What I would rather see is another large grocery store chain other than more Aldi's move into town.

I haven't been to Costco yet but I will just because I'm curious to see what all the fuss is. But I did check, and it looks like they don't carry Cafe Bustelo in the vacuum-sealed bags, so I'd still have to buy it from BJ's or pay extra to get it from somewhere else. Gas at BJ's is less than 5 minutes away, gas from Costco is a 30-50-minute drive in each direction (car vs. golf cart). Costco also doesn't carry the swiss granola I like and I haven't ever seen it anywhere else. I don't really buy much in bulk but I get my membership fee back on the few things I do get plus gas savings from BJ's.
