year.

They're far enough away that I'd just get glasses there and maybe tires if I
needed some.
I hate driving to East Lansing from here, and Costo is inconveniently located

$55/yr becomes $55/visit.

We had same issue, previously there was only one Costco about forty minutes
away, too far and we only went a couple times a year.

Looks like $1 for $50. Spend $3k and cover your $60 upgrade fee.
Gas/diesel don't count.

That’s why I went to the Costco-issues VISA. You get credit for your gas
purchases plus 4% back on them up to $7k worth. I have three cars that
regularly gas up at Costco, so I make my money back and more.
I would add that their previous branded card did not offer a spiff on gasoline
purchases.
Sounds like Dead sam syndrome. Drive miles and miles to save 40¢,
burning dollars of gasoline to "save" 40¢.
A woman who worked at the hardware store used to walk 1/2 block to the
locally owned drug store to buy a pack of gum. Until wally came to
town. Then she drove 6-7 miles to "save"
I's have to drive probably 500 miles round trip. maybe more... And
NO, I won't go to dead sams either. I do darken the doors at wally once
in a while to get oil or glasses, but that is about it. From here, a
trip to wally is 60 miles. I have no idea where the nearest dead sam
is. at
Not in my case. Having to buy premium gas for my cars I save anywhere from
$0.20-$.30/gallon over the ripoff gas stations around here, and the Costco is
on our commute, so none of us even go out of our way to stop there. In fact,
it’s even more convenient than the closest WaWa or other gas retai

Our Costco is just a couple miles away, and for certain things in their food
and clothing, the quality and price are not matched anywhere in town. Only one
car in our household (until I get the cabriolet going) that uses gasoline, but
the numbers still add up. Plus they have free food samples
Costco is like any bulk warehouse place - you have to be selective about what
you buy, and have it be something you actually use with some frequency.
I don’t mind stocking up on a case of TP or paper towels, as I’ve got room for
it. I’m not buying loads of food in bulk, but things like the house

Nice. Sounds like the fool emptied his magazine on them because he got
elbowed a bit. They will protect their own.
Pretty similar to the fool who emptied his 19 r mag into a kid who stole
his dad's pickup. He was not even reprimanded. Claimed that because

Since I've started shooting sporting clays I'm a more frequent Wal-Mart
shopper. I offered to buy 500 or 1000 rounds at Cabelas if they'd match
Wal-Mart's price but they couldn't get under $6/box. Wal-Mart is like $5.50 and
no tax in NH.

Considering where I live I've been to the one in Las Vegas more times than is
reasonable.
We do a class in Vegas every year and the class puts on a BBQ, one of the
students has a Costco pass and gets supplies there for the BBQ. I usually get
in early and go with him so I've probably been 5 or 1
Don’t know if you have Dick’s Sporting Goods in your part of the world, but

They combined that announcement with a side order of insult to gun owners:
Walmart now proudly proclaims on its own website that it is a “charter member”
of the “Responsible Firearms Retailer Partnership” which was co-formed by

Dad has the capability to reload almost any current shotgun gauge, I'm not
sure about 10ga or 28ga but I know he has 12, 16, 20, and .410.

The problem is that for hunting how many shots are you going to fire in a
year? The steel 3" I've been buying are $25/box, by the time I buy the bag of
