Never thought of stopping at Costco in Clermont on the way home though we have started that with Trader Joe's. With Costco coming to 466, might need to consider a membership to try it out.
We are truly spoiled. Up north we had 5 Costco (6 opening soon) 4 Trader Joe’s, 3 Sam’s 2 commissary’s, 15-30 minutes. Shopping weekly for fresh fruit, some poultry, dry goods for baking or pasta. Our eggs, beef, pork, most vegetables and fruits came from the 4 local farms, and our family.
We have preferred Costco over Sam’s since day one. Quality for us is better, 3 houses of appliances, all of our tires, batteries, lawn equipment. I don’t compare prices, because what I buy at Costco, Sam’s doesn’t carry, but I do have an app if need be.
My Dyson died after 2 years, I was replacing, when Costco manager told me to return broken for full refund. You won’t find a better Customer service and return policy that Costco offers.
