    Costco's famous "trick" of hot dog and soda for $1.50 has been a success, with wide-spread acclaim. Also, their freshly broiled checken for $4.99 is a winner.

    I don't mind the mixed and unlabeled isles so much, but enjoy visiting Costo as a social event, with lots of kids riding in carts, electric carts for handicapped, and people watching. Cost of Costco does include a $60 membership card to get that 3%
    discount. Price of gas at Costco is okay.

    If OK means the best price in town.

    Even if you ignore the 4% rebate.

    The drawback is that you have to get there before the store opens unless
    you want to wait in a long line. Something I hope people don't learn
    (they seem to be unaware of it so far): The hoses are long enough
    (unlike Arco) that you can use the LEFT lane and still have the nozzle
    reach your orifice.

    My problem with Costco is that, to use your Costco City Bank
    Visa card, you must first have a Costco Warehouse card, which is $60. Consequently, I have given notice NOT to automatically renew my Costco card, even though Costco now does deliver, AIUI.

    Where I live, there's a monthly shopping bus that goes to different malls, and Walmart seems to be cheaper than Costco, might even have a bank inside. Can use a special FREE bus service for appointments such as medical, or pay $3 to go elsewhere; does
    drop off and pick-ups.
