I'm also a Costco fan and have written to their corporate offices to take a look at the business opportunity in The Villages area. Sam's is OK........but it still pales a bit in comparison, especially in the fresh fish and meats. The last time I was in a Costco they had their own brand (Kirklands) Splenda at $12.99 for 1500 packs. Can't beat that. The workers are better compensated in Costco also, and a happier bunch. I've let my membership lapse because of their distance to TV and have let them know that, also.
