They may have good products. I was in the consumer product business. Folger's sells the same coffee to Costco as the do Sam's.

If people want to drive to Costco, god bless them that they have a safe trip...
I have observed over the years that "Shopping" is actually a hobby for some people. It's sort of like Pickleball, golf, cards, garage sales, painting and such are hobbies for others. They will drive several miles to shop. They like certain stores like a golfer will "Swear" by certain golf balls and golf clubs. They are good at what they do and can tell you the price of coffee, tea, green beans, where the sales racks are in department stores and which are the "best" because they know.

To each his own.......
