Yipsy My wife loves Costco too, but I'm not as big a fan. There are some good deals, but now that it's usually just 2 of us in the house I think there are fewer deals to be had. I would rather pay a little extra if necessary and get stuff from Amazon, WalMart or grocery store.
Walmart and the grocery stores are busy, but Costco by us is like DisneyWorld. The parking lot is always 99% full and there is one super slow way in and then out. Their checkout line is usually pretty fast, but it takes so long to drive in, park and then drive back out that I'm ready to stick something in my eye....there is less traffic driving through Hartford during my morning commute! It's just too busy there for me. I'm definitely an online shopper because I hate people.
AND our Costco never has the Kirkland bourbon! wtf? Another reason to ditch the membership.
