We didn't even notice the Shops at Wiregrass but will probably check it out next time.

Maybe it was the time of day but getting out of Costco and onto I-75 was pretty nasty with MUCH backed-up traffic. Once on I-75, it was smooth sailing back to The Villages. We've been going to the Costco over in Altamonte Springs but this felt like a much faster trip back and will probably start going to this Costco in the future. At least, until Costco builds one in The Villages (which I know they may never do)!
My sentiments...exactly!

Ironically enough, even when I go into a Costco to look ONLY for any new audio books (great prices on new releases), it seems I can't get out of one...without spending about $100.

I swear they have perfected...some kind of store-wide mind control.
